Pixel 11 Pro: Google's Premium Flagship Falls Short on Value
The Google Pixel 11 Pro is the latest flagship from Google, but it comes at a premium price. The base model starts at $1,100 in the US and €999 in Europe, which is a significant jump compared to last year's 256GB Pixel 10 Pro.
In the US market, the Pixel 11 Pro faces stiff competition from Samsung Galaxy S26 and Apple iPhone 17 Pro. However, the Google device has its merits, including more potent camera hardware. But with a price gap of at least $300 between the two devices, it's hard to argue against the cheaper option.
In European markets, the situation is similar. The 128GB Pixel 10 Pro can be found at reasonable prices, but the 256GB Pixel 11 Pro costs around €300 more than its predecessor. In this case, the Samsung Galaxy S26 and Chinese competitors like vivo X300 and Xiaomi 17 offer better value for money.
