Google has launched the Pixel 11 Pro, the latest version of its high-end smartphone series. This model focuses on advanced camera features, artificial intelligence (AI) integration, and personalization. Priced starting at £1,079 (€1,199/$1,099/A$1,849), the 11 Pro is £80 more than the standard Pixel 11. It offers double the storage capacity but comes with less RAM due to the cost of memory. The device is slightly smaller and lighter than previous models, though it keeps the same 6.3-inch OLED screen, a sleek aluminum and glass body, and a prominent camera bar on the back. A new HiLight LED replaces the old temperature sensor, acting as a camera flash and notification light. It glows when using Google's Gemini AI and pulses with five colors for favorite contacts, though it only works with specific notifications. Powered by the same Tensor G6 chip as the standard Pixel 11, the 11 Pro has either 12 or 16GB of RAM, depending on the storage version. While it doesn’t match the performance of top-tier chips from Qualcomm or Apple for gaming, it handles everyday tasks efficiently. Battery life lasts nearly two days with active screen use for about seven hours, including browsing, messaging, and taking photos. This is slightly less than the regular Pixel 11, but it should still last through heavy use with some charge left. For most users, charging every other day would be sufficient for regular use. The Pixel 11 Pro runs on Android 17, delivering a smooth and responsive experience with refined animations and haptic feedback. It includes a six-month subscription to Google AI Pro, granting access to Gemini Omni, higher AI usage limits, 5TB of cloud storage, and Google Health Premium. Local AI features include Rambler, a voice dictation tool in Gboard that generates coherent text from speech, and improved proactive assistance from Gemini, although this feature is limited to certain apps. The camera system includes a 42MP front-facing lens and a triple rear setup with 50MP wide, 48MP ultra-wide, and 48MP 5x telephoto lenses. A new feature called Instant Night Sight speeds up low-light photography by up to 4.5 times. The 5x telephoto lens allows for a 10x crop zoom and up to 120x magnification using digital zoom and AI enhancements. Magic Capture simplifies video and photo recording with a single button, while Camera Looks lets users apply different visual styles to their photos, such as "minimal," "digi," and "velvet." The Pixel 11 Pro includes a 120Hz QHD+ OLED screen, 5G connectivity, eSIM support, Wi-Fi 7, ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, NFC, Bluetooth 6, Thread, and GNSS. It is water-resistant with an IP68 rating and can last over 1,000 full-charge cycles. The phone uses 31% recycled materials by weight and is designed to be repairable, with manuals, parts, and free recycling available for old devices. Positioned as a more refined version of previous Pro models, the Pixel 11 Pro offers top-tier hardware, camera performance, and AI features in a slightly more affordable and compact package. While it is not a massive upgrade from the already strong Pixel 11 or recent Pro models, it is well-received for its camera capabilities, customization options, and AI features. However, it has faced criticism for its high price, lower memory on the cheapest model, and the absence of a physical SIM card slot in the US.
