I've used Pixel phones for years. Why the upcoming Pixel 11 has me worried
Android Authority • • technology
Key Points:
- Google’s Pixel 11 series is expected to continue prioritizing software and AI features over significant hardware upgrades, with only incremental improvements in battery, charging speed, and camera technology.
- Battery capacity is rumored to remain similar to the current generation (around 4,840mAh to 5,000mAh), falling short compared to competitors offering larger batteries and faster charging speeds exceeding 45W.
- The new Tensor G6 processor will offer better CPU performance but still lags behind Apple, Qualcomm, and MediaTek chips, particularly in graphics and sustained performance for gaming and AI tasks.
- Camera upgrades are expected to be modest, focusing on improved sensors and software enhancements rather than groundbreaking hardware changes like large periscope lenses or ultra-high megapixel sensors.
- Concerns exist about reduced RAM options in some Pixel 11 models, which may impact the performance of on-device AI features and overall user experience, highlighting ongoing compromises in hardware despite premium pricing.
