Key Points:
- The Pixel 11 Pro features an upgraded telephoto camera sensor that is larger than the one used in the Pixel 10 Pro and 9 Pro, potentially improving low-light performance.
- A Reddit user demonstrated that the Pixel 11 Pro’s telephoto camera can focus on subjects much closer than the Pixel 9 Pro's telephoto lens, enhancing framing flexibility.
- The Pixel 11 Pro uses a 48-megapixel, 1/1.95" sensor for its telephoto camera, while the Pixel 9 Pro and 10 Pro use Sony’s 48-megapixel, 1/2.55" IMX858 sensor.
- Google has not officially commented on this telephoto camera improvement, and the company did not highlight this feature in its Pixel 11 Pro marketing.
- The closer focusing capability may be roughly half the minimum focus distance of the Pixel 9 Pro’s telephoto camera, according to user observations.
