Pixel 11 Series Battery Life Review

Key Points:

• The Pixel 11 series features slightly smaller or comparable battery capacities than the Pixel 10 series, but Google promises over 30 hours of battery life, an improvement from the previous 24+ hours.
• The Pixel 11 has a 4985mAh battery, slightly larger than the Pixel 10, while the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL have 4850mAh and 5115mAh batteries respectively, both slightly smaller than their Pixel 10 Pro counterparts.
• Battery life improvements are attributed to the more efficient Tensor G6 chip and a new power-efficient MediaTek modem, helping offset smaller battery sizes.
• Early testing shows the Pixel 11 can last a full day with 10-20% battery remaining at night, and features an Extreme Charging Mode that rapidly charges the battery when below 50%.
• The Pixel 11 Pro models deliver 3.5-4 hours of screen-on time with around 30-50% battery left at day's end, comparable to last year's Pixel 10 Pro results, with wireless Android Auto identified as a significant battery drain.
