The key details you should know
Key Points:
- The Pixel 11 series introduces several new features, including a thinner camera module on the Pixel 11 that results in a flatter phone design, and new camera sensor hardware across all four models.
- Only the Pixel 11 Pro models feature Google's new anti-scratch displays, while the base Pixel 11 sees no significant screen durability improvements.
- The Pixel 11 Pro Fold boasts unique hardware such as a ceramic display and a nearly unbreakable composite back, alongside a redesigned hinge that reduces display crease but does not match competitors like the Galaxy Z Fold 8.
- All Pixel 11 Pro devices have smaller batteries compared to the previous generation, but Google suggests the Tensor G6 chip will maintain or improve battery life; the Fold model shows a 5% battery capacity reduction for a thinner, lighter design.
- New software features include Camera Looks for real-time image processing adjustments, Extreme Charging Mode for faster charging at higher temperatures, and the introduction of Google’s Gboard Rambler voice typing, with some features like Messages support for HiLight still in development.
