Pixel 11

Released August 2026

The Pixel 11 is Google's standard 6.3-inch phone for 2026, with the Tensor G6 chip, 12 GB of memory and a triple camera that includes a 5× telephoto, for Android buyers who want a flagship Pixel without paying for the Pro models' LTPO display and 50 MP cameras.

What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the Pixel 11 is a well-built phone with dependable cameras, useful AI features and good battery life, but that it changes little from the Pixel 10 while costing more. The common criticisms are the price rise and a Tensor G6 that trails rival flagship chips; GSMArena also found wired charging slow and the 60–120 Hz refresh handling basic.
