What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the Pixel 11 Pro XL's display, build and cameras, which are quicker to shoot, and single out new software such as the Rambler dictation tool, but see it as an iterative update on the Pixel 10 Pro XL. The common complaints are the higher price and less memory in the base model; Trusted Reviews found gaming performance poor and the phone big and heavy.
