The Google Pixel 11 might seem like a boring upgrade, but I'd still pick it over the Pixel 11 Pro — here's why

The Google Pixel 11 has arrived as an iterative update to the Pixel 10, featuring the new Tensor G6 chipset, a brighter display, and a slimmer camera bump. While it may appear modest, hands-on testing suggests it is the superior choice for most consumers compared to the more expensive Pixel 11 Pro. The standard model offers a compact 6.3-inch form factor and identical everyday performance, including charging speeds, durability, and software support. Notably, the Pixel 11 Pro has seen a reduction in RAM from 16GB to 12GB, narrowing the gap between the two devices without a corresponding price drop for the Pro. Given that the base Pixel 11 now includes 256GB of storage and delivers a nearly indistinguishable user experience in multitasking and gaming, the reviewer concludes that the standard model provides better overall value, making the Pro variant increasingly difficult to justify for the average user.
