Customer Ratings & Reviews

Exceptional refinement across the board. Coming from previous generations, the Pixel 11 Pro XL feels like Google firing on all cylinders. The build quality in hand is genuinely premium, the display gets ridiculously bright with flawless outdoor visibility, and everyday performance is snappy without breaking a sweat or warming up unnecessarily. Battery life easily carries through an intense day, and the camera system continues to deliver class-leading consistency—especially dynamic range and low-light portraits. Fast, fluid, and polished software. Easily Google’s best flagship to date.

The Pixel 11 Pro XL design remains similar to last year's model with the most notable change to the camera bar. To me, this phone remains the best looking, most ergonomic and smartest phone on the market. In the box you get the phone along with a USB-C transfer/charging cable. A power adapter is not included. My phone came with about an 80% charge so it was ready to go as soon as I plugged it in. I used my Pixel 10 Pro XL to transfer my account and data to the new phone. As soon as I turned the phone on, it connected to my old phone and the setup and transfer began. It can do it wirelessly; however, it will go faster if you use the included usb cable. The setup was very quick, even connecting to my Wi-Fi without needing to enter my password. As I mentioned the camera bar is the only noticeable physical difference. I has been made shallower. It is the only phone of the major brands that lies completely flat on its back. This seems like a small detail, but it makes typing and scrolling so much easier when lying on a flat surface. Google states that the screen has a new coating that makes it twice as scratch-resistant. However, I will not test the validity of that statement so I installed a screen protector and a case immediately. This year's model is the first to have the Google Tensor G6 chip, which is designed to work better with Gemini and improve photography. I was very satisfied with the camera on my Pixel 10 Pro XL, however, the Pro 11 XL camera is noticeably better. I am not a photographer, but it is easy to see the difference when comparing the same shots side by side. The detail is strikingly better, especially when zooming with the telescopic lens. Video has also been improved, even the audio quality is better. Video stabilization is excellent.One of my favorite new features is Magic Capture. This allows the camera to take a video and high-quality photos simultaneously. You can then pick out photos to save that you never would have been able to capture on your own. Night Sight has been improved too. You can take low light photos in a fraction of the time it used to take. This means that your subject does not have to stand still for a long time and you don't have to hold the shutter as long. Google calls it Instant Night Sight. The very useful Circle to Search which has been available on Pixel phones for a while has now been added to the camera. Just point your camera at an object and Google will tell you what it is. And of course this can be used to translate also. The camera can be instantly accessed by double tapping the power button. You can even customize the camera settings that will open so that you are ready to shoot. There are far too many camera-related settings to cover now, including a Creator Suite designed to facilitate video production. The temperature sensor has been replaced by a sensor called HiLight. It is an LED light that glows various colors depending on which contact is calling you. It will also glow when communicating with Gemini. However, this is only visible when your phone is lying screen down. I set this up; however, I have not found it to be useful yet. Maybe Google will add additional features to this in the future. Gemini has been very helpful in so many ways and now its features have been expanded. Visual cards in chats will show answers to questions such as your availability, flight information, etc. This saves you the time spent searching for this information. Gemini can also make restaurant reservations from your chat and even order groceries from your Keep list. I have not tried either of these features yet. Gemini Omni will create an 8 second video based on photos and other information you input, such dialogue and background. Another one of my favorite new features is called Rambler. This allows you to speak naturally, including all the flaws and "ums," and it will filter out the mistakes, restating your message as a clear concise message. Finally, the Pixel 11 Pro XL excels as a phone. Connectivity is strong to both Wi-Fi and cellular. The voice is very clear. The screen is brighter than ever. BTW, the color I chose was fog. I have yet to see a picture of that accurately shows the color. In certain light it looks off-white; in other light, it looks light blue or light green. It is attractive; however, it must be seen in person. In summary the Pixel 11 Pro XL is an excellent phone with a very attractive ergonomic design and the brains to back it up. I would recommend this phone to everyone.

If you have been following the Google Pixel at all, you may know that they have been making more subtle improvements over the last couple of years. At least on the outside. That remains true with the Pixel 11 Pro XL. However, as they say, it's what's inside that counts. The specs, on paper, may seem like they are nothing to brag about. But, when using the phone daily, it's easy to see the refinements that have been made, and the push to just make things easier. Which, I think everyone can be happy with. The upgraded tensor processor seems to make a significant improvement in several key areas. Using any sort of AI seems to be more responsive. While some people may think that isn't for them, the new processor also helps in photo processing, which I'm sure nearly everyone benefits from. -- Setup Transferring to a new phone seems to get easier each generation of Pixel devices. Moving to the Pixel 11 from the Pixel 10 was easier than ever. With nice little details, like during the wireless transfer process, you're given the option to plug in a cable to speed things up, instead of choosing one option at the beginning only. I tried plugging in during the middle of my transfer, just to see how things would go, and it didn't skip a beat. It just continued transferring my content over. To me, it's all these little things like this that make the experience of the Pixel tough to beat. -- Hardware As I mentioned, the upgraded Tensor chip makes a clear difference. The upgraded camera also works very well. I'm always impressed by the photo quality of the Pixels. While I do think some cameras work better in video than the Pixel, it's definitely no slouch. Being able to shoot at 4k 60 on the device is a nice addition, and seeing how quickly Night Sight photos are processed is pretty impressive. Something else that I've noticed during my testing, is that the phone doesn't seem to get nearly as hot as my Pixel 10 would get during heavy tasks. My Pixel 10 Pro XL would often get pretty warm if I tried using the phone while also using Android Auto in my car. The 11 doesn't seem to have this issue. Battery life seems to be improved as well over my 10. All while the performance seems better. I'm easily making it through the day with around 30% battery left, whereas my 10 would often be scraping by at the end of the day. The physical look of the phone is also refined over the 10. The camera bar seems like a more cohesive and sleek design now. And the addition of "HiLight" seems like it may have potential. But it's not the most useful addition so far. Being limited to calling contacts or Gemini so far. Hopefully Google will expand on this feature in the future. Pixels always seem to excel with their software features and the 11 has updated hardware to make that experience even better. While maybe not a huge leap from the 10, there's enough here to make me more than happy with the upgrades. And I'll be looking forward to upcoming feature drops through the year to see what else they may add and improve. Pros: nicely refined and elegant hardware, excellent software, excellent camera Cons: HiLight seems a little restricted at the moment, while it's no slouch, additional performance for gaming would also be welcome

Great phone, lots of features, sleek design, very responsive, nice big screen for gaming and photos and video calls!!

The camera is amazing. Display as well. Haven't really tested the battery limits yet, but I'm 16 hours into today and still have 71% left.

Great device smooth UI and awesome cameras. My only grip is the battery life and the ram. Other than that it’s a pixel.

Everyone should get one, great camera, great battery life
