All three bar-type models (Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL) get a newly redesigned camera bar that uses a single piece of edge-to-edge glass that blends into the metal frame, making it look even more refined.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The devices all retain IP68 dust and water resistance<\/b>, and all of them will be getting Google\u2019s new 2nm Tensor G6<\/b> processor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
AI features are mostly the same across the devices as well, with Gemini Intelligence helping to pull relevant information across apps (which is basically what Magic Cue promised<\/u>) and display what you need. There\u2019s also new voice-to-text capabilities that let the phones automatically remove filler words like \u201cum\u201d and format your thoughts into proper text.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The display sizes are unchanged for the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL. As for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, it keeps the same inner display size, but the outer display is now a 6.5-inch screen <\/b>\u2013 up from 6.3 inches in the previous generation.<\/p>\n
The Google Pixel Camera app now gets Circle to Search<\/b> so you can identify objects, translate text and more without needing to switch to another app or take a photo first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also a new capture mode in the Camera app called Magic Capture<\/b>, which captures both a video and high-quality photos with a single tap, so you don\u2019t have to keep looking at the phone when capturing a moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Camera Looks<\/b> is a new feature that allows users to create their own set of film styles and filters for a more distinct look to their photos.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Titan M3<\/b> security chip inside is also new, with hardware-level protection and post-quantum cryptography to protect Pixel devices against digital attacks. Pixel\u2019s Scam Detection<\/b> feature is also available here, so if the other party on a call or text conversation has suspicious patterns, the user will be alerted.<\/p>\nWhat\u2019s new with the Google Pixel 11 Pro & Pro XL\u00a0<\/h2>\n![\"Google](\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/064cbc3d21bcc269fc5cbaa402e7cedbe790fb004cad46bfe581d2d7a351315b?w=660&q=85\")
\nOnly the Pro models get HiLight.<\/p>\n

The upgrades on the Pro models this year are definitely more noticeable. First of all, these phones get the new HiLight<\/b> LED light array on the camera bar.<\/p>\n
When placing the phones face down, Pixel\u2019s Flip to Shhh<\/b> is activated, and HiLight will glow with customisable colours for incoming calls from favourite contacts. Google states this feature is integrated with WhatsApp and Phone by Google, so the colours stay the same no matter how the favourite contact is calling you.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The display gets a few nice upgrades, including being protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 glass that gets a coating that\u2019s more than twice as scratch-resistant, and a higher 3,600-nit<\/b> peak brightness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both the main and telephoto cameras are new as well. The new 50MP main camera gets a new 1\/1.3-inch sensor, with 2x optical quality<\/b> zoom. The telephoto camera, on the other hand, is now able to capture 32% more light than before, with Google upgrading the digital zoom all the way to 120x.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also Instant Night Sight<\/b>, which helps to capture photos in low light up to 4.5x faster than normal Night Sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both devices get up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage, with over 30 hours of battery life. The Pixel 11 Pro gets a 4,850mAh<\/b> battery while the Pixel 11 Pro XL gets one with a capacity of 5,115mAh<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The Pixel 11 Pro XL can charge up to approximately 75% in just 30 minutes, while the Pixel 11 Pro is supposed to charge up to 55% in 30 minutes with wired charging.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wireless charging is also faster than before, with a 17% improvement for the Pixel 11 Pro XL and 29% for the Pixel 11 Pro.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The base model doesn\u2019t get HiLight, but it does get the new Google Tensor G6 processor, which Google claims to deliver up to 20% better power efficiency, 25% faster browsing and 15% faster app loading compared to the Tensor G5 chip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Imaging Signal Processor (ISP) inside is also improved, with reduced processing lag and quicker captures.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just like previous years, the display retains its 3,000-nit<\/b> peak brightness along with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Google also claims it\u2019s upgraded the 48MP main camera on the Pixel 11, with a larger sensor that provides 56% better light sensitivity compared to the Pixel 10.\u00a0Super Zoom has also been upgraded to 30x.<\/p>\n
The phone gets 12GB of RAM, with storage starting from 256GB, and supposedly can offer over 30 hours of battery with the 4,985mAh<\/b> battery inside.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s 30W wired charging that gets the phone to 55% in 30 minutes and 25% faster wireless charging thanks to the built-in Pixelsnap magnetic compatibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n
