Pixel 11 prices and models

What’s new in the Pixel 11
Design. The camera bar is 40% thinner, which Google says makes Pixel 11 virtually bumpless in a Made by Google case. The Pro models get Google’s brightest display yet, the Super Actua at up to 3,600 nits, with a coating that more than doubles scratch resistance compared with the previous generation.

Cameras. Pixel 11 has a new, larger 48MP main sensor with 56% more light sensitivity, and its 5x telephoto supports 30x Super Zoom. The Pro and Pro XL get a new main sensor and a redesigned 48MP telephoto with 30% more light sensitivity, Portrait Mode at 5x and Pro Zoom up to 120x, and Google says Night Sight now captures up to 4.5 times faster. New software features include Magic Capture, which analyzes around 400 frames to catch the right moment, and Camera Looks, preset photo styles you pick before you shoot.
Charging. Pixel 11, Pro and Pro XL have Pixelsnap built in. Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro and the Pro Fold support 25W Qi 2.2 wireless charging, and Pixel 11 Pro XL gets 15 hours of battery in 15 minutes of wired charging.
HiLight. On the Pro, Pro XL and Pro Fold, colored LED lights around the flash glow for incoming calls from contacts you choose and when Gemini is listening or answering, so you can leave the phone face down.
Tensor G6. Google says the new chip browses the web 25% faster, opens apps 15% faster and runs on-device AI up to 3.5 times faster while using up to 3.5 times less energy.
Pixel 11 Pro Fold
The foldable is almost 10% lighter and about 1mm thinner than Pixel 10 Pro Fold. It has a new gearless hinge, a glass fiber back that Google designed to be nearly impossible to crack, and IP68 dust and water protection, and Google says it is three times more durable than last year’s model. Both screens reach 3,600 nits, it has 16GB of RAM, over 24 hours of battery life and 30W wired charging that gets to 50% in about 30 minutes. It also supports sign-to-text, which turns American Sign Language signed to the front camera into text on the outer screen.

Google launched the Pixel 11 about a month before Apple’s new phones; see our iPhone 18 release date page. For Samsung’s next flagship, see our Galaxy S27 page, and for another foldable, iPhone Duo.
