Google Pixel 11 Review: How Gemini and Hardware Changed My Mind

What happened

• The author spent a week using the Google Pixel 11 and found that it changed their opinion about Gemini (for the better).
• The Pixel 11 features a Tensor G6 chip, an improved camera sensor, and new AI enhancements.
• Pros included a brighter display, Qi2 25W wireless charging, and a grippier glossy back glass.
• Cons noted were the pricier baseline at 256GB and the potential for too much AI features for some users.

Why it matters for me

The Pixel 11 offers a great balance. While it has hardware limitations compared to Pro models (like lower display brightness or less RAM/storage), the Gemini/AI enhancements shine particularly brightly on this base model. Features like dictating messages and AI-enhanced 30x zoom are smooth and reliable, enhancing the user experience without overwhelming the user.

What to remember

• The Pixel 11 has a 6.3-inch AMOLED display with 60Hz and 120Hz refresh rates.
• It supports 30W wired charging, while Pro models support 45W.
• Compared to Pro models, the base model has less memory (12GB RAM/512GB storage vs. up to 16GB RAM/1TB storage).
