Google Pixel 11
A capable, well-supported phone held back by a price increase and flat performance.

Our verdict
The standard Pixel 11 keeps a 5x telephoto camera, which is unusual at this price, and pairs it with a brighter OLED panel that Tom's Guide measured at 2,480 nits. Tensor G6 brings only small benchmark gains over the Pixel 10, and Tom's Guide's battery result of 12 hours 45 minutes is slightly down on last year. Google dropped the 128GB model, so the $899 starting price now buys 256GB.
