Google Pixel 11

Despite being iterative and $100 pricier, it remains one of the best phones available, with solid performance, battery life and useful AI.

Builds on the Pixel 10 with more useful AI, social features, doubled base storage and faster charging, making it the one to buy despite the higher price.

Not the best Pixel of the year, but the smartest buy: it matches the Pro on RAM and performance for much less and brings the new software features.

A great phone with a flawless display, excellent cameras and strong AI, though the Tensor G6 and battery trail rivals.

A compact, comfortable and capable phone the reviewer grew to love over a month, with minor gripes about heat, charging speed and not much change from the Pixel 10.

A slick, strong all-rounder and the value sweet spot of the lineup, though only a slight improvement over the Pixel 10.

A compact, user-friendly flagship and a very good all-rounder whose extra storage and faster wireless charging soften the price rise, though it is similar to the Pixel 10.

A competent Pixel with clean software and good cameras, but a steep price rise for modest gains in performance, battery and display.

A solid phone with smarter AI and handy camera tools, but near-identical hardware to the Pixel 10 makes the $100 price hike hard to justify.

Calls the Pixel 11 the best Android phone for most people thanks to strong low-light photography, good battery life and a polished design, though it is a modest update with a price increase.
