A great phone thanks to focused tools like voice dictation and strong cameras, while its flashy headline features fall short.

What do critics say about the Google Pixel 11 Pro?
Trusted Reviews80
Lovely design and a good camera, but poor gaming, slow charging, a gimmicky light and little RAM at a high price.
Digital Trends80
The compact Pixel the reviewer would buy, with versatile cameras and handy AI tools, despite weak gaming, adequate battery and a high price.
TechRadar80
More of the same but still a fine phone, with strong cameras, Gemini integration and full-day battery.
Tech Advisor70
A technical marvel with superb cameras but hampered by software bugs, middling battery and a pointless headline feature, making it a tough sell at a higher price.
