Reviewing Google's Pixel 11 Pro after using as my full-time smartphone, from the camera features and everyday real battery life to the gaming chops and Android 17 experience. Here's my thoughts on the Pixel 11 Pro and how it compares vs older Google handsets and the best phones of 2026.
Right now, frankly, this mobile feels like a work in progress. Quite a few of the new features or experiences seem to be either half-baked or buggy, from the new HiLight to those creator camera features. Here's how the Pixel 11 Pro has handled real life this past week, but I'll certainly be returning to it in a month or so to see if the situation has improved.
Gaming really surprised me on this phone, as I tested out Call of Duty, Wuthering Waves and Genshin Impact. You can see more on how all of that went in a separate video, as there's a lot to say!
The Pixel 11 Pro boasts a fresh set of camera hardware vs the regular Pixel 11, including an upgraded telephoto shooter. Here's what I thought of the optics this past week, with a load of photo and video samples and a closer look at the creator mode features.
So that's what I think of the Pixel 11 Pro right now, let us know your own thoughts below!
