Pixel 11: Google's Lazy Upgrade?
14 Aug
Summary
- Pixel 11 hardware offers minimal upgrades over previous models.
- Camera hardware remains largely unchanged, with minor sensor improvements.
- Software and AI features in Pixel 11 feel uninspired and limited.
Google's latest Pixel 11 series has been met with criticism, labeled as an incredibly lazy upgrade. While the design sees minor tweaks, the hardware offers largely incremental improvements, featuring the Tensor G6 and brighter displays. Base storage increases to 256GB, and wireless charging sees a slight boost to 25W.
Camera hardware on the Pixel 11 series appears very similar to previous models, with slight improvements to ultrawide and telephoto sensors for better low-light capture. However, the main lens sensor is larger, though overall camera innovation is lacking. Notably, some Pro models experience a RAM downgrade.
Software and AI features, typically a Pixel strength, are also deemed disappointing this year due to their limited number. While advancements like Rambler and Gemini Omni are mentioned, they don't appear to be significant leaps. Android 17 also seems to lack noteworthy changes.
