I spent a week testing the Google Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL, and they're harder to recommend despite some fun new Gemini features

The back of the olive green Google Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL next to each other.

Every year, buying a Pixel feels a little bit like making a deal with Darth Vader. What started as an incredible-sounding concept slowly became less desirable. Even when something gets better, something else seems to get worse. I can almost hear Google telling me to pray it doesn't alter the deal any further.

Case in point: the Google Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL. This year, you'll get less base RAM, a slightly smaller battery, and a GPU that's still not particularly capable. But you'll also get amazing new features like Magic Capture, Creator suite, instant Night Sight, live translation for videos, and the new Rambler voice keyboard.
