Buying call

Buy the Pixel 11 if you want Google's camera software and a real 5x telephoto without paying for the Pro: it lists at $899, and the Google Store took $100 off unlocked models through Oct 11 (Oct 8, 2026). You get Tensor G6, a new 48MP main sensor, a 4,985 mAh battery and Qi2.2 magnetic charging. Skip it if you crop into zoom shots or shoot 8K: the telephoto is 10.8MP and the ultrawide 13MP, against 48MP on the Pro. Budget buyers should get the Pixel 10a, $524 at the Google Store (Oct 8, 2026), which has the same seven-year update promise.
