Buying call

Buy the Pixel 11 Pro XL if you want Google's best camera and AI on a big, very bright screen: a 6.8-inch LTPO panel rated to 3,600 nits, Tensor G6, a 5,115 mAh battery, 25W Qi2.2 Pixelsnap charging and seven years of OS updates. It lasted 12 h 17 min in one web-browsing test. Skip it if price matters, since it lists from $1,299 for 256GB ($100 more than last year), though the Google Store took up to $250 off unlocked models through Oct 11 (Oct 8, 2026). It's also 226 g and eSIM-only in the US.
