It’d be easy to overlook the Pixel 11. Want the best cameras? The Pixel 11 Pro is your answer. Want the best bargain? The Pixel 10A is still a great deal.
But the Pixel 11 might be the sweet spot in Google’s lineup this year. With 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, it delivers the same performance as the base Pixel 11 Pro for $899 — $200 less. And while it’s $400 more than the Pixel 10A, it has a faster processor, more RAM and storage, Qi2 charging, and a telephoto lens.
