Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google.A lot remains the same between the Google Pixel 9 and the new , including the 6.3-inch form factor and the 12GB of RAM. However, the brand new Google Pixel 11 features double the base storage and two generations of processor improvements. With the addition of the Google Tensor G6, the Pixel 11 represents a considerable upgrade in processing efficiency and CPU performance.

Instead of the incremental camera upgrades we tend to see in phone launches, the Pixel 11 features a substantial resolution reduction: from 48MP in the Pixel 9 to 13MP on its ultrawide camera.

The telephoto lens is a dedicated zoom lens for capturing clear images of distant objects. This is the first time we've seen a telephoto camera on a base-model Pixel. Looking into how Google made the upgrades to the new Pixel 11, it appears the company used lower-resolution wide and ultrawide sensors to make room for a telephoto option, potentially to avoid pushing the Pixel 11 into Pro territory and increasing its price. The main camera went from 50MP to 48MP, which isn't necessarily a substantial enough change to meaningfully affect image quality, especially when you consider that aperture, pixel size, and image processing are much more important than a 2-megapixel difference.The new Pixel 11 also features upgraded computational video features, including major improvements in ultra-low-light video and 4K cinematic blur. Is the price increase worth it?Like many other consumer tech companies, Google is raising the price of its smartphones. The 2026 Google Pixel base model will sell for $100 more than the previous generation, now starting at instead of $799. You'll pay more, but you'll also get twice the base storage with the new Google Pixel 11. It starts at 256GB of storage and 12 GB of RAM, compared to the Pixel 9's 128GB of storage for $799. Also: This new Google product flew under the radar - but you can bet Apple took noteWriter's choiceAll in all, we're not seeing a big redesign with the Pixel 11. The similarities may outweigh the differences between the two base model Google phones. However, the biggest and most noticeable difference will probably be the Tensor G6 performance, which could make the phone substantially faster while running cooler and potentially lasting longer. Also, the addition of a telephoto camera could offer a different photo experience. Taken together, these could offer a compelling reason to upgrade if your phone feels sluggish, or has taken a beating over the last two years.
