Google Pixel 11 Pro

Pixel 11 Pro or Pro XL: size, battery and charging

Google makes the Pro in two sizes with the same cameras, the same Tensor G6 chip, HiLight and Pixelsnap. They split on screen size, battery and wired charging:

Spec	Pixel 11 Pro	Pixel 11 Pro XL
Screen	6.3-inch	6.8-inch
Battery	4,850 mAh typical, 4,707 mAh minimum	5,115 mAh typical, 5,000 mAh minimum
Battery life	30+ hours	30+ hours
Wired charging	About 55% in 30 minutes on a 30W PPS charger	About 75% in 30 minutes on a 45W PPS charger
Wireless charging	Pixelsnap Qi2.2, up to 25W	Pixelsnap Qi2.2, up to 25W
US launch price	$1,099	$1,299

Google rates both for 30+ hours, so the XL’s bigger battery doesn’t come with a longer official rating. The clearer gap is charging: on a 45W charger the XL gets to about 75% in half an hour, where the Pro reaches about 55% on 30W. If you top up in short bursts, that matters more than the capacity. If you’d rather have the smaller phone, you give up nothing on the cameras. Pixel 11 Pro vs Pixel 11 Pro XL goes through the rest.

The third choice is Pixel 11 Pro Fold, with a 6.5-inch cover screen that opens to an 8-inch one. Pixel 11 Pro vs Pixel 11 Pro Fold weighs the two.

Cameras and zoom

Camera	Pixel 11 Pro
Main	50MP Octa PD, ƒ/1.68, 82°, 1/1.3” sensor
Ultrawide	48MP Quad PD, ƒ/1.7, 123°, 1/2.51” sensor, macro focus
Telephoto	48MP Quad PD, 5x optical, ƒ/2.8, 23°, 1/1.95” sensor, OIS
Zoom	Optical quality at 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x and 10x; Pro Zoom up to 120x
Front	42MP Dual PD with autofocus, ƒ/2.2, 103°
Video	8K at 24 or 30 fps with Video Boost; 4K at up to 60 fps; Super Zoom Video up to 20x

Zoom is the headline. The 5x telephoto has a 1/1.95-inch sensor with optical stabilization, Google rates everything up to 10x as optical quality, and Pro Zoom reaches 120x. Video Boost handles 8K at 24 or 30 fps; the rear cameras shoot 4K at up to 60 fps with 10-bit HDR, and slow motion runs up to 240 fps.

On the software side you get Camera Coach, Add Me, Best Take, Magic Eraser, Instant Night Sight, 50MP High-Res Portrait, Real Tone, Pro controls and Edit with Ask Photos.

Screen and build

The 6.3-inch Super Actua screen is 1280 × 2856 pixels at 495 ppi and runs from 1 to 120Hz. Google rates it for 2,400 nits with HDR and 3,600 nits peak, and calls it its brightest Super Actua screen yet.

Gorilla Glass Victus 2 covers the front and the silky matte back. Google says a new anti-scratch coating more than doubles scratch resistance over Pixel 10, on top of the drop-resistant design it introduced with Pixel 9. It calls these its most durable Pro phones yet. The frame is aluminum (matte on Obsidian), and the phone is rated IP68 for dust and water.

It measures 152.7 × 71.9 × 8.4 millimeters and weighs 204 grams. Google says it slimmed the camera bar by 40% across the Pixel 11 series. The colors are Canyon, Olive, Fog and matte Obsidian.

Gemini, HiLight and updates

Pixel 11 Pro launched on Android 17 and gets 7 years of OS, security and Pixel Drop updates. Gemini runs through the phone: Gemini Nano on the device, Gemini Live, the Gemini apps and Gemini Intelligence, plus Circle to Search, Live Translate and Call Assist.

HiLight is the new hardware trick. Leave the phone face down and the LEDs around the camera flash show when Gemini is listening, thinking or responding, or who’s calling, by a color you assign.

Security runs on the Titan M3 chip and Tensor’s security core, with what Google calls quantum-safe secure boot in hardware. VPN by Google is included; on older Pixels, Google limited it by region.

Coming from a Pixel 9 Pro

Pixel 9 Pro had the same 50, 48 and 48-megapixel camera lineup, so the upgrade is in zoom, battery, charging and software rather than a new camera system:

Spec	Pixel 11 Pro	Pixel 9 Pro
Telephoto sensor	1/1.95”	1/2.55”
Zoom	Pro Zoom up to 120x	Super Res Zoom up to 30x
Battery	4,850 mAh typical	4,700 mAh typical
Battery life	30+ hours	24+ hours
Wired charging	About 55% in 30 minutes on a 30W charger	Up to 27W
Wireless charging	Pixelsnap Qi2.2, up to 25W	Up to 21W on Pixel Stand (2nd gen)
Security chip	Titan M3	Titan M2
Launch software	Android 17	Android 14
SIM	Dual eSIM	Nano-SIM and eSIM

The telephoto is the camera reason to upgrade: a larger sensor and four times the maximum zoom. Google’s battery rating rises from 24+ to 30+ hours, and Pixelsnap adds Qi2.2 at up to 25W. Plan for the SIM change, though: your nano-SIM won’t fit, so you’ll need an eSIM from your carrier.

Price and storage

Pixel 11 Pro starts at $1,099 in the US, between Pixel 11 at $899 and Pixel 11 Pro XL at $1,299; Google announced all three on 12 August 2026. The starting price buys 256GB with 12GB of RAM. The 512GB and 1TB models use Zoned UFS storage and come with 16GB. In the US, the models are G7SWN and GBC0H, both with mmWave 5G. Google Store prices and trade-in offers change often, so check them before you buy.

Shopping against an iPhone? Pixel 11 Pro vs iPhone 17 Pro lines the two up.
