Google has just unveiled the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, the latest in the company’s flagship phone line. We’ve done some deep dives into the three devices and shared how much they will cost, along with other devices in the Google lineup. Anywho, here is a detailed look at their specs to see how the new devices compare to their predecessors.
Let’s start off with the mainline Pixel 11. There aren’t many main differences between it and the Pixel 10. The same 6.3-inch Actua OLED display is used for both screens. However, the main change is under the hood. The Pixel 11 gets the new Tensor G6, however RAM and storage remain the same (though the Pixel 11 starts at 256GB). Same story with the camera hardware, though there is one tiny difference: the main camera on the Pixel 11 has a slightly wider field of view at 85 degrees.
The battery also gets a decent boost compared to the Pixel 10, now at 4,985mAh, up from the 4,970mAh the 10 got.
In terms of the device’s size, the device actually is a bit larger than the Pixel 10, however, the dimension change isn’t major. Interestingly, the Pixel 11 is significantly lighter than the Pixel 10, going from 204g to 197g.

Let’s now shift to the Pro models.
Similar to the mainline devices, the Pro models don’t get a major screen bump, and they retain the same 6.3-inch Actua OLED screen with the same 1-120Hz refresh rate. The Pro also gets an upgrade to the Tensor G6 chip. Interestingly, the Pixel 11 Pro comes with either 12GB or 16GB of RAM, compared to the Pixel 10, which came with only 16GB. In terms of storage, the 128GB option is no longer available, and the only options are 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB.
Like the standard Pixel 11, the size also changes slightly compared to its predecessor, and the device went from 207g to 204g with the 11 Pro.
Although not much changes with the camera, the newest feature is that the previous LED-based flash has been replaced with what’s known as HiLight — an array of ambient LED lights built around the camera’s flash — a modern take on the notification light from the BlackBerry days.
Interestingly, the battery takes a bit of a drop compared to the 10 Pro, with the new battery at 4,850mAh instead of the previous 4,870mAh.
It’s a similar story with the Pro XL models: the Tensor chip is upgraded, a 12GB RAM option was added, there are tiny dimensional changes, the new device is lighter (232g to 226g), and the battery does lose a bit of capacity (5,200mAh from 5,115mAh).

Let’s move on to something, shall we say, foldable.
Once again, the changes are extremely similar to the rest of the Pixel line, with the Tensor G6 heading to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. However, unlike the rest of the Pro line, the standard is still 16GB of RAM, and there were no storage changes. Interestingly, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold’s screen size differs from the Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s, but mainly in height. The battery also took a significant hit, going from 5,015mAh to 4,750mAh.
Other features (outside of those listed) remained the same as the previous smartphones.
