Google has officially launched the Pixel 11, bringing the new Tensor G6 chipset, 256GB base storage, a larger 48MP main camera sensor, and faster charging while keeping the compact 6.3-inch design.
The Pixel 11 continues to sit between Google’s standard and Pro models, sharing the same Tensor G6 platform as the Pro lineup but using a simpler display and less advanced camera hardware.

Tensor G6 moves to 2nm
The biggest upgrade is Google’s Tensor G6, which powers both the standard Pixel 11 and its Pro siblings.
It is the second Google Tensor chip manufactured by TSMC and the first smartphone processor built using TSMC’s 2nm process.
Google is focusing heavily on power efficiency with the new chip while also promising performance improvements.
The Pixel 11 comes with 12GB of RAM, while base storage has doubled from 128GB on the Pixel 10 to 256GB.
The storage upgrade also moves the phone away from the older UFS 3.1 standard.
The 6.3-inch display stays familiar
Google keeps the Pixel 11’s compact 6.3-inch form factor.
The phone uses another 1080p+ LTPS OLED panel, meaning Google has once again skipped an upgrade to the more advanced LTPO display technology found on higher-end models.
Slightly larger battery, faster charging
The Pixel 11 packs a 4,985mAh battery, only slightly larger than the Pixel 10’s 4,970mAh cell.
Google says the improved efficiency of the Tensor G6 allows the phone to provide up to 30 hours of regular use.
Charging is also faster. Wireless charging through Pixelsnap chargers is 25% faster than on the Pixel 10, while wired charging can take the battery to 55% in 30 minutes.
Bigger main camera sensor
The Pixel 11 gets a larger main camera sensor than its predecessor.
The Pixel 10’s 1/2.0-inch main sensor is gone, replaced by a 48MP 1/1.56-inch sensor.
The phone also gets a 13MP ultra-wide camera with a 120-degree field of view and a 10.8MP 5x telephoto camera.
That dedicated telephoto camera gives the Pixel 11 an advantage over phones such as the iPhone 17, which uses a dual-camera setup.
The front camera remains a 10.5MP ultra-wide autofocus camera with a 95-degree field of view.
Google has also slimmed down the rear camera visor, making the camera bar less bulky.
Colors and pricing
The Pixel 11 comes in Frost, Hibiscus, Pistachio, and Obsidian.
Pricing starts at US$899 for the 12GB + 256GB model, while the 12GB + 512GB version costs US$1,019.
That’s roughly:
- 12GB + 256GB: ~₱50,900
- 12GB + 512GB: ~₱57,700
These are direct currency conversions and don’t include Philippine taxes, import costs, or retailer markups.
The Pixel 11 is currently available for pre-order, with open sales starting August 20.
Overall, Google isn’t reinventing the standard Pixel 11. Instead, the company is focusing on the parts that matter most: a new 2nm Tensor chip, more storage, a larger main camera sensor, better efficiency, and faster charging, while keeping the familiar compact design.
