Google Pixel 11 Pro Review: Strong Phone Despite Underwhelming Hardware Upgrades

Google has launched the Pixel 11 Pro and 11 Pro XL, marketing them as phones designed to help users reduce screen time. The devices come with new AI-driven software features, including automated restaurant bookings, smart video frame selection, and faster voice-to-text capabilities. However, the hardware design remains largely unchanged from last year's models, with at least one aspect considered a downgrade. Reviewers note that the software enhancements are essentially the entire selling point, given the minimal physical improvements. Google is positioning these features as a way to repair users' strained relationship with technology.
