Google Pixel 11/Pro/Fold Impressions: It Is What It Is
Marques Brownlee reviews the 2026 Pixel 11, 11 Pro, and Pro Fold, finding incremental hardware upgrades, reduced specs in some areas, and prices up by $100–$200 across the lineup.
The gist
-
The base Pixel 11 is the only model Brownlee recommends, with a 48MP sensor, 256GB storage, and 25W wireless charging at $900.
-
Google cut RAM in the Pixel 11 Pro from 16GB to 12GB year-over-year while raising the starting price to $1,100.
-
The new Pixel Glow LED on the back is limited to Gemini voice commands and calls only, with no third-party app or notification support.
-
The Pixel 11 Pro Fold stays at $1,900 but still trails Samsung and Oppo on crease, bezels, and overall foldable design.
