Breakdown: what’s new with the Google Pixel 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro XL and 11 Pro Fold?

• Google Tensor G6 processor
• HiLight on Google Pixel 11 Pro, Google Pixel Pro XL and Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold
• Gemini Intelligence⁽¹⁾

Google's latest generation of smartphones improves upon the Google Pixel's gorgeous minimalism and epic performance, with some new neat tricks such as HiLight on the Google Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the introduction of Gemini Intelligence⁽¹⁾.

Across all four models, glass now spans the entire camera bar, with epic camera performance from the base model Google Pixel 11 to the flexible Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

All Google Pixel 11 models have received an exciting new range of colours, now with Gemini Intelligence⁽¹⁾, Google’s latest innovation in the mobile AI space.

Gemini Intelligence⁽¹⁾ helps you on the go by proactively anticipating your needs. For example, if a friend texts to ask if you're free for lunch on Thursday, Gemini Intelligence will recognise this and offer to check your schedule, tell you if you're free, and add the lunch to your diary. It's also useful for things like taking a picture of a notice board of events – Gemini Intelligence will recognise events and timings, and simply ask if you want to 'add to calendar'.

Gemini Intelligence also utilises Google’s Nano Banana model for on-device image generation, letting you quickly create ready to go images, such as if you need a ready to go beach-themed birthday poster in seconds.

Specific to the Google Pixel 11 Pro, Google Pixel 11 Pro XL and Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold is HiLight, a handy light on the camera bar. When your phone is placed face-down, HiLight will glow when your phone receives incoming calls from priority contacts. It'll also glow when you're interacting with Gemini, with colours changing depending on if the AI is listening, processing, responding, or engaging with you. HiLight keeps you connected without needing to look at your screen.

The Google Pixel 11 series of phones have brilliant camera performance, and this year Google has introduced an all-new ‘Magic Capture’ feature. With Magic Capture, the phone captures photos when you record videos, and automatically edits, crops, and unblurs a curated collection, ready to share, making it easier than ever to save unforgettable memories.

Let's get into the spec differences between the Google Pixel 11 series and Google Pixel 10 series of phones to help you decide what phone you should buy.
