Google Pixel 11 Insights: Previously Known Details and Desired Features Revealed

Google's upcoming Pixel 11 smartphones are generating a lot of buzz, with rumours suggesting that it will be a significant leap forward for the tech giant.

The Pixel 11 is expected to be equipped with the Tensor G6 processor, a notable upgrade from the Tensor G5. According to reports, the Tensor G6 will switch to a 2nm manufacturing process for improved performance. This processor is also rumoured to include health-related features for breathing, sleep apnea, gait analysis, and more.

One of the most anticipated improvements in the Pixel 11 is the expected enhancement in video recording quality. Unlike its predecessor, the Pixel 11 is hoped to improve video recording quality natively without the need for cloud processing.

Google could also improve battery life on Pixel phones with the adoption of silicon-carbon battery tech. This technology promises longer-lasting batteries, which would be a welcome addition for many users.

The Pixel 11 is expected to be a major release for Google, marking a decade of Pixel phones. In line with this, Google aims to give Pixels a design refresh every 2-3 years. According to Pixel's chief designer Ivy Ross, the Pixel 11 will feature a completely new design, diverging significantly from the Pixel 10's look that has been consistent for about five years.

In terms of charging, the Pixel 11 is hoped to feature much faster charging for smaller models. The Pixel 10 Pro XL, for instance, is the fastest-charging Google phone ever, supporting 39W speeds with a cable and 25W wirelessly. Full support for magnetic Qi2.2 chargers on the Pixel 10 Pro XL ensures compatibility with accessories and chargers for years.

However, the Pixel 11's new design may come at a cost. The U.S. models of the Pixel 11 are expected to lack a physical SIM tray, similar to the Pixel 10. This is due to the placement of the mmWave component, which takes up space traditionally occupied by the SIM tray.

The Pixel 11 is expected to compete with phones like OnePlus 13 and Honor Magic 7 Pro, which offer high PWM rates. This could be a challenge for Google, as the Pixel 10's new accessibility feature for PWM-sensitive users is considered insufficient, needing rates in the thousands of hertz.

Lastly, the Tensor G6 is said to be capable of generating video using AI algorithms. If this proves to be true, it could set the Pixel 11 apart from its competitors and solidify its position as a leader in the smartphone market.

As we await the official announcement, the anticipation for the Pixel 11 continues to grow. With its expected improvements in performance, design, and features, the Pixel 11 is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the smartphone world.
