Pixel 11 Pro Delivers 3.5-Hour Battery Gain but Struggles to Justify €330 Premium

Summary
€1,100 buys the Pixel 11 Pro with 256GB, versus €770 for the Pixel 10 Pro at 128GB, and the review concludes the newer model’s upgrades are too incremental for most buyers.
3:33 hours of extra battery life is the clearest win for the 11 Pro, which also posts roughly 20% CPU gains from Tensor G6 and adds 25W wireless charging, while wired charging stays effectively unchanged.
6.3-inch displays, IP68 protection, design and most camera performance remain broadly similar, with brightness gains too small to notice and video quality ending in a tie apart from 4K60 HDR support on the 11 Pro.
Low-light ultrawide photos are a notable setback for the 11 Pro, while its GPU is only about on par with the 10 Pro and the base model drops to 12GB RAM from the older phone’s 16GB.
For buyers weighing value over marginal improvements, the cheaper Pixel 10 Pro is presented as the smarter pick unless features like 4K60 HDR video specifically matter.
