Summary
$1,299 buys Google’s largest 2026 Pixel yet—a 226g Pixel 11 Pro XL with a 6.8-inch 120Hz OLED, Tensor G6 chip and at least 256GB of storage.
Two-day battery life is the phone’s main upgrade over the smaller 11 Pro, while the triple rear camera adds a Night Sight mode that captures low-light shots three to four times faster.
Google kept Android 17 support through August 2033 and bundles six months of Google AI Pro, including Gemini Omni, higher AI limits and 5TB of cloud storage.
The trade-off is price and performance: the XL costs £1,279—£80 more than last year—while still trailing top rivals such as Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra in raw power and some battery benchmarks.
