Google Unveils Pixel 11 Series With Tensor G6, New Cameras
Google has new phones called the Pixel 11 family.
There are four phones: the regular Pixel 11, two bigger Pro versions, and one that folds in half like a book.
All of them have a new super-fast brain inside called Tensor G6.
They can take really good pictures, and the fanciest ones can zoom in 120 times.
Some have a special little light that glows when someone you love calls or when you talk to the phone's helper.
The cameras can take pictures in dark places quickly, and one new trick captures photos and videos together with a single tap.
The phones are protected from water and dust, and the foldable one is extra strong.
The batteries last more than a whole day.
People can buy them starting on August 20.
Google unveiled four new phones — Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold — all powered by the Tensor G6 chipset with IP68 protection.
The Pixel 11 starts at USD 899 with 256GB storage and 12GB RAM, a USD 100 price increase over the Pixel 10, and launches on August 20.
The Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL feature the HiLight LED in the camera bar, 3,600-nit displays, and a 48MP telephoto with up to 120x Pro Zoom.
The Pixel 11 Pro Fold has the thinnest bezels ever on a Fold, is claimed to be three times as durable as last year's model, and starts at USD 1,899.
New camera features include Magic Capture and Instant Night Sight; Pixel 11 India pricing starts at Rs 89,999.
