Google Pixel 11 vs Google Pixel 11 Pro XL

Our Verdict: The clearest split between Google Pixel 11 and Google Pixel 11 Pro XL is display quality against portability. For the Pro XL, that means a larger 6.8-inch screen, a sharper 482 PPI display, and its LTPO OLED panel. The regular 11 is easier to recommend for its OLED panel and a lighter 197g body. Go with the Pro XL for display quality; lean toward the regular 11 if portability is higher on your list.

The 11 is the cheaper one to own: around £778 over a typical contract, £170 less than the Pro XL.
