Google Pixel 11 Pro features

Google Pixel 11 Pro design
The Pixel 11 Pro isn't too different from last year's model design-wise, holding firm with a 6.3-inch display protected with Gorilla Glass Victus 2. Google says scratch resistance has been improved, and the panel is brighter.
In addition, the camera bar has gotten a literal glow-up. It is now glass across the entire width, and features a notification light called "HiLight". Contacts can be assigned custom colours to provide a visual cue for who is calling.
The Pixel 11 Pro is available in a choice of Obsidian, Fog, Olive, and Canyoo.
Google Pixel 11 Pro camera
The Pixel 11 Pro features new primary and 5x zoom lenses. Both are still 50MP and 48MP respectively, but the zoom lens has a larger sensor backing it, which should in turn increase photo quality. These are paired with the same 48MP ultra-wide camera and 42MP selfie camera from last year's model.
Google Pixel 11 Pro battery
The Pixel 11 Pro has a 4,850mAh battery, which is similar to last year's model. Google says the Pixel 11 Pro will last up to 30 hours per charge. The Pixel 11 Pro has faster wireless charging, with 25W speeds, up from 15W on the Pixel 10 Pro.
Google Pixel 11 Pro processor
The Pixel 11 Pro is powered by Google's new Tensor G6 chipset. Google says the processor delivers 25% faster web browsing and 15% faster app loading.
Google Pixel 11 Pro software updates
Google says the Pixel 11 Pro will get seven years of major operating system upgrades and seven years of security updates. This is a best-in-class promise for an Android device. As such, we're expecting Android 23 to be the last version of Android the Pixel 11 Pro will be upgraded to.
Google Pixel 11 Pro 5G
The Pixel 11 Pro naturally has 5G connectivity. WhistleOut's coverage checker tool has 5G coverage maps, making it easy to see whether you can get 5G. All you need to do is pop in your address when searching for a new phone plan. After you've done so and hit Search, you can jump straight to the coverage map by tapping See Coverage Map and then tapping Click To Activate Interactive Map.
This map will show you what kind of coverage you have in your area. 5G coverage is highlighted using the darkest shade of purple, but unticking 4G can help make it clearer. The drop-down menu lets you choose between telcos.
Coverage maps are only approximate, only show outdoor coverage, and may be impacted by local conditions such as buildings.

Google Pixel 11 Pro plan providers
Telstra and Optus are both ranging the Pixel 11 Pro. Here's a breakdown of the major benefits you can expect each provider to offer.
Telstra Pixel 11 Pro plans
Telstra Pixel plans are often the priciest on the Australian market, but they do come with a host of perks.
Telstra lets you pay your Pixel off over 12, 24, or 36 months, and all plans are free from excess data charges. If you go over your cap, your data will simply be slowed to speeds of 1.5Mbps, which is still fast enough to stream video in SD. But speeds may be slower during peak times.
Telstra still has Australia's largest mobile network, covering over 2.14 million square kilometres. In addition, Telstra has a partnership with Starlink operator SpaceX, allowing you to send text messages via satellite when mobile coverage is unavailable. A clear view of the sky is needed for this.
Telstra is the only telco in Australia to still have a rewards program. As a customer, you earn points for every dollar spent with Telstra, which can then be redeemed for discounts on new tech.
Optus Pixel 11 Pro plans
- Discounted access to streaming services through SubHub
- $5 for 5GB of roaming data when overseas
Optus Pixel plans come with solid data inclusions.
Higher-end Optus plans also come with unlimited international calls to selected destinations included with the plan.
All Optus plans are contract-free, and devices can be paid off across 12, 24, or 36 months.
In addition, all Optus postpaid plans are free from excess data charges. If you go over your allowance, you'll be slowed to 1.5Mbps rather than being billed $10 per gigabyte.
How to choose the best Google Pixel 11 Pro plan for you
There are a few key factors to keep in mind when picking a Pixel 11 Pro plan:
- Answering "how much mobile data do I use" can help you avoid overspending. Don't pay for more data than you need
- Decide whether you want to pay off your phone shorter on a 24-month plan or get a smaller bill over a longer period of time on a 36-month plan
- If you're a frequent overseas traveller, consider any international roaming inclusions
- You may also want to make international phone calls so check if the destinations you may be calling are included in your plan
