Google's Pixel series has long struggled to gain significant traction in the US, and the upcoming Pixel 11 lineup may not do much to change that.

Rumors suggest that the base Pixel 11 could start at $899, while the Pixel 11 Pro XL could cost a hefty $1,300. That's the same price point as Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Pixel 11 pro xl's battery capacity reportedly shrinks

If the latest rumors prove true, the Pixel 11 Pro XL would feature a 5,115 mAh battery, a decrease from its predecessor's 5,200 mAh capacity.

Meanwhile, the standard Pixel 11 Pro would allegedly come with a 4,850 mAh battery, a drop from the Pixel 10 Pro's 4,870 mAh cell.

Google's emphasis on AI capabilities over raw power may not be enough to win over consumers who prioritize performance and battery life.

As the tech giant continues to hike prices, it risks alienating fans who may opt for rival offerings from Apple and Samsung.
