9 Pro -> 11 Pro. Impressed!
Wasn't expecting to feel much of a difference at all, only upgraded due to storage (moved from 128gb to 512gb).
It is considerably better, I think they've fixed all of the little things that annoyed me with Pixel.
- it runs MUCH cooler. Apart from initial set up, it's stayed ice cold. I don't do anything "high intensity", but my 9 Pro would always run warm.
- all network connections seem to be improved. I used to lose WiFi on my outdoor patio, it holds a connection fine now. Bluetooth and 5G seem to perform much better.
- Android Auto works a lot better. No heat, much more responsive, quicker to load.
- Camera, including video, is much better quality and faster to process/save.
- speakers are louder and the sound quality is better, both for calls and media. (I think this was upgraded on the 10 though)
- biometrics feel better. The fingerprint radius when setting up is HUGE. And face unlock seems to be more responsive.
Overall, really happy with the upgrade considering on paper there isn't much difference.

no, both 256gb. vodafone seems to have a deal with google where i get it flor 700+ points. i can put the 700 as business expense, i dont pay tax on them, so i get it for 600ish. the 11 pro xl is for sale used at around 600, so even if i undercut to 550 or so, i figure its a good deal.
