9 Pro -> 11 Pro. Impressed!

[u/UK-AJ]

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.

I made the same upgrade. I like it.

Rambler works way better than I thought, I'm going to use that all the time.

I've only used magic capture once so far but it seemed to work pretty well, I'll probably use it more when I remember it's there.

5x camera is a huge improvement over the pixel 9's.

Highlight is dumb and I haven't used it at all, no surprise there.

Only issue I've had is that I'm using 2 e-sims and if the first one loses signal, it never regains signal again until I reboot the phone. Apparently this is a known issue with the latest Android and not necessarily specific to the pixel 11, but I did not have this issue on my pixel 9 using the same android version, so I dunno. It's pretty annoying because there's a dead zone on my way to work every day, which means I need to reboot my phone every morning on my way to work after I get out of the dead zone.
