Google launches the Pixel 11 in India, featuring AI enhancements, improved battery life, and the new Tensor G6 chipset, with prices starting at Rs 89,999 and multiple discount options available.
Google has brought the Pixel 11 to India, positioning the handset as a familiar but slightly sharpened update to its premium line. The phone goes on open sale from tomorrow and is priced at Rs 89,999, although Google is also offering bank discounts, exchange deals and trade-in schemes that could lower the effective cost by several thousand rupees.
The new model arrives in two storage configurations, both with 12GB of RAM. The 256GB version sits alongside a 512GB option, and Google says the larger model uses “zoned storage” to improve read and write performance. Buyers can choose from four finishes: Frost, Hibiscus, Pistachio and Obsidian.
Google is also leaning on battery and efficiency gains. The company says the Pixel 11 can last for more than 30 hours, an improvement on the Pixel 10, helped by a slightly larger battery and faster charging support through a 30W wired charger or a Qi2.2 wireless charger. As with most current premium phones, no charger is included in the box.
The main hardware change is the Tensor G6 chipset. Google claims the new CPU cores are up to 20 per cent more power efficient, with browsing up to 25 per cent faster and app loading up to 15 per cent quicker. The more important upgrade, according to Google, is in the TPU block used for AI functions, which the company says is up to 50 per cent more capable. The phone also includes a new M3 security chip with post-quantum cryptography support.
AI features remain central to the Pixel pitch. Among the additions is a voice-to-text system that can strip out filler sounds such as “umm” and “hmmm” during dictation. Circle to Search has also been extended so it now works inside the camera app before a photo is taken, letting users identify objects directly from the live view.
The camera layout itself is broadly unchanged from the Pixel 10. Google is using a 48-megapixel main sensor, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide camera, an 11-megapixel telephoto unit with 5x optical zoom and a 10.5-megapixel front camera. The company says the new chip enables up to 30x optical zoom quality, despite the near-identical hardware. Design-wise, the Pixel 11 keeps the same understated formula, with a 6.3-inch display and the familiar horizontal camera bar.
