Every model has 12GB of RAM, with 256GB or 512GB of storage. The phone launched with Android 17 and gets seven years of OS, security and Pixel Drop updates.

The 48MP wide camera has an f/1.70 aperture and Macro Focus. A 13MP ultrawide covers a 120-degree view. The 10.8MP telephoto offers 5x optical zoom with stabilisation, and Super Zoom reaches 30x.

Connectivity

The Pixel 11 supports 5G, including bands n77 and n78. It also has Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 6.0 and NFC, with a USB-C 3.2 port. SIM support is dual eSIM, so there is no physical SIM tray. If you are new to it, read our guide on what an eSIM is.

Tips for new owners

Set up your eSIM before switching phones, because there is no SIM tray. Turn on Satellite SOS and Car Crash Detection in the safety settings. Try the 5x telephoto for portraits, and Macro Focus for close-ups. Use a 30W or faster charger for the quoted fast-charging speed. Finally, install each Pixel Drop to get new features over the seven-year support period.

What to check before you buy

Before buying, confirm that your network supports eSIM, because the phone has no physical SIM slot. Google does not sell Pixel phones officially in Nigeria, so imported units may lack local warranty. Check that the phone is genuine and not carrier-locked. Choose 512GB if you shoot lots of 4K video.

How it compares

Compared with the Pixel 11 Pro, the standard Pixel 11 has a lower-resolution 120Hz screen, smaller camera sensors and a 10.8MP telephoto instead of 48MP. However, it costs $200 less and keeps the Tensor G6 chip, 5x zoom and seven years of updates.
