Don’t buy a Pixel 11 if you already have a Pixel 10, Android Authority advises

Android Authority says the Pixel 11’s modest upgrades and high upgrade cost make it a poor buy for Pixel 10 owners.

The biggest deterrent is cost. The resale value of a Pixel 10 is currently around $400, meaning a Pixel 10 owner would still need to pay roughly $500 to move to the Pixel 11. Android Authority argues that this is a large expense for a phone that feels familiar and does not deliver a massive performance or feature jump.

The Tensor G6, according to the publication’s tests, brings a seven-core CPU and a PowerVR C-series GPU, with CPU efficiency reportedly up 20% and a TPU with 50% more computing power. Still, Android Authority calls it a modest update, with GPU performance similar to or possibly a mild sidegrade over last year’s model.

Camera hardware changes are also incremental. The Pixel 11 keeps a 48MP main camera but uses a new 1/1.56-inch sensor that should improve light sensitivity by about 56%. More notable are software features like Camera Looks, which lets users customize photo profiles, and Magic Capture, which captures a short 1080p video and selects the best five frames as 12MP HDR+ photos. The publication notes that most or all of these software-focused camera features will likely eventually come to older Pixel models, including the Pixel 10.

New AI features on the Pixel 11 include Creator Suite, an AI-centered mode with a teleprompter, storyboard, and pro-level stabilization. Android Authority says these are nice additions but not game changers, especially since many Pixel features typically trickle down to older devices over time.

The Pixel 10 still has a long life ahead, with Google promising seven years of OS updates and bug fixes, and it is only one year into that support window. For these reasons, Android Authority concludes that Pixel 10 owners should not rush to buy the Pixel 11.
