Discussion - I'm afraid the Pixel 11 could be the most disappointing flagship of 2026

Couldn't you write the same article about every flagship phone at this point? Google just has the unfortunate luck to be 1st in the upgrade cycle. I expect Samsung to do the same. The base and + models have been using the same camera config for years, rumor's are even saying the ultra is dropping the 3X zoom camera.

One thing different this year iz there is no performance leak this year. We might have to wait for reviews to figure out how tensor g6 performs

Aman is just bitter about the Pixels just to farm for clicks. He's been posting the same repetitive garbage for weeks now.

🤣 What's the matter Aman? Calling you out on your repetitive Pixel hit pieces got you upset?

First year I will not be getting a new one.

New sensors, new modem, new 2nm chipset, new algorithm for photos. Moan Arena moans again

Par for the course for Google, the worst OEM in smartphone history.

I checked all his pictures online. And in exactly every selfie he has posted he is using an iPhone. And in this article from may 2026 he says he's been using iPhone for the last two years...

He says he's music service is Apple Music. Unless you are a diehard fan of Apple - you would not pay for Apple services and then use a Google device.

In this article he complains about the Pixel 10...from top to bottom. And after all that writing about how bad it and Android in general is - he goes out and purchases it? Not likely.

Pixel glow is not only exciting it promises to be a one of a kind experience and it pays to be the premier device for Google this kind of technology debuts on.

Think of a concert setting at Mercedes Benz Arena instead of just white flash you can choose the color you want so it makes the drone images beautiful and super creative like the Coldplay song

"I want something just like this."

Ironically every phone manufacturer will follow suit and its a huge marketing tool having your logo glowing along side. A premium feature could be adding your own logo alongside the default icon. On the plus side people will know when you are taking videos now and be more aware of their behavior.

Make it a permafeature and locating your stolen phone will be super easy as engineers need to work on keeping phone thieves, data harvesters and identity thieves at bay by only allowing factory reset by front camera confirmation. I have always thought Google just needs to take what they done with chrome and its reliability and perfect it with their own AI software before releasing it out to the public. This includes nationwide testing complimentary devices not just for the reviews but for the standard workload and daily use test.

To be honest Google relies of software for enhancing the photo their Camera is one of the best to the point that out of envy rivals do not allow you to install it knowing that it would be your default choice. Think about it having the options to create the perfect photo and even use other existing phone technologies to compare live the differences is a great feature. Many people are tired of just seeing a white button and sliding left and right. In their defense if you want a higher MP buy a camera.
