The frost color scheme is nice, but it’s no pistachio or hibiscus. | Photo: Cameron Faulkner / The Verge It'd be easy to overlook the Pixel 11. Want the best cameras? The Pixel 11 Pro is your answer. Want the best bargain? The Pixel 10A is still a great deal. But the Pixel 11 might be the sweet spot in Google's lineup this year. With 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, it delivers the same performance as the base Pixel 11 Pro for $899 - $200 less. And while it's $400 more than the Pixel 10A, it

Next month, Apple is expected to enter the market with a foldable iPhone that, rumor h

The Pixel 11 Pro is a great phone, no thanks to its flashiest new features

Google is trying to get you off your phone. The Pixel 11 Pro is "A Phone Designed to Help You Use It Less," the company promises. It can proactively help you book restaurant reservations, take the best frames from a video, and help you voice-text significantly faster. The pitch is that the new features bundled with the Pixel 11 series of phones can help fix your relationship with technology - one that Google knows has badly degraded in recent years. But the hardware of the Pixel 11 Pro and 11 Pr
