Google Pixel 11 Pro XL
Google Pixel 11 Pro XL is the large-screen flagship in the 2026 Pixel range, pairing a 6.8-inch LTPO OLED with the Pro camera system and the family's largest conventional-phone battery. It starts at $1,299 for 12 GB of memory and 256 GB of storage, with 16 GB reserved for higher storage tiers.
Buying verdict
Choose Pixel 11 Pro XL when screen size, faster charging, and the best non-folding Pixel battery matter more than one-handed comfort. Pixel 11 Pro delivers the same core camera experience in a smaller body for $200 less at launch.
