The bigger problem is that this kind of proactive assistance is largely available in the Messages app, which, unfortunately, is <em>not<\/em> my default messaging mode. When this becomes a system-wide capability that works in every app, I can see its utility.<\/p>\n<p>Google has made some overall tweaks throughout the Pixel&#8217;s interface that I think give it a stronger, more unique design language. I also do want to call out that these are still the only major Android phones with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/what-is-qi2-wireless-charging\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">built-in Qi2 magnets<\/a>\u2014aka the magnetic back like MagSafe on the iPhone.

(The only difference between the pair is battery life and screen size.) I averaged four hours of screen-on time before the Pixel 11 Pro XL hit 20 percent, and roughly the same on the Pixel 11 Pro. Granted, I was downloading data over cellular, using Google Maps, and taking a lot of photos. I think average users will find it sufficient for a full day, but power users will undoubtedly need a top-up.

Yes, there are AI-generated pixels (anything past 30X zoom) filling in the gaps, which will be a nonstarter for many, but look how far away I am! It&#8217;s actually quite a struggle to capture photos at that high level of zoom because the camera gets very shaky.
