  1. I think the performance of pixel chipset is so weak against a flagship, i don't know why the company do not want to use snapdrog's chipset. I love the design of pixel especially the camera style, but i cant accept a flagship with the garbage chipset

  2. 6:02 Samsung had that feature first, it's called single take and seems to be more versatile tjan pixels version from what I see in this video. You have to download camera assistant though since they removed it from the standard camera options with one of the last updates.

  3. Galaxy S26 Ultra and Pixel 11 Pro XL Both phones are amazing!!.. But if I choose one definitely I'll pick S26 Ultra! Because I'm a Diehard fan of Samsung's S and Note Series… 😉 ♡♡♡ ✨👀💙💫

  4. Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has only 5000 milliampere battery but still it's performance much better than other chinese brand smartphones. Its really surprising… I think its because of Samsung's excellent optimisation. I'm using Samsung products since 2014 and Samsung always impressed and amazed me with their amazing features and kindness… ✨💙💫

  5. Coming from Pixel 9 Pro XL to Pixel 11 Pro XL the biggest surprise is the amazing battery life. After 3 days of using the phone I had 54% battery left before bed on day 1. Only 3% lost overnight. The next day I charged to full in the morning and went to bed with 47% and the 3rd day I went to bed with 49% battery.

    I cannot express how impressed I am with the battery on the 11 Pro XL. I used to charge my Pixel 9 Pro XL, two times a day to make it through the day when it was new. Then 3 times a day after using it for 2 years. If the Pixel 11 Pro XL stays this way, hat down to Google, they finally made a phone that can last more than a day!

    Also it doesn't get hot when charging nor does it get hot when recording video, or using it for more processor heavy tasks such as games. It's so much better than 9 Pro XL which used to get very warm.

    The negative parts I noticed are all related to the camera performance. The 1x camera has issues in daylight photos when it badly morphs HDR frames and people's faces look like multiple colour gradients were sliced together.

    The 5x has issues focusing, but when using 10x it focuses just fine.

    Night sight is quicker, but at the expense of detail. You end up with a worse photo that's more blurry compared to Nught Sight on Pixel 9 Pro XL.

    I suspect these are teething issues with camera software not being polished due to the new camera modules in the Pixel 11 Pro XL. I remember similar experience with Pixel 7 Pro XL, 9 Pro XL when I bought them on the day of release.

    Over time, Google will release updates and the cameras will get better, but for now, they're not great. Some photos are perfect and better than the Pixel 9 Pro XL, others are worse, it's just not consistent.

  6. The only thing I can give to pixel is the details in the photos, something Samsung has never been able to do but they brought an option for it this year, the 24mp and it works well on all the three major cameras.

    On the other hand, the pixel is still washing out the colors as before which I don't like

  7. Looks like I will be staying with my pixel 5. Why? The snapdragon of course. No jitters, hiccups or lags. Although no longer supported with security patches, my Norton 5 device subscription works perfectly.

  8. Pixel cameras rely heavily on AI, and you have little control of what it does. It's great for taking social media photos where nobody cares if everything looks over processed. There's no real manual mode either. Meh.

  9. I've always said that Google Pixel smartphones are so successful in terms of the camera. If it switches to a Snapdragon chipset, it could be one of the best smartphones.👌
