Google shared blueprint-style wallpapers for the Pixel 11 series through its Japan Twitter account, displaying the phones' internal components from front and rear views. The wallpapers show details like the camera, vapor chamber cooling, USB-C port, and battery, continuing Google's tradition of offering similar creative wallpapers for previous Pixel models.
Google's official Pixelsnap cases for the Pixel 11 series are on sale at Amazon with 20% off, bringing prices from $49.99 to $39.99. The company is also running its 28th birthday sale with bundle deals and discounts on various Pixel phone models through late September.
Google's Pixel 11 flagship starts at $899, but budget alternatives offer comparable features at lower prices. The Pixel 10a ($499) matches the Pixel 11's camera capabilities with a 7-year update guarantee, while the Nothing Phone 4a Pro ($499) delivers larger display, powerful specs, and dual 50-megapixel cameras, though it lacks wireless charging.
Google's Pixel 11 launch featured the Rambler voice-to-text feature, which Swiftkey has now replicated with a similar AI Voice feature in its beta app. Swiftkey's version removes speech pauses and cleans up dictation across Android devices, though it lacks Rambler's advanced editing capabilities like voice-based word correction and emoji insertion.
Google rolled out a small 96–98MB software update for Pixel 11 phones focused on bug fixes and stability rather than new features, following the withdrawal of an earlier build. The update carries a security patch but no user-facing changes, with users still waiting for the full Android 17 QPR1 release that would bring the anticipated new features.
