What your smartphone color choice reveals about you

Eight colors, eight personalities. Here’s how to pick.

Published

on

Your phone color says more than you think. With the Pixel 11 series, Google’s giving you eight ways to make that statement, and there’s genuinely one for every kind of person.

Hibiscus

You’re never the quiet one in the room. Hibiscus doesn’t ask for attention; it just takes it, and if that sounds like you, you’re probably not planning to start hiding now. This is the pick for anyone who’d rather stand out than blend in.

Pistachio

You’re the one who remembers everyone’s coffee order. Pistachio is soft and easy; the one whom people gravitate toward without quite knowing why. It doesn’t try hard to be liked. It just is.

Frost

You like things a little too organized. Frost means clean lines and a clear head, the color equivalent of a camera roll with zero mess in it. If your notes app has color-coded folders, this one’s calling your name.

Obsidian

You let the work speak for itself. No flash needed, because when you show up, the room adjusts anyway. Obsidian is the classic choice, the one that’s never trying too hard because it doesn’t have to.

Canyon

You’re the one who suggests the sunset drive. Canyon is warm and a little restless, always chasing golden hour whether or not anyone else is up for it. Available on the Pro and Pro XL, it’s built for people who treat every evening like it might be a good one.

Olive

You’re outdoorsy, but you’ll still show up looking put together. Olive is low-key and grounded, the one who doesn’t try too hard because it’s already comfortable in its own skin. Another Pro and Pro XL exclusive.

Fog

You’re hard to read, and you like it that way. Fog is understated on purpose, a Pro and Pro XL colorway for anyone who’d rather keep people guessing.

So, which one’s you?

Eight colors, three phones, one very personal decision. Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro XL goes on sale starting August 20 — with Pistachio, Hibiscus, Frost, and Obsidian on the base model; and Canyon, Fog, Olive, and Obsidian on the Pro line.

Which one’s calling your name?

Pixel 11 Pro Fold brings an improved foldable experience

Google’s most durable yet

Published

on

Today, Google launched three different flavors of the Pixel 11 series. If three levels of flatness aren’t enough, the series has a fourth option for you: a new and improved Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

Like the rest of the series, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is lighter than its predecessor. It’s almost 10 percent lighter and around 1mm thinner than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

For a foldable, it’s also Google’s most durable. The foldable has the new scratch-resistant Super Actua display, touting 3600nits of brightness. Plus, the rear has a new glass fiber composite back cover, which Google says is “nearly impossible to crack.” It also has IP68 dust and water resistance.

Inside, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold comes with the new Tensor G6 chipset paired with 16GB of RAM.

For cameras, the foldable has the new 48-megapixel main sensor and a telephoto lens that touts up to 30x Super Zoom. The camera bar then comes in a smaller format on the top left corner of the rear.

Much like the regular phones, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold comes with the new HiLight feature, a notification dot that lights up (and can be customized) whenever notifications pop up.

Finally, the foldable has faster wired charging, promising half of the battery’s capacity in only 30 minutes of charging time. It’s also 20 percent faster with 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging built inside.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold comes in two colorway options: Obsidian and Olive. It hits shelves in August 20.

The Pixel 11 series is official!

The series comes in three models.

Published

on

The Pixel 11 series is here! Though we want to say we’re surprised, Google’s yearly flagships are often the least kept secrets heading into their respective debuts. While today is no different, there’s still a lot to look at underneath the microscope, so without further ado, here’s all the nitty gritty with the Pixel 11.

The series comes in three flavors: Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro XL. (Technically, there’s a foldable, but that deserves its own spotlight.)

In terms of design, the series shares in the same philosophy as its predecessors. However, the formerly sizable camera bar has reduced its thickness by 40 percent, making it much more comfortable in your pockets or even just laying flat on a surface.

All three models will come with the Google Tensor G6 chipset. It’s the company’s most powerful chip yet, touting 25 percent faster browsing and 15 percent faster app launches. All three will also start at 256GB of storage. Both the regular model and the Pro comes with Qi 2.2 25W compatibility.

Additionally, the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL comes with Google’s brightest Super Actua display, peaking at 3,600 nits of brightness. It’s also very durable with an anti-scratch display and a drop-resistant design.

As for cameras, the series starts with an upgraded 48-megapixel main sensor. The sensor takes in more light, allowing for better shots. Additionally, the improved chipset allows the camera to go up to 30x Super Zoom. Meanwhile, the Pro and Pro XL bump this even further with better light sensitivity and a Pro Zoom going up to 120x Pro Zoom.

Speaking of cameras, the camera bar now has something new called HiLight. If you’ve owned a Nothing phone, you’ll likely find this familiar. It’s a notification light that turns on (and can be customized) when you get notifications.

Price, availability

The Pixel 11 comes in four colorway options: Pistachio, Hibiscus, Frost, and Obsidian. It starts at US$ 899.

The Pro and Pro XL come in four different flavors: Canyon, Fog, Olive, and Obsidian. They start at US$ 1,099 and US$ 1,299, respectively.

All three phones go on sale starting August 20.
