It’s not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but it comes with 256GB of storage and is £200 less than the Pixel 11 Pro, matching rival Samsung’s Galaxy S26.Screen: 6.3in 120Hz FHD+ OLED (422ppi)Processor: Google Tensor G6RAM: 12GBStorage: 256 or 512GBOperating system: Android 17Camera: 48MP+ 13MP UW + 10.8MP 5x tele; 10.5MP selfieConnectivity: 5G, eSIM, wifi 6E, UWB, NFC, Bluetooth 6 and GNSSWater resistance: IP68 (1.5m for 30 minutes)Dimensions: 152.8 x 72.0 x 8.
