However, it is still behind the Chinese heavy hitters like the vivo X300 Ultra, OPPO Find X9 Ultra, vivo X300 Pro, and HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra.

The device achieved a Photo score of 171 points, 9 points below the best-scoring Photo phone (HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra), a Video score of 162 points, 10 points below the top-scoring Video phone (iPhone 17 Pro Max), and a 170 Bokeh score, which is 15 points below the leading Bokeh phone (OPPO Find X9 Ultra).

In summary, DxOMark said that the device delivers pleasant exposure with wide dynamic range, natural colors, accurate skin tones, fast autofocus, excellent Portrait mode, and effective front‑camera stabilization, though the ultra‑wide lens can lose fine detail and low‑light video still shows residual noise.

To recap, the Pixel 11 Pro XL rear cameras include a 50MP wide sensor (f/1.68, 1/1.3") with OIS, a 48MP ultrawide (f/1.7, 1/2.51") offering 123-degree FoV and macro focus, and a 48MP periscope telephoto (f/2.8) with 5x optical zoom and OIS.

The Google Pixel 11 Pro XL runs on the Google Tensor G6 chip, a custom 3nm TSMC SoC designed to maximize on‑device AI performance.
