Highlights on upgrading from P8 to P11 Pro

I put together a quick breakdown of the biggest differences I’ve noticed after upgrading from the base Pixel 8 to the 11 Pro, maybe this will help someone who's considering a similar upgrade:

  • The fingerprint scanner is so much better, it's basically as fast and accurate as the old capacitive fingerprint scanners, also no flashbang at night.
  • Speakers have definitely improved, dare I say it, they even have some bass now.
  • So far the battery life seems to be great, battery dropped from 60% to 20% after 4 hours of SOT, my P8 would pretty much go from full to flat in the same amount of time
  • Also the charging speed seems to be better, the P8 liked to drop to like 5W when it got mildly warm and would take ages to charge.
  • The selfie and ultrawide camera sensors are both way better than on the P8. Having the telephoto camera is also great as I often missed it on my P8.

What did not change:

  • Haptics feel the same (maybe the motor is a little quieter?).
  • Main camera sensor seems to be very similar to the P8, did not test low light yet though.

Feel free to ask for any comparisons in the comments!

Base Pixel 11 teardown video

Someone has already uploaded a full teardown of the base P11, I think you guys here will find it interesting. I wonder how they got their hands on it so early.
