The Pixel 11 won’t be exciting – what do you want next year? - 9to5Google

We’re just a few days out from the launch of Google’s Pixel 11 series and, at this point, it’s all out there. And, yeah, it’s shaping up to be a pretty boring year, and that’s got me thinking about what I want from next year’s Pixel 12 series.

As mentioned in last week’s edition of 9to5Google Weekender, the Pixel 11 series is showing up with extraordinarily bad timing. The same design, no big new features (that we know of), some minor downgrades, and a somewhat-self-inflicted price hike all add up to a phone that’s going to be a relatively hard sell. It’s absolutely fair to call these phones boring – and we have. They’ll still be good phones for those who perhaps haven’t upgraded since the Pixel 6 or Pixel 7, or are just now jumping into Google’s ecosystem, but they’re far from exciting for fans or those waiting for the next leap forward.
