Which group Google Pixel 11 belongs to and how it is built
This subcategory covers smartphones and related mobile devices used as edge compute platforms — featuring custom SoCs, NPU/TPU accelerators and the ability to run AI models directly on-device. In robotics such devices are sometimes used as perception, control or human–machine interface modules.
Component type describing full-size smartphones — mobile devices integrated in a single chassis, containing an SoC, memory, battery, a sensor suite, cameras and a display. Modern smartphones increasingly serve as edge-AI platforms, running language and vision models locally on-device.
Design class covering smartphones treated as mobile edge-AI platforms: an integrated chassis, a custom or commercial SoC with an NPU/TPU unit, a touchscreen, a camera and sensor suite, and a battery. Typical of devices able to run generative and vision models locally, without a cloud connection.
Basic physical properties of Google Pixel 11 — dimensions, weight and materials
The Google Pixel 11 is an 11th-generation smartphone from the Google Pixel family, announced on 12 August 2026 and released on 20 August 2026. It is the direct successor to the Pixel 10 and part of the series alongside the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL variants.
The device is powered by the custom Google Tensor G6 — the sixth generation of Google-designed SoC. Google states that the new chip processes on-device AI tasks up to 3.5 times faster while using up to 3.5 times less energy than its predecessor. The phone runs AI models locally on-device using Gemini Nano and the Gemini Intelligence layer.
The Pixel 11 features a 6.3-inch OLED display at 2424 × 1080 (FHD+) with a 60–120 Hz refresh rate, 12 GB of LPDDR5X memory and 256 or 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The camera system includes a 48 MP main sensor (f/1.7), a 13 MP ultrawide and a 10.8 MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom and a 30x Super Zoom mode. The battery has a 4985 mAh capacity (30 W wired charging, 25 W Qi2.2 wireless), and the chassis is rated IP68 for ingress protection. The device runs Android 17.
