EDITORIAL: Continuing pattern of minimal innovation, Pixel 11 XL comes with a new 5-color LED (partial) notification light, new 3nm Tensor G6 chip and a marginally improved imaging setup. Battery is smaller (!) then last year with same charging setup.
PROs
flagship build with a new RGB back indicator showing calls and Gemini notifications (but not much else), 2300nits bright 480ppi 120Hz LTPO OLED screen with HDR10+, IP68 protection, very good 50MP 25mm 48MP 106mm 48MP 12mm ultrawide (all PDAF) setup, excellent (in daylight) 42MP 18mm PDAF selfie, good video recording, feature packed OS with a 7 years of updates promise, basic desktop replacement functionality, fast USB-C 3.2 port, Satellite SOS Service
CONs
mediocre Tensor G6 (3nm) with UFS 4.0 performance will not support every game, sub-30hr endurance from a 5100mAh old-tech lithium battery with 60min 45W (25W wireless) charging, no SD memory slot, limited market availability, $1,300 expensive at lounch
Xiaomi 15S Pro

EDITORIAL: Featuring Xiaomi's own processor, the 15S Pro marks a beginning of a new era. Unlike Huawei's Kirin chips, the new XRing 01 is a proper 3nm top-of-the-line processor that should compete head on with SD 8 Elite and Mediatec's top Dimensity 9400. Xiaomi wants to impress: all-day battery, excellent screen, powerful cameras, even the Display Port is there.
PROs
expect fast performance with UFS 4.1 memory, >30hr endurance from a 6100mAh Si battery with sub-60min 90W (50W wireless) charging, >1300 >520ppi LTPO AMOLED with Dolby Vision screen, IP68 protection, reliable 50MP 23mm main + 50MP 120mm periscope telephoto (both OIS PDAF)+ 50MP 14mm AF ultrawide setup, average 32MP 22mm (non AF) selfie, okay video recording, 4 years of OS updates and fast USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port with DisplayPort and OTG
CONs
no AF on selfie, no expandable memory or desktop replacement functionality
