Six Strong Alternatives to the Pixel 11 Pro XL
Android Central argues the Pixel 11 Pro XL impresses with cameras and Gemini AI, but its lower RAM, smaller battery, and weaker GPU make it hard to recommend in some cases. It then recommends six alternate phones: Galaxy S26 Ultra for a familiar high-end Android experience, RedMagic 11S Pro for top performance and lengthy gaming sessions, POCO F8 Ultra for strong all‑round values and 100W charging, the iPhone 17 Pro for a stable iOS ecosystem, and the OPPO Find X9 Pro and Vivo X300 Pro as premium camera rivals (noting the Find X9 Pro and Vivo X300 Pro aren’t widely available in the US).
