Pixel 11 Pro refresh: bigger camera bar, brighter display, and 25W wireless charging

Google’s Pixel 11 Pro sticks to a familiar design but with a vastly larger camera bar, removal of the temperature sensor, and new color options (including a matte Obsidian). It uses a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED with brighter output and the same 8-bit panel, plus Gorilla Glass Victus 2; PWM remains at 240Hz. The 4850 mAh battery is still typical one-day use, with wired charging at 30W taking about 1.5 hours for a full charge (55% in 30 minutes), while wireless charging now supports up to 25W with Qi2 magnets for MagSafe-like use. Overall, it’s a refined but not revolutionary upgrade.

Tesla Model Y L NA: bigger cabin, Texas tweaks, and wireless-power shift

Tesla’s North American Model Y L keeps a three-row, six-seat layout but is longer (7 inches overall, 6-inch wheelbase) with a body-integrated rear spoiler that adds about 15 miles of range and increases third-row headroom. North American builds ride on 20-inch Uberhelix wheels (EPA range 320 miles with these wheels vs 325 miles with 19-inch), and use a standard 15W non-cooled wireless charger (China’s version is 50W with active cooling; a higher-wattage NA pad is planned for future rollout). Inside, the Y L adds a 19-speaker audio system and improved second/third-row comfort. Tesla says the Launch Series is nearly sold out and deliveries begin in September, with upgrades across the lineup coming in step with higher-wattage charging adoption.
