Gadget Review: A smarter phone for everyday use

A good smartphone should make life easier, not more complicated. It should take good pictures, last through the day and help with everyday tasks. Google’s Pixel 11 tries to do all three, while adding a range of AI features that make it more than just a phone for calls, messages and entertainment. There is a faster Tensor G6 chip, a bright display, improved cameras and a battery that promises over 30 hours of use. But its biggest attraction is the way Google has brought AI into everyday activities – from helping users take better pictures to translating conversations and finding information on the screen.
