I thought Google made a mistake with the Pixel 11 Pro XL. 30 days later, I was wrong
MobileI thought Google made a mistake with the Pixel 11 Pro XL. The company isn’t geared up to match phones like the Galaxy S26 Ultra spec-for-spec, and when you put yourself in the same price range, buyers have expectations. Google reduced the base model’s RAM, making people feel as though they paid more for less.I understand all the criticisms, and they are still valid.
