GoKawiilGoogle's new Pixel 11 Pro modem wins over a skeptical Android Authority reviewer
Android Authority's Joe Maring initially planned to skip the Pixel 11 Pro, criticizing Google for making only incremental updates like Samsung and Apple. He instead upgraded after Google introduced a new modem in the Pixel 11 series and he secured the phone for under £200 through combined trade-in and pre-order discounts.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The modem in Google's previous Pixel 10 Pro caused dropped calls, poor signal, overheating, and battery drain, issues users had complained about for years. Addressing this core hardware flaw signals Google may finally be prioritizing reliability fundamentals in Tensor-powered phones rather than just camera or software tweaks.

- The reviewer secured the phone for under £200 using stacked trade-in and pre-order discounts
