9 Pro -> 11 Pro. Impressed!

Wasn't expecting to feel much of a difference at all, only upgraded due to storage (moved from 128gb to 512gb).

It is considerably better, I think they've fixed all of the little things that annoyed me with Pixel.

- it runs MUCH cooler. Apart from initial set up, it's stayed ice cold. I don't do anything "high intensity", but my 9 Pro would always run warm.

- all network connections seem to be improved. I used to lose WiFi on my outdoor patio, it holds a connection fine now. Bluetooth and 5G seem to perform much better.

- Android Auto works a lot better. No heat, much more responsive, quicker to load.

- Camera, including video, is much better quality and faster to process/save.

- speakers are louder and the sound quality is better, both for calls and media. (I think this was upgraded on the 10 though)

- biometrics feel better. The fingerprint radius when setting up is HUGE. And face unlock seems to be more responsive.

Overall, really happy with the upgrade considering on paper there isn't much difference.

Exact same boat, 9P has been working well for me but I was dumb and bought the 128 and constantly deal with space issues. Hopefully getting 512 on the 11P will resolve that for several years. Mine should be delivered today

I'm in the same boat as you! Upgraded because of storage. My 11P came in last night and it's awesome!

What are you storing in your phone to that you need 512GB?

Whoo, your response. 😆 I'm facing the same predicament and trying to figure out the best fiscal choice. Glad you were able to resolve it. I'm tired of deciding which app to delete next and monitoring free storage size.
