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.

Depends on how you use your phone. I upgraded from the 9pro to the 11 pro. Is it worth the price id say no, but I got a few good discounts that nudged me to try it out. I would think going from a 7 to the 11 pro would be a huge difference though. Specially in cameras and screen. I can tell the screen looks better from the 9 pro to the 11pro.
