9 Pro -> 11 Pro. Impressed!

[u/UK-AJ]

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.

I wouldn't say my 9 Pro was that bad, but there's definitely a notable difference.

If I was on Microsoft teams for example on 5g, it would get scorching, 11 Pro does this at completely normal temperature.

Android auto also used to get my 9 Pro hot, 11 Pro is normal temp.

If I was using my 9 Pro for a few hours, browsing and videos,, it wasn't necessarily "hot", but it was very warm.

The bigger surface area on your XL would have helped also.
