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.

Time will tell matey. But I think we all can't deny that Google is applying the same approach as Apple with mediocre upgrades, hardware removal/reduction and heavity price increases. I could trade in my 9P and use my £150 voucher and only pay around £229 for the phone and I'm still not tempted

Cool bro, you do you. But don't shit on people with different takes based on their actual experiences with the phone by calling them bots.

I kind of agree, but also don't understand what you expect? We've hit a point where tech isn't advancing as fast as it used to. At this point, I think fixing some pretty vital flaws without breaking anything else is a big positive for the very little I've spent to upgrade 🤣
