Google Tensor G6: The Brain Behind Pixel 11

Tensor G6 is designed to support:
On-device AI
Gemini Nano
Computational photography
Camera processing
Voice and language features
Security
Multitasking
For users, the biggest advantage is how the processor works together with Google's AI and camera software rather than focusing only on conventional benchmark performance.
Gemini Intelligence: A More Proactive Pixel Experience
One of the biggest changes in the Pixel 11 Series is Gemini Intelligence.
Instead of requiring you to manually move between apps for every task, Gemini Intelligence is designed to provide more proactive and personalised assistance across supported experiences.
It may help with actions such as:
Saving events to Calendar
Saving locations
Recognising useful information
Assisting with writing
Working with supported apps
Helping organise everyday tasks
Feature availability can vary depending on language, account, subscription and supported services.
Gemini Live
Pixel 11 also supports Gemini Live, allowing more natural conversations with Gemini.
You can share your camera and ask Gemini questions about what you are seeing.
This can help with:
Identifying objects
Understanding your surroundings
Getting visual guidance
Asking questions about something in front of you
Magic Capture: Take the Photo Without Missing the Moment
Magic Capture is one of the standout new Pixel 11 camera features.
Instead of repeatedly pressing the shutter trying to catch the perfect moment, Pixel can capture photos and video while identifying strong frames automatically.
It can be particularly useful for:
Children
Pets
Sports
Celebrations
Group gatherings
Fast-moving subjects
Google says a typical Magic Capture session can analyse hundreds of frames and apply selected improvements such as cropping, straightening or unblurring where appropriate.
The goal is simple: help you stay involved in the moment instead of concentrating entirely on the phone screen.
Camera Looks: Choose Your Photo Style
Camera Looks gives Pixel 11 users more control over how photos appear directly from the camera.
Available styles include options such as:
Original: Familiar Pixel processing
Natural: More relaxed detail
Shadows: Stronger contrast
Vanilla: Warmer tones
Instead of adding filters after taking a photo, you can choose the visual style you prefer before shooting.
Pixel 11 Camera: 5x Telephoto on the Standard Model
The standard Pixel 11 features a triple-camera system:
48MP wide camera
13MP ultrawide camera
10.8MP 5x telephoto camera
Up to 30x Super Zoom
The dedicated 5x telephoto camera makes Pixel 11 more flexible for:
Travel photography
Concerts
Architecture
Portraits
Wildlife
Distant subjects
The upgraded 48MP main camera also provides improved light sensitivity, helping with photography in challenging lighting.
For many users, this provides strong camera versatility without needing to move to a Pro model.
Pixel 11 Pro Camera: Up to 120x Pro Zoom
The Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL offer Google's more advanced camera system.
Both include:
50MP wide camera
48MP ultrawide with Macro Focus
48MP 5x telephoto camera
Up to 120x Pro Zoom
42MP autofocus front camera
The upgraded telephoto system provides more flexibility for subjects that are far away, while improved light sensitivity can help in more challenging conditions.
Faster Night Sight
Google has also improved Night Sight processing on the Pro models.
Faster image capture means users can spend less time holding the phone still when photographing darker scenes.
Advanced Video Features
The Pro models also include features such as:
8K Video Boost
Pro Stable Video
Night Sight Video
Audio Magic Eraser
Macro Focus Video
10-bit HDR
Cinematic Pan
Audio Zoom
These tools make the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL particularly useful for users who create both photos and videos.
HiLight: Notifications Without Checking Your Screen
HiLight is available on Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
When the phone is placed face down, coloured lighting around the camera area can provide selected information without requiring you to pick up the phone.
HiLight can support experiences such as:
Selected caller alerts
Gemini interactions
Glanceable notifications
It offers another way to stay informed without constantly looking at the display.
