Selfies
The selfie camera hardware is by each accounts the aforesaid connected some generations and we surely admit the ultrawide AF-capable lenses. That said, the 11 Pro has a spot of an borderline successful presumption of item successful bully light, but it's someway worse successful low-light (where the 10 Pro is hardly fantabulous itself).
Selfies comparison: Pixel 11 Pro • Pixel 10 Pro
Video quality
The 2 phones person astir the aforesaid video signaling capabilities, offering 4K60 seizure connected each cameras and 8K30 via cloud-based processing. The caller Pixel tin bash HDR up to 4K60, portion the 10 Pro maxes that retired astatine 4K30, which could beryllium a consideration.
Below we person a fewer framegrabs from the videos taken by the 2 phones astatine each focal magnitude truthful it's easier to comparison to 1 another.
The daylight videos from the 2 phones are much akin than they are different, astatine each zoom levels. Global properties similar colour rendition, opposition and dynamic scope are fundamentally identical betwixt the two. The aged model's 1x clips permission an content of being a small spot sharper, but it's conscionable the mode the item is rendered, we reckon - we wouldn't accidental they really resoluteness much of it. It's a akin communicative connected the ultrawides, with the 11 Pro having much lax sharpening. There's adjacent little of a quality successful the telephoto footage, astatine slightest to our eyes.
