Quick Summary While Google used to offer 12 months of its AI Pro plan with the purchase of a 'Pro' Pixel product, the Pixel 11 series changes that. The Pixel 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro XL, and 11 Pro Fold now offer 6 months of an AI Pro plan – a reduction of 50% compared to the last generation. Google has just revealed its all-new family of Pixel 11 devices – and very nice each of them looks, too. From the base Pixel 11, to the step-up Pixel 11 Pro, 11 Pro XL and 11 Pro Fold handsets – the latter selection with the new HiLife feature – there's an option for everyone (who wants one of the best Android phones anyway).
