Whatever you do, don't buy a Pixel 11 right now if you already have a Pixel 10
As rumors of the Pixel 11 circulate, it appears that upgrading from the Pixel 10 may not yield significant benefits. The new device features minor enhancements in battery efficiency and camera quality but lacks major performance upgrades. Resale values for the Pixel 10 remain strong, suggesting that users should hold off on selling their device until the market stabilizes post-launch of the Pixel 11. Additionally, many software improvements will likely become available for older models, further reducing the incentive to upgrade immediately.
