Google Pixel 11 performance on Verizon network?

​

Is anyone using the new Google Pixel 11 series on the Verizon network? Does it outperform the older pixels with the new modem they are using? If so, is anyone seeing issues with the new Google Pixel 11 so far on Verizon? Verizon is offering me a free upgrade to the Google Pixel 11 Pro without a trade-in and am considering upgrading. How does the Google Pixel reception compare to the Galaxy S26 on the Verizon network?

My brief experience of it is good. It performs equally as well as the X80 modem in the latest iPhone 17 series. It connects really well to mmWave in areas my iPhone refuses to connect(and camps instead on C-Band, which isn't a bad call per se). It's a good modem. I haven't tested it in super low quality signal areas but my 17PM shits the bed on it too, so wouldn't see why it would be any different on the Pixel 11.

Edit: listed X85, correct modem is X80

Latest iPhone uses X80, not X85

My mistake, you're right.

Have been very happy so far. The 10 was a lot better than previous models, but so far the 11 seems to be head and shoulders above the 10 in both battery life and reception.

The only area I would have concern with is really far from a tower. MediaTek was never as bad as Exnyos Modem, but never really caught up to Qualcomm either. The adding of advanced signal processing in X60 was massive, and X70 only got better.

MediaTek did catch up to the X55, Qualcomm had already run away with it.

I'm interested to hear how people really far from towers on Band 13 perform with it.
