The Google Pixel 11 series is officially here, with additional details to follow at the Made by Google event later this evening. As you decide which model to pick up, weโ€™re gaining some fresh insights into the smartphone lineupโ€™s energy efficiency, durability, and repairability.

Thanks to listings published by the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL), weโ€™re getting our first glimpse at how Googleโ€™s latest flagships fare. Starting with the Pixel 11 (GUJ0N), the database reveals an energy efficiency rating of B. The EPREL provides A to G grades for devices, with A being the most efficient and G being the least.

The EPREL also grades device durability and repairability from A to E in a similar fashion. This is where the Pixel 11 shines, with the device receiving an A for repeated free-fall reliability across 270 falls without defect, while securing a B grade for repairability โ€” which is not dissimilar to last yearโ€™s ratings . The onboard 4,840mAh battery runs for up to 48 hours and 50 minutes, per the published details.

Meanwhile, the Pixel 11 Pro (GM45K) secures a B in energy efficiency, durability, and repairability. The smartphoneโ€™s low durability grade was due to its free-fall reliability of just 180 falls. Its 4,707mAh battery can last up to 47 hours and 36 minutes, lower than the vanilla Pixel 11.

The Pixel 11 Pro XL (G4HCD) fared better than its Pro sibling by achieving an A in durability, courtesy of lasting 270 falls in the free-fall test. Googleโ€™s new XL flagship also receives a B grade for energy efficiency and repairability. The 5,000mAh battery can last for 50 hours and 10 minutes, according to the listing.

Lastly, model number GZDQ6 corresponds to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold , and, like the Pixel 11 Pro XL, earns a B for energy efficiency as well as repairability. The foldable managed to survive 210 free falls without defect in its closed state, though that number drops to 45 when unfolded. These figures helped the Pixel 11 Pro Fold secure an A grade in durability. The 4,658mAh battery pack is rated to last 45 hours and 5 minutes, which is the lowest among the Pixel 11 lineup.

Based on these listings published by EPREL, it seems that all models, except the Pixel 11 Pro, are preforming along expected lines across most metrics. The database reports that all Pixel 11 phones feature batteries that should maintain at least 80% of their capacity through 1,000 charge cycles, which is also unchanged from the Pixel 10 models.
