Android 11 may be slowing down smartphones like the Pixel 4a and Pixel 4 XL, HotHardware has discovered. The two Google smartphones perform demonstrably worse in benchmarks running Android 11 than they do on Android 10; the website is not the only one to be complaining of slowdowns on Android 11, either.

I call Android 11 a downgrade on my Pixel 3 XL lot of people are having issues with the ringers not working so they think their phone won't work another problem is on a screenshot it takes two hands to work the phone now to do a screenshot where you only use one before and battery life is down due to the fact my screen won't turn off when I'm on the phone so if I'm on the phone for hours the screen is on for hours

Pixel 2XL also noticeably worse after updating with Android 11; stutters, camera failing to save, videos cutting parts out with "another app is consuming resource" popup....I want to roll back already

I definitely am having this issue. My battery life sucks on my 4xl. It will legit only last about 12 hours on a charge.
