Titan M3 handles quantum-safe secure boot, runs Trusty, and carries Common Criteria certification at the level used for SIM and bank cards, addressing the harvest-now-decrypt-later threat model. Performance-wise, Tensor G6 claims 25% faster browsing, 15% faster app loading, and 20% better power efficiency over the Tensor G5, plus a TPU with 50% more compute that speeds up on-device Gemini Nano. Pricing starts at $899 for the base Pixel 11, up to $1,899 for the Pro Fold, with the 128GB tier dropped. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What security feature does Google's Titan M3 chip add to the Pixel 11 that previous Pixel phones didn't have? The Titan M3 security coprocessor in the Pixel 11 adopts post-quantum cryptography standards set by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, a first for a Google phone. It handles quantum-safe secure boot, runs Google's Trusty trusted execution environment across all four Pixel 11 models, and holds Common Criteria certification at the level used for SIM and bank cards. _Developers tracking hardware security shifts like post-quantum crypto adoption can follow the story on daily.dev._ ### Why are companies adding post-quantum cryptography to devices now if quantum computers can't break encryption yet? The motivation is a threat called harvest now, decrypt later, where attackers steal encrypted data today and hold it until a quantum computer capable of breaking current encryption exists. No such quantum computer currently exists, but governments are accelerating timelines, with the White House signing orders calling for a useful quantum computer by 2028. _Security-minded developers weighing when to adopt post-quantum crypto can track this shift on daily.dev._ ### How much does the Google Pixel 11 lineup cost and what changed from previous pricing? The Pixel 11 starts at $899, the Pro at $1,099, the Pro XL at $1,299, and the Pro Fold at $1,899. The 128GB storage tier was dropped from the lineup, confirming a price increase Google had signaled earlier as memory prices climbed. _daily.dev helps developers who track hardware pricing trends stay on top of shifts like this._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev -
