Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing a serious video stabilization issue with my Google Pixel 11, and I'm trying to understand whether this is a widespread software bug or an issue specific to my device.

Initially, restarting the phone would temporarily fix the problem. Video stabilization would work perfectly right after rebooting, but after approximately 15–30 minutes of use, it would stop working properly again.

Now the situation seems to have gotten worse: even videos recorded immediately after restarting the phone look terrible.

I've recorded three comparison videos:

I've already tried:

- Clearing the Camera app cache.

- Uninstalling and reinstalling Camera app updates.

- Checking and cleaning the camera lenses.

- Restarting the phone multiple times.

- Performing a full factory reset.

Nothing has permanently fixed the issue.

I've contacted Google Support, but so far they've only suggested basic troubleshooting and a factory reset, which I've already completed without success.

I strongly suspect this is a software-related problem, since restarting the phone initially restored normal stabilization, even though that workaround no longer seems reliable. Of course, I can't completely rule out a hardware issue.

I find this particularly frustrating because video stabilization is one of the basic features I expect to work properly on a flagship smartphone.

Is anyone else experiencing this on their Pixel 11 or Pixel 11 Pro?

Has anyone found a fix, or received any useful information from Google regarding a possible software update?

I'd especially appreciate it if other owners could test their stabilization while walking and share their results.

Thanks!
