Google Pixel 11 Pro users on Reddit report disruptive static bursts every five seconds in videos recorded with Video Boost enabled, affecting both FHD and 4K resolutions. The issue appears tied to the feature that uploads recordings to Google's Cloud services for enhancement before returning them to the device. Multiple users confirmed the problem, with some considering returns due to the phone's premium price.

Google's Pixel product support team responded to the thread requesting more details, acknowledging the reports. Meanwhile, users discovered workarounds: clearing the camera app cache and disabling "zoom audio" resolved the static for the original poster, while toggling 60fps recording on and off helped another. Video Boost, introduced on the Pixel 8 Pro, is designed to improve video quality via cloud processing, but the Pixel 11 Pro implementation shows a disconnect.

Android Central notes that while Google's engagement and community fixes are positive, the bug risks tarnishing the otherwise well-received Pixel 11 launch, which emphasizes AI-driven camera capabilities.
