Google will hold its Made by Google event in New York on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, where the new Pixel 11 family will make its debut. Google hasn’t released any other official details yet: the invitation only mentions the “next generation of Pixel,” without committing to specific models, specs, or prices.

Over the past few weeks, though, a steady stream of leaks has filled in the gaps — from Amazon listings published by mistake, to renders shared by leakers, to tips coming from other European retailers.

In this guide we round up everything that has surfaced so far about the new Pixel 11 series, separating what is already official from what, for now, comes only from unconfirmed rumors.

Announcement and release date

Let’s start with the official news. The Made by Google event will take place on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 in New York, at 6:00 PM East Coast time. It’s the second year in a row that Google has chosen New York as its main venue.

The press invitations circulated so far show an early glimpse of a Pixel with a golden metal frame — a detail that many believe hints at one of the lineup’s new color options.

Almost certainly, the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, Pixel 11 Pro Fold, and the new Pixel Watch 5 (in two sizes) will all take the stage. Sales, however, are expected to begin on August 20, 2026, eight days after the official unveiling.

Models in the lineup

The Pixel 11 family will consist of four models, in line with the structure seen in recent years. It starts with the Pixel 11, the base model, joined by the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL — the compact version and the one with the largest screen, respectively. Finally, there’s the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, Google’s new foldable.

Unlike the standard models, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is rumored to launch slightly later than the August event. The previous generation, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, also reached shelves about a month after its summer reveal.

Technical specs

Now on to the possible technical specs of the new series — in this case drawn from numerous leaks and not yet officially confirmed. The Pixel 11 should feature a 6.3-inch OLED display with a 2856x1280 resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The battery is expected to be 4,985 mAh, with 12 GB of RAM and a 13-megapixel selfie camera. Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 6.0, and 256 GB and 512 GB storage options round out the package.

The Pixel 11 Pro XL will have a 6.8-inch OLED display with a 2992x1344 resolution, also at 120 Hz. The battery could be 5,115 mAh, while the device is likely to weigh around 226 grams (about 8 oz). The Pixel 11 Pro should share most of these specs, simply in a smaller format.

Finally there’s the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, which should have a 6.5-inch external display at 120 Hz and 16 GB of RAM across all memory configurations. As for the battery, some reports point to a 4,750 mAh cell, down from the 5,000 mAh of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Several sources suspect, however, that this is simply a placeholder entered by mistake on Amazon rather than a real battery downgrade.

On the processor side, the new Tensor G6 is expected — the first Google chip manufactured by TSMC on a 2-nanometer process. That would mark the end of the partnership with Samsung.

The rumored configuration is unusual, though: seven cores split across three clusters, paired with a new PowerVR GPU, the next-generation Titan M3 security chip, and a MediaTek modem in place of the Samsung Exynos used until now.

For the camera, rumors point to a new main sensor codenamed “chemosh,” which could offer a resolution of around 50 megapixels. It should arrive on both the base Pixel 11 and the Pro Fold. There’s also talk of a new optical zoom module with a circular lens design.

What’s new compared with the previous generation

Compared with the Pixel 10, the most important change for the new Pixel 11 should involve storage. The 128 GB tier looks set to disappear, replaced by 256 GB as the minimum configuration, with tiers up to 1 TB reserved for the Pro, Pro XL, and Fold models.

On the design front, leaks describe a fairly conservative approach — no major overhaul versus the current generation, just tweaks to the camera module. Specifically, there’s talk of a slightly larger camera bar on the Pro and a more contained one on the base model.

Colors, on the other hand, will see more changes. The base Pixel 11 could introduce Fuchsia, a vivid pink that Google hasn’t offered on its flagships in some time, alongside Light Sterling, Moss, and Midnight Haze.

The Pro and Pro XL models would share the Pine, Light Fog, Midnight Haze, and Dune shades. The latter is said to feature a glossy gold frame, teased in the official press invitation.

Finally, on the software side, many expect the launch to be accompanied by the new agentic AI features shown at Google I/O 2026, with Gemini Intelligence potentially the standout feature exclusive to the new lineup compared with earlier Pixels.

Prices

Nothing is official on pricing yet either. For the US market, an Amazon listing surfaced in recent weeks pointing to a starting price of $899 for the 256 GB Pixel 11 — $100 more than the Pixel 10 — with the Pixel 11 Pro starting at $1,099 and the Pixel 11 Pro XL at $1,299.

In Europe, the first credible tip came from the French site Dealabs. According to that report, the Pixel 11 Pro XL should carry a list price ranging from €1,399 for the 256 GB model, to €1,529 for the 512 GB version, up to €1,789 for the 1 TB variant. Here too, the increase would be around €100 over the previous generation.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold would start at roughly €1,999 and climb to €2,389 for the 1 TB version. For the US market, some sources indicate the Pro Fold will start near $1,899 for the 256 GB version and top $2,000 for the 512 GB tier.

Final pricing isn’t known yet, but it now seems clear there will be variable increases driven by the rising memory prices currently hitting the entire smartphone segment.
