Several things have been leaked about the upcoming smartphones by the company within the last few weeks.

Here is everything that we know about the Google Pixel 11 series before its launch.

Google Pixel 11 Series Launch Date

Google has already revealed that its next event Made by Google will be held on August 12, 2026. The upcoming launch event will be regarded as an official stage of unveiling the Pixel 11 lineup, as Google can announce all four smartphones on the global markets.

Among the devices to be announced at the launch event are the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Furthermore, Google may also unveil the new Pixel Watch 5 and Pixel Buds alongside other information related to the latest Android version as well as Gemini-powered system.

Hence, the event scheduled for August 12 will be especially interesting for those who have been waiting for news from Pixel, as the company will provide a lot of information regarding the cooperation of their hardware and software solutions.

Google Pixel 11 Series Models and Design

Google appears to be sticking with the same four-device strategy it introduced with the previous generation. The upcoming lineup is expected to succeed the Pixel 10 family and include the following models:

• Google Pixel 11

• Google Pixel 11 Pro

• Google Pixel 11 Pro XL

• Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold

From the perspective of design, however, Google will most likely refrain from any radical innovations. The company appears to be working on enhancing the design approach applied in the previous generation of Pixel smartphones.

As it was shown in official teaser images, the Pixel 11 Pro has received a recognizable horizontal camera bar and flat-frame design. That is, the brand remains loyal to one of the most distinctive features of its modern devices instead of opting for any major changes in the camera design.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is another device revealed by the company, thus proving that Google continues expanding the range of its foldable smartphone solutions. The device is believed to be an improved version of its predecessor, featuring upgraded hardware and software capabilities.

Another interesting feature in terms of design will most likely be Pixel Glow, reportedly placed in the vicinity of the camera visor. The feature will allow showing some notifications visually instead of making users looking at the screen every time when they receive a call or a message. Leaked renders also point towards subtle changes to the rear panel finish and camera module, although the overall Pixel identity is expected to remain intact.

Google Pixel 11 Series Colour Options

The Google Pixel 11 can come with an extensive range of colors as compared to the previous iteration, especially in the case of the standard Pixel 11 model. It seems like Google will go for brighter and more expressive colors when it comes to regular Pixel 11, but the Pro models can get more subdued colors in order to make them look more premium.

In terms of color options, the regular Pixel 11 should come in Light Sterling, Fuchsia, Midnight Haze and Moss. The Light Sterling is going to be a light blue-gray or lavendar-like color, but Fuchsia can deliver a more intense pink color. Meanwhile, Midnight Haze should be a dark gray or black color, whereas Moss is going to look olive-green.

The Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL can be launched in Light Fog, Pine, Midnight Haze and Dune. The Light Fog should look light mint or silver-colored, whereas Pine will bring in a deep green color. At the same time, Dune can deliver a coral-copper color with gold elements, which is a unique color choice for Pro models.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold may have a more limited colour selection, with Pine and Midnight Haze currently tipped as the two options. As with most leaked specifications, Google is yet to officially confirm the complete colour lineup, so the final names and availability could vary between markets.

Google Pixel 11 Series Price

Price might be one of the major talking points regarding the Pixel 11 series. It has been confirmed by Google that the new series will get a price hike, making the coming Pixel 11 handsets costlier than the previous versions.

The price hike has come because of the increase in the component prices, especially the memory price increase because of the shortage of RAM worldwide. Hardware expenses have risen for all the smartphone companies, and Google seems to be ready for the same as well.

As per the leak, the price of the Google Pixel 11 would begin from about EUR 999 or Rs 1.08 lakh. Similarly, the starting price of the Pixel 11 Pro series could be about EUR 1,199, or roughly Rs 1.3 lakh.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is estimated to be the costliest device in the series with the starting price of EUR 1,999 or around Rs 2.17 lakh. The above numbers do not reflect the actual price in India. Google may have different pricing policies for India as well as other markets based on taxation, importation charges, different storage arrangements, and the local market strategy.

There may also be changes to the storage arrangements in some selected markets as Google seeks means of addressing the growing costs of memory. Google has hinted that Android will become more efficient, meaning future versions of Pixel smartphones can run efficiently despite reduced RAM.

Google Pixel 11 Series Specifications and Performance

While the Pixel 11 series is anticipated to see more improvement rather than a major overhaul, Google seems to be focusing on artificial intelligence, performance, power consumption and software optimization that have become key aspects of Pixel smartphones.

The most anticipated component of the lineup will be Google's new Tensor G6 chipset. It is said that the chipset is under development and that there will be a major focus on efficiency and on-device AI processing.

The Tensor G6 may bring improvements in image processing, voice recognition, live translation, AI editing and other Gemini features. However, the most significant thing about Google's on-device AI may be the speed of certain functions and fewer cloud requests needed.

Also, the new Tensor chipset is expected to come along with the new Titan M3 security chip.

Pixel 11 Display Specifications

The basic Pixel 11 smartphone is said to have a 6.3 inches OLED flat screen display. The screen will stick to Google's commitment to color precision, animations, and good viewing experience.

The Pixel 11 Pro is predicted to use an LTPO OLED display screen featuring dynamic screen refresh rate of up to 120Hz. LTPO technology enables the screen refresh rate to change according to the display on the screen and thus making it energy efficient.

The bigger Pixel 11 Pro XL will come equipped with a 6.8 inch screen, meaning that users will get an additional screen space compared to Pixel 11 Pro's 6.3 inch screen.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold will obviously be the most fascinating one when it comes to display. Rumors say that the foldable phone might have a huge 8 inches internal screen along with a regular external screen. Moreover, Google will be working on the improvements of brightness and robustness of the display, which is extremely important for foldable smartphones.

Pixel 11 Camera Upgrades

Cameras will probably still be the most prominent features of the Pixel 11 line. Google has gained the Pixel's popularity largely thanks to the use of computational photography, and it seems that the new generation of smartphones will use this approach as well.

The cameras themselves will not experience a revolutionary update compared to their predecessors; Google can try to improve image quality with the help of the new Tensor chip and algorithms.

The Pro versions are expected to come with a set of versatile wide, ultra-wide and periscope telephoto cameras. The company's technology of computational photography might enhance HDR, low-light, portrait and zoom shots.

One of the most prominent improvements would certainly be the 120x zoom option that should appear in the upcoming Pixel 11 Pro lineup. Although very high digital zooms always require heavy computing resources, Google's image processing technology powered by AI could make far objects more accessible.

Moreover, the company will probably launch new AI editing features that could utilize the computing power of the Tensor G6 chip.

Pixel 11 Series Battery and Charging

It would be good to see an improvement in terms of battery life with the Pixel 11 range. According to the leaks, Google may choose to boost the capacity of its batteries as well as improve their efficiency thanks to the new Tensor G6 chip and software optimisation.

According to the leaks, the regular Pixel 11 will come with a 4,985mAh battery, whereas the Pixel 11 Pro may have a 4,850mAh battery. The big Pixel 11 Pro XL model might come with a 5,115mAh battery.

With these numbers in mind, it is possible to expect significantly better battery life compared to the previous generation Pixel smartphones.

Moreover, the Pixel 11 line of devices is going to support up to 30W wired fast charging as well as Qi2 wireless charging. Although 30W fast charging does not look too impressive compared to Chinese smartphone makers, Google is probably going to focus on battery life, efficiency, and software optimisation.

Android 17 and AI Features

Software and AI might be the ultimate selling points of Pixel 11 series. According to leaks, the phones will come with the newest version of Android 17 as a stock software. This gives Google a chance to display its innovations in the field of operating systems' functionality, as well as the exclusive Pixel features.

It is believed that the Tensor G6 will be behind the development of AI features that will run on the device itself. Google's Gemini ecosystem has become the core of the Android system and Pixel 11 series will only increase this trend.

The examples of such features could include fast voice processing, live translation, intelligent image editing, contextual assistance, etc. Moving the AI to the smartphone might also have a positive impact on speed, privacy, and reliability of the phone as there is no need for an Internet connection for some of the features.

Pixel 11 Pro Fold

Pixel 11 Pro Fold is said to be among the most impressive models of Google's future portfolio. As opposed to other models of Pixel phones, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is a combination of a traditional phone and a large tablet screen.

According to the rumors, the next-generation foldable model will feature a 7.6 or 8-inch screen on the inside, while the outside screen will remain traditional, as any other phone.

It can be presumed that the development of a durable and bright enough display, as well as optimization of Android OS and Google's AI for the new product are going to be among Google's key priorities in developing the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Nevertheless, its high cost about EUR 1,999 will make the device a premium one.

Pixel Watch 5 and New Pixel Buds

However, the Pixel 11 handsets will not be the sole products showcased by Google at its Made by Google event.

In addition, the tech giant will reportedly launch the Pixel Watch 5 smartwatches that come as a continuation of Google's line of watches as well as a way of enhancing the link between the Pixel phones and wearables. The new watches may offer some changes to the performance, battery life, health features, and Google's AI world.

Moreover, new Pixel Buds are also expected to get launched. This means that all these gadgets including the phone, the smartwatch, and the earbuds may create one cohesive Google hardware lineup akin to the one of Apple and Samsung.

In all likelihood, however, the Pixel 11 line seems to be headed towards becoming an evolution rather than revolution in smartphones. Google seems intent on sticking to their usual Pixel lineup but devoting themselves to the most important parts, which pertain to Google's strategic goals at present – namely, artificial intelligence, computational photography, energy savings and software.

The Tensor G6 SoC might prove to be the central component in this strategy, especially if it does well in the AI department. Bigger batteries could help address the issue that's been a long-standing problem for Pixel devices. At the same time, improved camera processing and the alleged 120x zoom might help Google cement their position in the domain of photography in smartphones.

Therefore, the Pixel 11 line could be very attractive for owners of other Pixel smartphones who want to get better AI functionality without having to give up anything. In fact, those using Pixel 8 or earlier models might find an upgrade to Pixel 11 very worth it indeed.

As the August 12 Made By Google event is scheduled to take place very soon, there will be more information forthcoming until such time when Google releases its Pixel 11 family officially. Prior to that, prices, storage options, and many other hardware-related issues must be treated as leaks and not facts.
