Google Pixel 11 series confirmed to launch on August 12 with bigger storage and more!

Google has officially confirmed that its new Pixel series will make its debut at the Made by Google event in New York on August 12, 2026, as the successor to last year's Pixel 10 lineup. While Google hasn't officially revealed any hardware details yet, leaks over the past few months have given us a good idea of what to expect. So yeah, in this article, I will discuss everything we know about the Pixel 11 series in detail, including its expected specifications, pricing, and availability.

Google Pixel 11 series Overview

Lineup to be expected

Google is expected to bring back the same four-model what we saw last year: the standard Pixel 11, the compact Pixel 11 Pro, the larger Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the foldable Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

Design and Display

Starting with the design, the Pixel 11 series is not expected to look drastically different from the Pixel 10 family. We still get the same flat frames, the signature camera bar, and a glass-and-aluminum build. Recently, 9to5Google spotted early Amazon listings that went live before they were supposed to. The listings appeared to be placeholders or draft pages published with complete official-looking images.

According to the listings, the base Pixel 11 appears in three colors: Midnight, Fuchsia, and Moss. The Pixel 11 Pro is shown in four colors: Dune, Light Fog, Pine, and Sterling. Meanwhile, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is listed in Pine and Midnight color options.

The leaked Amazon listings also reveal that the base Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro are expected to feature 6.3-inch displays with a 1080 × 2424 resolution. Meanwhile, the Pixel 11 Pro XL is said to have a 6.8-inch LTPO display, while the Pixel 11 Fold is expected to feature a 6.5-inch display. Although details about the panel type and refresh rate have not been mentioned, previous leaks suggest that Google will likely stick with high-refresh-rate OLED panels across the lineup.

Performance and Software

Under the hood, all four models are expected to run on Google's latest in-house Tensor G6 chipset, which is rumored to be the company's first SoC built on TSMC's 2nm (N2) process. This upgrade should bring meaningful improvements in both performance and efficiency compared to last year's Tensor G5. The listings suggest that the 256GB variants of both Pro models will come with 12GB of RAM, while the rest will pack 16GB of RAM.

Leaks also suggest that Google is finally moving away from Samsung's Exynos modem in favor of the MediaTek M90 modem, which is expected to deliver faster download and upload speeds.

On the software side, the Pixel 11 series is expected to launch with the latest Android 17 out of the box, backed by Google's usual long-term software update promise.

Camera and Battery

On the camera, the leaked listings suggest that all Pixel 11 models, including the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold, will feature a 13MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.

As for the battery, the standard Pixel 11 is listed with a 4,985mAh battery, while the Pixel 11 Pro is expected to pack a 4,850mAh cell. The Pixel 11 Pro XL could feature the largest battery in the lineup at 5,115mAh, whereas the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is said to come with a 4,750mAh battery.
