The new lineup ranges from the $899 standard Pixel 11 to the $1,899 Pixel 11 Pro Fold, driven by Tensor G6 chips and rising global hardware costs.
Tensor G6 Hardware and Global Price Hikes Across the Lineup
As the August 12 Made by Google event approaches, complete hardware specifications and US pricing for the entire Pixel 11 generation have leaked.
Every model in the new family runs on Google’s custom Tensor G6 processor and Titan M3 co-processor. Rumors suggest the Tensor G6 serves as the first chip built using TSMC’s 2nm manufacturing process. To help offset increased production costs, the base storage tier for the standard model has doubled to 256GB, though retail prices across the family have climbed by $100 compared to previous generations.
Standard Pixel 11 Trims Weight While Altering Camera Layout
The standard Pixel 11 features a 6.3-inch OLED display supporting a resolution of 2,424 x 1,080 pixels, a 60–120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. By making a slight trim to its battery down to 4,985mAh, the device reduces its weight from 204 grams to 197 grams, making it the lightest phone in the new series. It supports 30W wired charging and Qi2 wireless charging.
A major shift arrives in the photography department. According to detailed coverage from PhoneArena, the standard Pixel 11 drops its dedicated telephoto camera in favor of a dual rear setup comprising a 48-megapixel primary shooter and a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens, alongside a 10.5-megapixel front-facing camera and up to 30x Super Zoom support. The base model will start at $899 in the United States and €999 in Europe, offering configurations with either 12GB or 16GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB or 512GB.
Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL Expand Storage and Display Performance
Stepping up to the Pixel 11 Pro brings an LTPO OLED display of the same 6.3-inch size, but with a sharper resolution of 2,856 x 1,280 pixels, a 1–120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and 3,600 nits of peak brightness. Its battery capacity moves from 4,870mAh down to 4,850mAh, lowering the weight to 204 grams. The Pro model carries a triple rear camera arrangement featuring a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 48-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 48-megapixel periscope telephoto camera equipped with 5x optical zoom and 120x Pro Zoom support. US pricing for the Pixel 11 Pro starts at $1,099, while European buyers face a €1,199 tag.
Meanwhile, the larger Pixel 11 Pro XL houses a 6.8-inch LTPO OLED display running at a 1,344 x 2,992 resolution with matching peak brightness. Weighing 226 grams with a 5,115mAh battery, the Pro XL scales up wired fast charging to 45W. Crucially, the Pro XL inherits the advanced camera suite of its smaller sibling while introducing a 1TB storage tier alongside 256GB and 512GB options. The latest design leaks shared via Substack and X indicate that both Pro variants will debut in Midnight, Fog, Pine, and Dune colorways.
Pixel 11 Pro Fold Redesigns Camera Module and Raises the Ceiling
The foldable flagship, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, arrives with an 8-inch folding internal OLED display and a 6.4-inch cover display, both supporting a 120Hz refresh rate. It packs a 4,806mAh battery with 30W wired charging and Qi2 wireless support, dropping its overall weight to 239 grams. The device includes a triple camera system consisting of a 48-megapixel primary sensor, a 10.5-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 10.8-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom and 30x Super Zoom, accompanied by 10-megapixel selfie shooters on both the cover and inner displays.
Visually, the foldable departs from previous generations by adopting a double-deck camera module design reminiscent of the Z Fold 8 Ultra, featuring a square protruded base holding two additional pill-shaped optical arrays. Integrated into the power button is a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Available in Midnight Haze
and Pine
color options, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold tops the entire lineup with a starting price of $1,899 in the US and €1,999 in Europe.
