Google’s upcoming August launch event has lost much of its mystery after an apparent retail slip-up briefly exposed the US pricing and hardware specifications for the entire Pixel 11 family. The biggest takeaway from the leak is that Google seems to be phasing out the entry-level 128GB storage configuration entirely. While this means buyers will get double the starting storage at 256GB as the new baseline, it also drives the barrier to entry higher. The base Pixel 11 will reportedly start at $899, while the compact Pixel 11 Pro is slated to debut at $1,099. Those eyeing the larger Pixel 11 Pro XL will have to shell out at least $1,299, and the next-generation foldable, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, is set to start at a staggering $1,899.
Beyond the sticker shock, the leaked listings also confirmed several key specs. The standard Pixel 11 is listed with a 6.3-inch 120Hz OLED display, a beefy 4,985mAh battery, and a 13-megapixel selfie camera. Meanwhile, the Pro models will feature upgraded memory configurations, offering 12GB of RAM on the 256GB base models and scaling up to 16GB of RAM on higher storage tiers to better support demanding on-device Gemini AI tasks. Under the hood, the entire lineup is heavily rumored to transition to TSMC’s highly efficient 2nm Tensor G6 chip. This processor upgrade, paired with a long-awaited transition to a MediaTek modem, should finally put the Pixel’s notorious battery drain and cellular connectivity issues to bed. With these major internal upgrades, Google is positioning the Pixel 11 series as a premium powerhouse, even if it means users have to pay a bit more upfront.
