Pixel 11, 11 Pro, Pro XL prices leak ahead of August 12 launch: Check full specs

Google's upcoming Pixel 11 series has leaked in full, revealing prices, specifications, and storage options ahead of its August 12 launch. The new lineup could bring higher prices, bigger base storage, and the new Tensor G6 chip. Here are the details.

In Short

• Pixel 11 could start at $899 with 256GB base storage
• All Pixel 11 models are tipped to feature Google's new Tensor G6 chipset
• The Pro models may get 12GB base RAM despite expected price hike

Google is just days away from unveiling its next-generation Pixel smartphones, but a fresh leak has already revealed what could be the complete picture. The upcoming Pixel 11 lineup, expected to launch at the Made by Google event on August 12, has reportedly leaked with detailed specifications and pricing for all four models — the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. If the leak turns out to be accurate, buyers may have to pay more this year. However, the higher prices could come with larger base storage, the new Tensor G6 processor, and a few hardware upgrades across the lineup.

Pixel 11 could cost more but offer bigger storage

The biggest change appears to be the pricing. According to Android Headlines, the standard Pixel 11 will start at $899 (around Rs 85,800) instead of $799. The good news is that Google may finally drop the 128GB base storage, with the entry-level model reportedly starting at 256GB.

The Pixel 11 is said to feature a 6.3-inch OLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. Powering the phone will reportedly be Google's new Tensor G6 chipset alongside the Titan M3 security chip. It could pack a 4,985mAh battery with support for 30W wired and Qi2 wireless charging.

On the camera front, the regular Pixel 11 may switch to a dual rear camera setup, featuring a 48-megapixel primary sensor and a 13-megapixel ultrawide camera. Unlike the previous generation, the telephoto camera is reportedly being dropped from the base model.

Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL: Familiar cameras, higher prices

The Pixel 11 Pro is tipped to start at $1,099 (roughly Rs 1,04,600), while the larger Pixel 11 Pro XL could begin at $1,299 (around Rs 1,23,600). Both devices are expected to run on the Tensor G6 processor and continue with Google's premium camera system.

The Pixel 11 Pro is rumoured to feature a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display with up to 3,600 nits brightness, while the Pro XL could offer a larger 6.8-inch LTPO OLED panel. Both phones are expected to support a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate.

Interestingly, despite the price increase, both Pro models are tipped to start with 12GB RAM, whereas the current Pixel 10 Pro lineup launched with 16GB RAM. Higher storage variants are expected to retain 16GB RAM, with storage options going up to 1TB on the Pro XL.

The camera hardware is expected to remain largely unchanged, including a 50-megapixel main sensor, 48-megapixel ultrawide camera, and 48-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. The Pro XL is also expected to pack the biggest battery in the lineup at 5,115mAh and support faster 45W wired charging.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is also expected to receive a price hike, with the foldable reportedly starting at $1,899 (roughly Rs 1,80,700). It is tipped to feature an 8-inch foldable OLED display, a 6.4-inch cover screen, Tensor G6 chipset, up to 1TB storage, and a 4,806mAh battery.

While these specifications paint a detailed picture of Google's upcoming flagship lineup, it is worth remembering that Google has not officially confirmed any of these details. The company is expected to announce the Pixel 11 series at its Made by Google event on August 12, when the final specifications, pricing, and India availability will be revealed.

For Indian buyers, the leaked US price hikes could also hint at higher launch prices. For reference, the Pixel 10 launched in India at Rs 79,999, the Pixel 10 Pro at Rs 1,09,999, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL at Rs 1,24,999. If Google follows a similar pricing strategy globally, the Pixel 11 series could arrive in India with a noticeable increase over last year's models. It is worth noting that most of the smartphone companies like Apple, Xiaomi, OnePlus and Samsung are increasing prices of their phones in India, so Google isn't expected to take a step back. So, people who have been waiting for the new Pixel phones should be prepared for the higher prices than last year's models.
