One of the biggest questions surrounding the Pixel 11 series is pricing, which could increase due to rising RAM and memory costs. <\/p>\n

\nGoogle Pixel 10 series<\/p>\n

In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year.<\/p>\n

The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don\u2019t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features.<\/p>\n

Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut:<\/p>\n

When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled?<\/p>\n

The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series<\/a> and Pixel 10 series<\/a>) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

How much will the Pixel 11 series cost?<\/p>\n

Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply<\/a>, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said <\/a>that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive<\/a>. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year\u2019s pricing structure, here\u2019s what the lineup could cost:<\/p>\n

\tPixel 11: $799
\n\tPixel 11 Pro: $999
\n\tPixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199
\n\tPixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799<\/p>\n

Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM.<\/p>\n

Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs:<\/p>\n

We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup.<\/p>\n

The Pixel 11 series won\u2019t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence<\/a>. However, a patent filed by Google<\/a> suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.<\/p>\n

Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year\u2019s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google.<\/p>\n

The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series<\/a>, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup<\/a> is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.<\/p>\n
