Google Pixel 11 Series Poised for August Debut With Four Models and Pixel Glow

Google is gearing up for an August 12, 2026 launch of the Pixel 11 lineup, which includes four models: Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Prices are rumored at $799, $999, $1,199, and $1,799, with European price bumps expected for the Pro XL and Fold. The phones reportedly feature a refined camera bar, a new Pixel Glow lighting system, and a Tensor G6 on a 2nm process, plus a switch to a MediaTek modem for the Pro Fold. RAM options could range from 8/12GB on the base and 12/16GB on Pro/XL, with displays from 6.3 to 6.8 inches and high brightness, 1–120Hz refresh, and 240Hz PWM. A notable change is the removal of the rear temperature sensor on some models, and leaks suggest a possible 50MP main camera sensor, while FCC listings hint at modem details.
