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.

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.
