Overview
- Pre-orders for the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold are live and units are scheduled to begin shipping around August 20.
- All four phones use Google’s new Tensor G6 chip, and Google set 256GB as the minimum storage across the lineup while moving Pro base RAM to 12GB and keeping 16GB for the Fold.
- The Pixel 11 Pro models add a HiLight RGB LED notification ring and upgraded main and telephoto cameras, while the Pro Fold is thinner and lighter but uses a smaller 4,806mAh battery than last year’s Fold.
- Reporting indicates Tensor G6 now pairs with a MediaTek modem to address past connectivity and battery complaints, though Google has not published full modem sourcing details.
- Retailers and accessory makers have reacted quickly: official Pixelsnap and many third‑party cases and screen protectors are available now, and retailers are offering pre‑order incentives such as gift cards, trade‑in bonuses or a Pixel Watch 5 with purchase.
