Overview
- Google has scheduled a Made By Google launch for Aug. 12 in New York where it will reveal the Pixel 11 family and open same-day preorders.
- Company teasers have officially shown a multicolored rear notification light called HiLight or Pixel Glow that sits in the camera bar and will be a visible new hardware feature.
- Multiple leaks and retailer listings converge on a next-generation Tensor G6 chip and a move to MediaTek modem hardware but those component choices and manufacturing details remain unconfirmed.
- Reports from retailer listings and leaks put starting prices well above last year with many sources showing a base 256GB entry and a Pixel 11 Pro Fold starting near $1,899 for the 256GB model.
- Leaked Pixel 11 Pro Fold specs describe an approximately 8-inch inner OLED, a slimmer folded chassis, 256–1TB storage tiers, and a smaller battery around 4,650–4,750mAh, raising concerns about tradeoffs between performance, battery life and later availability for the foldable.
