Google Sets August 12 Made by Google Event for Pixel 11 Reveal

The invitation raises the prospect of bigger base storage and new chipset and modem choices that could lift entry prices.

Overview

  • Google sent press invites Tuesday confirming a Made by Google hardware event in New York on August 12 at 6 p.m. ET where it plans to show “the next generation of Pixel.”
  • Industry leaks and reporting say Google is likely to present four Pixel 11 models — Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold — plus a Pixel Watch 5, but those product lists remain unconfirmed by Google.
  • Multiple reports claim the phones will use a new Tensor G6 system-on-chip described as a 2nm TSMC design and may switch to a MediaTek M90 modem, which would mark a supply‑chain change if true.
  • A widely circulated Dealabs retail leak says Google would drop 128GB base models and make 256GB the new starting tier, with European entry pricing reported around €999 for the base Pixel 11, though Google has not verified prices or storage tiers.
  • Memory cost pressures have prompted other makers to raise base storage this year and Google typically begins sales within days of its August launches, so a move to 256GB would raise buyers’ short‑term costs while likely leaving room for post‑launch discounts.
