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.
