Rising memory costs are expected to push European Pixel prices higher.

Overview

  • Google confirmed a Made by Google hardware event on August 12 in New York where the company is expected to unveil the next Pixel family and Pixel Watch 5.
  • Multiple supply‑chain leaks published July 7 report that Google will eliminate 128GB as the entry tier and make 256GB the minimum storage across the Pixel 11 lineup.
  • A leaked European price sheet reproduced by several outlets shows many Pixel 11 configurations roughly €100 higher than last year, with specific model and storage price listings.
