Overview
- Google has scheduled its Made by Google hardware keynote and same‑day preorders for Wednesday, August 12, with the Google Store countdown and multiple outlets confirming the timing.
- A Geekbench entry and multiple recent leaks identify the Pixel 11 Pro XL as using Google’s new Tensor G6 and running Android 17, with benchmarked scores and a listing that shows roughly 16GB of RAM on that specific unit but not yet confirmed for all models.
- Leaks and hands‑on images show Pro models with a built‑in multicolored rear LED called HiLight (previously Pixel Glow) integrated into the camera bar and a refreshed set of colorways.
- Several retailer listings and leak reports indicate Google may make 256GB the base storage tier and launch the lineup at higher prices than the Pixel 10 series, though final US and regional pricing remain unconfirmed.
- Key gaps remain on RAM tiers, battery sizes and exact modem and GPU details, and Google’s keynote and Google Store preorder pages on August 12 will be the first official sources to resolve those differences and set ship dates.
