The next Made by Google event is scheduled for August 12, where Google is expected to unveil the new Pixel lineup. Leaks suggest an incremental update for the Pixel 11 series, featuring a 2nm Tensor G6 chip, new color options, and a potential price increase. Four models are anticipated: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold, with designs and screen specifications largely unchanged from the Pixel 10 series.

Key upgrades may include enhanced display brightness, with the base Pixel 11 rumored to reach 3,100 nits and Pro models up to 3,600 nits. A notable rumored feature is 'Pixel Glow,' an RGB LED array near the camera bar for notifications and Gemini interaction. Under the hood, the Tensor G6 chip, reportedly built on a 2nm process, promises better efficiency and performance. Camera hardware might see a slight boost with a 50-megapixel main sensor for the base and Fold models.

Storage options for the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro may start at 256GB, with effective price increases. The Pro XL and Fold models could see direct price hikes of around €100. The Pixel Watch 5 is also expected, with new colors and watch faces, but likely an incremental hardware update and a price increase, with the 41mm model possibly costing $399 and the 45mm model $429.
