Google has officially scheduled its Pixel 11 series launch for August 12, 2026 in New York City at 6 PM local time. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg posted the invite on X, confirming the event falls one day after a widely circulated rumor had predicted. The timing translates to 3 PM in Los Angeles, 11 PM in London, and early morning hours across Europe and India on August 13.

European pricing details have also leaked ahead of the announcement. The standard Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro will reportedly start at 256 GB of storage for the same launch prices as their predecessors. However, the Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold are slated for a €100 increase across all storage tiers. Whether Google mirrors that hike in the U.S. and other regions remains unconfirmed.

The August date marks a continued shift earlier in the calendar for Google's flagship hardware, which historically debuted in October. Moving the launch up gives the company more breathing room ahead of the holiday shopping season and positions the Pixel 11 line against Apple's typical September iPhone refresh. The foldable price bump also signals Google's intent to push Pixel 11 Pro Fold further into premium territory.
