Google unveiled the Pixel 11 lineup—Pixel 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro XL and 11 Pro Fold—available for pre‑order now and shipping from 20 August. The 128 GB variants have been dropped, leaving 256 GB models with 12 GB RAM instead of the 16 GB found on the 10 Series. Prices vary by region; the base 256 GB Pixel 11 starts at €999 in Europe, while the Pro XL 512 GB version tops €1,529. The new Tensor G6 chipset powers all models, but the standard Pixel 11 loses the Hi‑Light RGB LED. Battery capacity is similar to the Pixel 10, yet wireless charging speeds jump from 15 W to 25 W, and wired charging stays at 30 W.

Camera upgrades are the headline feature: the Pixel 11’s 48 MP main sensor is 1/1.56”, larger than the Pixel 10’s 1/2.0”. The 11 Pro adds a 50 MP 1/1.3” sensor, a 48 MP telephoto, and a 48 MP ultra‑wide, while the Pro XL offers a 6.8” LTPO display and 45 W wired charging. The Fold keeps the 48 MP sensor but offers a 6.5” cover display and a slimmer 10.1 mm profile, though its battery shrinks to 4,806 mAh.

Which model should you pick? The choice hinges on your priorities—price, camera power, or foldable convenience.
