Pixel 11 release date & timeline

Expected to launch in August 2026, alongside the Pixel 11 Pro, Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

Historically, Pixel phones have been unveiled in the summer, so this timeline seems plausible.

No concrete leaks on pricing yet, but it's likely to remain similar to the Pixel 10, starting at $799.

Expect trade-in discounts and deals from carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.

Expected camera setup: 48 MP main, 13 MP ultra-wide, 10.8 MP 5x telephoto.

Leaked specs suggest AI-powered enhancements and potentially a Cinematic Blur mode.

Potentially starting with 128 GB of storage, a bump from the Pixel 10's base 256 GB.

Rumors are unclear on this aspect, but it wouldn't be a shock given the new standard with the iPhone 17.

Not expected to be a major redesign, likely keeping the camera bar and introducing fresh colors.

Renders should provide more insight soon.

Expected to retain the 6.3-inch size from the Pixel 10, with potentially improved peak brightness.

Bezel thickness may remain similar to the non-Pro models.

No word on a battery upgrade, but the Pixel 10's already impressive 5,000 mAh cell and Qi2 support are likely to carry over.

This would make the Pixel 11 a strong competitor in battery life.

Expected to run on Android 17 with a focus on generative AI features and enhancements to existing capabilities.

Features like Magic Cue, Voice Translate, and Camera Coach may return with improvements.

Rumored specs: 2nm Tensor G6 processor, 12 GB RAM, around 5,000 mAh battery, 128/256 GB storage, and a 48 MP main camera.

Mediatek's 5G modem is said to be integrated for improved efficiency.
