When is the Google Pixel 11 Pro launching?
Google has already sent out media invites for its Made by Google event. According to the invite, the event is scheduled for Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 6 p.m. Eastern Time in New York City. That would be early morning on August 13 for Indian audiences.
At this event, Google will unveil the phone, and it will present the specifications and price of Pixel phones. However, please note that the date of the event is not the release date of the phone.
When Will the Pixel Be Available for Purchase?
According to leaked retail listings, the Pixel 11 Pro is set to launch in early August 2026, with pre-orders opening right away on the day of the event, August 12, 2026. This is standard for Pixel phones.
This year, however, seems to be an exception, as Google has a habit of delaying the release of its foldable phone each year, while this year, the leaks suggest that the Pixel 11 Pro Fold may very well launch on the same day as the regular Pixel 11 Pro, August 20th, 2026
When Will the Pixel 11 Pro XL Be Released?
Same goes for the Pixel 11 Pro XL, as it is set to launch with the Pixel 11 Pro on August 12th, 2026, with a retail release date of August 20th, 2026.
How much will the Google Pixel 11 Pro Cost?
It goes without saying that this is the question most eager to receive an answer, and the unfortunate truth is, Google has not officially announced pricing yet. All of the information below was pulled from a rather surprising source.
Back in early July 2026, Google's Amazon.com storefront had a rather embarrassing mishap where it accidentally leaked the product listings for the entirety of Pixel 11 series, complete with pricing, storage options, colors and battery sizes for all four phones before pulling them down shortly after, with a select few tech outlets, including Android Central, managing to capture a picture of the listings for the public's consumption.
As it came directly from Google's website, the information is rather reliable.
Leaked Pixel 11 Pro Pricing
| Region | Expected Starting Price |
|---|---|
| United States | Around $1,099 |
| Europe | Around €1,199 |
| United Kingdom | Around £1,079 |
| India | Not yet estimated |
If this price is final, then this would be a significant hike over last year's Pixel 10 Pro, which started at $999. A $100 increase may not seem like much, but for a phone in this segment, this is a considerable jump that will certainly turn some heads.
Google has yet to share pricing details for India and other emerging markets, so we are expecting an update in due time since the company typically shares it either on launch day or within days of the launch.

Pixel 11 Pro specs: what to expect (based on leaks)
It is hard to say right now what changes Google is going to make, since most of the information is still under wraps for the upcoming launch. However, there is plenty of leaks that give us a general idea of what to expect from Pixel 11 Pro
a) Processor
It is likely that the Pixel 11 series will receive a new Tensor G6 processor and a MediaTek M90 modem, which would be a successor to the Tensor G5 used in Pixel 10 Pro.
b) Storage
The leak suggests that the entry-level storage option of Pixel 11 will be 256 GB, in contrast to the previous iteration that had 64 GB as the lowest. This is great news for those who tend to fill their phones with photos and videos, as there is now more room for apps.
c) Camera
Upgrades to the cameras are usually the highlight of the Pixel phone series. Although they might not be as prominent as in previous years, there are leaks suggesting the new Pixel 11 Pro will have a new telephoto camera with a higher magnification that was not seen in any of the Pixel series before. These leaks are considered to be less reliable, so further information might change some of the following details.
Although hardware changes in Pixel 11 seem to be modest, there is likely to see a big update in the software and AI performance. Pixel 10 Pro did not get any significant hardware upgrades, instead focusing on the improvements to the photography algorithms and features. It is likely that Pixel 11 Pro will take a similar approach to the new features and update the core algorithms for computational photography as well. This could mean that we might be able to see announcements related to 8K video recording in Pixel 11 Pro.
d) Software features
There are a few leaks concerning additional features that are likely to appear in the Pixel 11. One of the recent leaks suggests that there will be a new type of alert called HiLight or Pixel Glow (the name is not confirmed yet) that will control the appearance of notifications and live updates shown on the phone.
e) Design and colors
The leaked case molds suggest only subtle changes from the previous generation. The bar that houses the camera is likely to stay the same, however, perhaps in a slightly narrower design. The Pixel 11 Pro XL is likely to keep the same display size as its predecessor, at around 6,8 inches. The materials are also speculated to be the same as in the Pixel 10 Pro, with glass on the front and sides, and metal at the back.
As for the colors, it is expected that Pixel 11 Pro will have Moonstone, Jade, Porcelain, and Obsidian colors; however, some reports suggest that Obsidian and Porcelain might be available as the standard black and white color options.
It is important to note that these leaks are mostly unconfirmed reports, so some of the details might change by the time Pixel 11 Pro officially launches.
Pixel 11 Pro vs. Pixel 11 Pro XL vs. Pixel 11 Pro Fold
Google is set to release four smartphones this year, including the regular Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the larger Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Below are the differences between the Pro models.
| Feature | Pixel 11 Pro | Pixel 11 Pro XL | Pixel 11 Pro Fold |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screen size | ~6.3 inches | ~6.8 inches | Larger foldable display |
| Starting price (leaked) | ~$1,099 | Higher than Pro | Highest in lineup |
| Release date | August 20, 2026 | August 20, 2026 | Possibly August 20, 2026 |
| Chip | Tensor G6 | Tensor G6 | Tensor G6 (expected) |
The most intriguing change here is the introduction of the Fold. Previously, Google would roll out its foldable device some weeks or even months later than its other handsets. If they do release the Fold on the same day as the other phones, it will be the first time they've unveiled their phone lineup as a whole at once.
