Google Pixel 11 Series Launches With New AI, Camera and Performance Upgrades

Google has launched four new phones on August 12, 2026: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. All four run on a brand-new chip and bring real camera and design upgrades over last year’s models. Here’s what changed, and what each phone costs.

What’s New Across the Whole Lineup

  • New Tensor G6 chip powers all four phones. It’s Google’s first chip built on a smaller, more advanced 2nm process.
  • HiLight is a new light feature on the Pro models. It sits next to the camera and glows to show you things like an incoming call from a favorite contact, or when Gemini is listening and responding, without you needing to look at your screen.
  • Bigger starting storage. All models now start at 256GB, up from 128GB on some Pixel 10 models.
  • Seven years of updates. Every Pixel 11 phone gets seven years of OS, security, and Pixel Drop updates.

Official Prices

Here’s what Google is charging in a few major markets, for the base storage option:

Phone US UK EU
Pixel 11 (256GB) $900 £880 €1,000
Pixel 11 Pro (256GB) $1,100 £1,080 €1,200
Pixel 11 Pro XL (256GB) $1,300 £1,280 €1,400
Pixel 11 Pro Fold (512GB) $2,020 £1,920 €2,130

Note: the Pro Fold doesn’t come in a 256GB option, so its listed starting price is for the 512GB model.

What About Pakistan?

Google does not sell Pixel phones through an official store in Pakistan. That means there’s no official PKR price for the Pixel 11 series right now. If you see a Pixel 11 for sale locally, it’s coming through an importer, and pricing will depend on that seller, taxes, and shipping, not Google’s own pricing.

When Can You Buy It

Pre-orders for all four phones opened on August 12, 2026, the same day they were announced. They’ll be available in stores and shipping to buyers starting August 20, 2026.
