The Pixel 11 lineup’s unveiling is right around the corner, scheduled for August 12, 2026. We've had plenty of leaks recently about the devices Google has planned for the event, and soon we’ll finally hear how truthful those leaks were.
We expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11, the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL, its foldable Pixel 11 Pro Fold, and its new smartwatch, the Pixel Watch 5, during the event. Here’s how to watch it and what we know so far about the devices.
Made by Google 2026: How to watch
As usual, Google will hold an in-person event in New York that will be livestreamed on YouTube. The event will take place on August 12, 2026, at 3 pm PT/6 pm ET.
The vanilla Pixel 11 is reportedly powered by a rumored 2nm Tensor G6 chip and a new MediaTek 5G modem, accompanied by potential upgrades to an advanced M16 OLED display panel.
Base storage is rumored to start at 256GB instead of 128GB, while battery capacity is expected to hover near its predecessor at roughly 4,985 mAh.
Design-wise, leaks suggest the physical dimensions and 6.3-inch screen size will remain largely unchanged, though CAD schematics point to slightly thinner bezels, an all-black camera bar, and four rumored color options: gray, black, pink, and green.
The base model's camera setup is rumored to feature a dual configuration consisting of a new 50 MP main sensor and a 13 MP ultra-wide lens, with leaks indicating the dedicated telephoto lens may be removed.

On the software side, the device is anticipated to ship with Android 17, introduce Gemini Intelligence features, and potentially include a "Pixel Glow" LED notification array on the back.
Due to rising component costs, pricing is widely rumored to increase by roughly €100 in Europe, with US baseline pricing anticipated to land at $899 for the 256GB model.

The larger Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL are expected to share the same 2nm Tensor G6 architecture and Titan M3 security coprocessor, paired with rumored upgrades to an advanced M16 OLED display panel.
Base storage configurations are rumored to shift to 256GB, while RAM options are anticipated to start at 12GB for the entry tier and scale up to 16GB on higher storage models. Estimated battery capacities hover around 4,850 mAh for the Pro and 5,115 mAh for the larger Pro XL.
Design leaks indicate that both Pro models will retain familiar 6.3-inch and 6.8-inch display sizes while implementing slight footprint trims that narrow the bezels.
Exterior changes reportedly include a slimmer, all-black camera bar and four color options: Light Fog, Midnight Haze, Dune, and Pine. The camera systems are rumored to feature a 50 MP main sensor, a 48 MP ultra-wide lens, a 48 MP periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, and a 42 MP front-facing camera.
Due to component cost pressures, European leaks point to a roughly €100 price increase, with US baseline pricing expected to start at $1,099 for the Pixel 11 Pro and $1,299 for the Pro XL at the 256GB starting tier.

Google's next-generation book-style foldable is anticipated to feature a slimmer profile – measuring roughly 10.1mm when folded – while keeping the familiar 6.4-inch outer cover and 8.0-inch internal display sizes.
Design leaks highlight a refined, shaved-down camera bar featuring a more curved pill-shaped cutout that tucks the microphone and flash inside, with Pine and Midnight Haze rounding out the rumored color options.
Under the hood, the device is rumored to house the 2nm Tensor G6 chip paired with 16GB of RAM and a Titan M3 security coprocessor, alongside potential M16 display panel upgrades for both screens.
The camera system is expected to carry over a three-lens setup – a 48 MP main sensor, a 10.5 MP ultra-wide, and a 10.8 MP 5x telephoto – complemented by dual 10 MP selfie cameras.
Software-wise, the foldable will reportedly run Android 17 with Gemini Intelligence automation tools, while European pricing leaks suggest a starting tier of €1,999 for 256GB ahead of the official August 12 reveal.

Google's next-generation smartwatch is expected to retain the familiar circular design and 41mm and 45mm sizing options of its predecessor, while trimming bezels down around a bright Actua 360 LTPO AMOLED display.
Under the hood, leaks point to a refined Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 "Accelerated" processor – keeping custom Tensor silicon off the table for now – paired with a doubled storage capacity of 64GB. Battery capacities are rumored to see modest bumps to 332mAh for the 41mm model and 465mAh for the 45mm variant.
On the software side, the wearable is anticipated to ship with Wear OS 7, integrate advanced Fitbit health tracking tools alongside AI-driven fitness coaching, and introduce features like "Phone to Watch Unlock." Component cost pressures are rumored to push pricing slightly higher, with baseline models anticipated to start around $399 ahead of the official August 12 reveal.
