Google releases the new Pixel 11 phone series

On August 12, 2026, Google officially launched the highly anticipated Pixel 11 series, continuing its commitment to a multi-device strategy.

This lineup features four unique models: the standard Pixel 11, the Pro, the Pro XL, and the innovative Pro Fold.

All devices boast a sleek design with edge-to-edge glass and a durable metal frame.

Powering these phones is the new Tensor G6 chip, which delivers significant performance improvements, including 25% faster browsing and 20% better power efficiency.

The series runs on the new Android 17 operating system.

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the enhanced computational photography tools, such as the ultra-fast Instant Night Sight and a impressive 120x Pro Zoom.

Additionally, the integration of on-device Gemini AI allows for smoother, lower-latency experiences like live translations.

Alongside the phones, Google introduced the Pixel Watch 5, new Pixel Buds, and the Pixel Tag tracker.

While base storage has increased to 256GB across the main models, the starting price for the Pro XL and Pro Fold has seen a modest $100 increase.

The Pixel 11 series hit store shelves on August 20, 2026, marking a new chapter for the Google hardware ecosystem.
