Google is set to unveil the Pixel 11 Pro on August 12, 2026, at the Made by Google event in New York City. The phone has not been officially announced yet, but sources and early listings have revealed much of what to expect, including pricing, specifications, colour options, and likely retail availability.

This guide covers everything that has been confirmed or credibly reported so far. In short, the Pixel 11 Pro is expected to feature a faster 2nm chip, a new modem that should address Pixel’s long-running connectivity issues, a brighter display, and a camera system with longer zoom reach than before. The main tradeoffs appear to be a slightly smaller battery, a reduced RAM configuration on the base model, and a higher starting price that Google attributes to a global spike in memory costs.

When is the Google Pixel 11 Pro coming out?

Google has officially confirmed the Made by Google event for Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 6 PM ET (11 PM WAT) in New York City. That event date is confirmed; the other dates below come from leaks.

Key dates at a glance:

Announcement: August 12, 2026 at 6 PM ET / 3 PM PT

Pre-orders open: August 12, 2026, from the Google Store and select retailers (semi-confirmed)

On sale: August 20, 2026, according to leaker billbil-kun via Dealabs

The Pixel 11 Pro is expected to launch alongside the standard Pixel 11, the Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the Pixel Watch 5. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is expected to arrive later, likely around October, based on Google’s launch pattern with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold last year.

Google is also offering promo codes to anyone who signs up for Google marketing emails before August 7, redeemable on the Google Store from August 12.

Google Pixel 11 Pro detailed specs

Nothing below is official yet. Google is expected to confirm the full specification sheet on August 12. Until then, the following details reflect the most credible leaks and reports.

• 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED
• 2,856 x 1,280 resolution
• Adaptive 1 to 120Hz refresh rate
• Peak brightness: 3,600 nits (HDR full-screen: 2,450 nits)
• 240Hz PWM dimming
• Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2
• Panel: Samsung M16 OLED (via ETNews, reported by Android Headlines)

Some early listings claimed 144Hz, but named sources including Android Authority, Android Headlines, GSMArena, and Digital Trends all report 120Hz. The 120Hz figure appears to be the credible one.

On brightness, some reports cited 2,450 nits as the peak figure, but that is the full-screen HDR value rather than the maximum peak. The raw leak data shows both numbers: 2,450 nits for HDR and 3,600 nits peak brightness. Digital Trends and Android Headlines both describe 3,600 nits as the display upgrade from the Pixel 10 Pro’s 3,300 nits.

• Chip: Google Tensor G6, built on TSMC’s 2nm process
• CPU: 7-core (1x Arm C1-Ultra at 4.11GHz, 4x C1-Pro at 3.38GHz, 2x C1-Pro efficiency at 2.65GHz)
• GPU: PowerVR
• Security: Titan M3 coprocessor
• Modem: MediaTek M90 (MT6986D), replacing Samsung’s Exynos modem
• RAM: 12GB on the 256GB model, 16GB on the 512GB and 1TB models

The modem change is the most significant under-the-hood upgrade. FCC filings confirm MediaTek hardware across all five Pixel 11 models. The MediaTek M90 supports up to 12Gbps 5G, dual-active 5G SIMs, satellite connectivity, and improved power efficiency. That would directly address the signal and battery drain issues that Exynos-modem Pixels have faced for years.

The 12GB RAM configuration on the base model marks a downgrade from the Pixel 10 Pro, which offered 16GB across all tiers. Google has publicly said that this change reflects a near-sixfold increase in RAM costs.

• 256GB
• 512GB
• 1TB (restricted to Midnight Haze color only)

The 128GB tier is no longer available, making 256GB the new base. The 1TB option is supported by billbil-kun’s Dealabs leak and the accidental Amazon listing. Android Headlines’ spec sheet only listed two tiers, but the three-tier interpretation is better supported overall.

Rear cameras:

• 50MP main camera (new “bastet” sensor)
• 48MP ultrawide with macro support (Sony IMX858)
• 48MP periscope telephoto (new “barghest” sensor, 5x optical zoom, up to 120x digital zoom)
• Optical-quality zoom steps at 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 5x, and 10x

Front camera:

• Most credibly 13MP

There is a genuine conflict around the selfie camera. The accidental Amazon listing, reported by Droid-Life, Android Central, GSMArena, and Android Authority, lists a 13MP front camera. Android Headlines’ spec sheet lists 42MP at f/2.2 with a 103-degree field of view, which matches the Pixel 10 Pro’s current front camera. Android Central specifically says the Pixel 11 Pro “ditches the 42MP selfie camera for a 13MP.” For now, 13MP is the more credible reading.

AI camera features:

• Night Sight Video, an on-device low-light video feature targeting roughly 5 to 10 lux
• 4K/30fps Cinematic Blur with AI video relighting
• Cinematic Rendering Engine in the Tensor G6 ISP, reportedly reducing blur-recording power draw by close to 40%
• “Speak-to-Tweak” voice photo editing
• Camera Coach upgrade, simultaneous photo and video capture, and a 120x “moon shot” mode

Battery: approximately 4,850mAh typical capacity (4,707mAh minimum)

Wired charging: 30W USB-C PPS

Wireless charging: Qi2 (15W)

A few early listings said 5,000mAh, but 4,850mAh is the consensus across Android Headlines, Digital Trends, and GSMArena. That would be a slight decrease from the Pixel 10 Pro’s 4,870mAh battery. On wired charging, PhoneArena and Android Authority mentioned a possible 45W upgrade, but that figure appears to apply to the larger Pixel 11 Pro XL. The Pixel 11 Pro is expected to remain at 30W.

• Dimensions: approximately 152.7 x 71.9 x 8.4mm
• Weight: approximately 204g
• IP68 dust and water resistance
• Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front

The design is described as a refinement of the Pixel 10 Pro rather than a full redesign. The camera bar keeps its familiar shape, but it now reportedly has a uniform all-glass, matte-black finish across all colors, replacing the previous two-tone metal look. Bezels are also said to be slimmer.

The most notable new design element is the “Pixel Glow” RGB LED array built into the camera bar next to the flash. Google may market it as “HiLight,” according to 9to5Google. It replaces the temperature sensor from the Pixel 10 Pro and functions as a notification light and Gemini interaction indicator, for example lighting up in a specific color when a favorite contact calls or while speaking to Gemini hands-free.

Some low-quality listings claimed IP69, but Android Headlines and Digital Trends both report IP68. IP68 is the credible rating.

• Android 17 out of the box
• 7 years of OS and security updates
• Deep Gemini AI integration across the phone
• 5G (sub-6GHz and mmWave) via MediaTek M90 modem
• Satellite connectivity
• Wi-Fi 6E
• Bluetooth 6.0
• NFC, UWB, and Thread (Pro-exclusive per FCC filings)
• USB-C
• In-display fingerprint scanner
• Face unlock via selfie camera
• IR face unlock (Project Toscana) is reportedly not coming to the Pixel 11 series

How much will the Google Pixel 11 Pro cost?

All prices below come from sources. Nothing is official until August 12.

Source: accidental Amazon listing, reported by Droid-Life and corroborated by Android Central, GSMArena, and Android Authority.

• 256GB (12GB RAM): $1,099
• 512GB (16GB RAM): $1,219
• 1TB (16GB RAM): $1,449

Droid-Life notes that the per-tier pricing matches what the Pixel 10 Pro cost at those storage levels. The real change is the removal of the old $999 128GB entry point. The Pixel 11 Pro now starts at $1,099.

• 256GB: £1,079
• 512GB: £1,199
• 1TB: £1,429

• 256GB: €1,199
• 512GB: €1,329
• 1TB: €1,589

Prices in the UK and EU are roughly £80 and €100 higher than the Pixel 10 Pro, respectively. Google Vice President of Devices and Services Shakil Barkat confirmed the increases in an interview with 9to5Google on July 24, 2026. He pointed to Morgan Stanley analyst Shawn Kim’s data showing the cost of 1GB of LPDDR5X RAM rising from $2.80 in 2025 to roughly $12 in 2026. That pushes a 16GB memory package from about $45 to roughly $192 per device. Barkat said Google “shielded our consumers from supply fluctuations for as long as possible” but that “the economics have fundamentally shifted.” IDC expects average smartphone prices to rise 3% to 5% globally in 2026. Google plans to use trade-in deals, promotions, and bundled Google One offers to offset the higher prices.

What colours does the Google Pixel 11 Pro come in?

Four colours have been leaked by billbil-kun, and early images from OnLeaks, Evan Blass, and MyMobiles provide a first look at each shade. None of these are official until August 12.

• Dune: a warm coral-copper pink with a champagne-toned glossy frame. This is likely the standout colour, tied to the gold frame shown in Google’s official event invite.
• Light Fog: a pale near-white finish with a silver frame
• Midnight Haze: matte black with a powder-coated, non-glossy frame. This is the only colour available with the 1TB storage option.
• Pine: a muted green with a polished gold frame

The Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL are expected to share the same four colourways.
