Google's upcoming Pixel 11 lineup has reportedly been leaked ahead of its expected debut at the company's Made by Google event on August 12. The latest leak suggests that the Pixel 11 series could arrive with higher prices, larger base storage, and slight changes to battery capacity.
While Google has not officially confirmed these details, the leaked information offers an early look at what buyers might expect from the next generation of Pixel smartphones.
Pixel 11 Series Could Get a Price Hike
According to a leak shared by tipster Roland Quandt, Google may increase the prices of all Pixel 11 models while also making 256GB the new base storage option.
The expected UK prices are:
| Model | Expected Starting Price |
|---|---|
| Google Pixel 11 (256GB) | £879 |
| Google Pixel 11 Pro (256GB) | £1,079 |
| Google Pixel 11 Pro XL (256GB) | £1,279 |
For comparison, the previous generation started at lower prices with 128GB storage on several models. If the leak is accurate, Google could eliminate the 128GB option entirely across the Pixel 11 lineup.
Battery Capacity May See Minor Changes
The leak also suggests slight adjustments to battery sizes across the new series.
Expected battery capacities include:
-
Pixel 11: 4,985 mAh
-
Pixel 11 Pro: 4,850 mAh
-
Pixel 11 Pro XL: 5,115 mAh
While these differences are relatively small, some models may feature slightly lower battery capacities than their predecessors. However, battery life will also depend on software optimization and the efficiency of the new chipset.
Made by Google Event Scheduled for August 12
Google is expected to officially unveil the Pixel 11 series during its annual Made by Google event on August 12.
Alongside the new smartphones, the company is also widely expected to introduce the Pixel Watch 5, along with other hardware and AI-powered software features.
Why Prices Could Be Going Up
Recent reports suggest that increasing component and manufacturing costs may be one of the reasons behind the expected price hike. If the leaked information proves accurate, Google may offset the higher prices by offering double the base storage, making 256GB the standard across the lineup.
The Bottom Line
The Pixel 11 series is shaping up to be a significant upgrade with larger base storage and premium hardware, but buyers may also have to pay more than they did for the previous generation. Since these details are based on leaks, it's best to wait for Google's official announcement on August 12 for confirmed pricing, specifications, and availability.
