A new leak reveals that Google is probably raising Pixel 11 series prices, finally ditching the 128GB storage option, and also aiming for a release date in August.

Dealabs reports that Google Pixel 11, like virtually every other new tech product, is getting a price hike when it launches.

Sort of.

This report claims that Google is finally ditching the base 128GB storage tier, instead offering 256GB as the lowest tier and going to 512GB and 1TB beyond that.

But, as such, pricing will also go up. This report includes pricing for Europe, where all Pixel 11 configurations will be going up by €100, give or take.

Here’s how the storage options and pricing break down:

Pixel 11Pixel 11 ProPixel 11 Pro XLPixel 11 Pro Fold
256GB€999/£879€1,199/£1,079€1,399/£1,279€1,999/£1,799
512GB€1,129/£999€1,329/£1,199€1,529/£1,399€2,129/£1,919
1TBX€1,589/£1,429€1,789/£1,629€2,389/£2,149

Oof.

The Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro are essentially following in the footsteps of the Pixel 10 Pro XL last year, with a “price hike” that matches that of the prior generation’s higher storage configuration. The 128GB models of those devices started at €899 and €1,099, respectively. But Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold are both just getting normal €100 price hikes.

Inevitable given “RAMageddon,” but painful nonetheless – especially when you remember that Google is one of the companies that’s directly playing a role in this whole problem alongside other big names in AI.

A previous leak claimed that Google might lessen RAM in some configurations, but there’s no mention of that in this new report.

Also mentioned here are the color options for the Pixel 11 series, using what appears to be their final, public-facing names. These include:

  • Pixel 11: Light Sterling, Midnight Haze, Fuchsia, Moss
  • Pixel 11 Pro: Light Fog, Midnight Haze, Dune, Pine
  • Pixel 11 Pro XL: Light Fog, Midnight Haze, Dune, Pine
  • Pixel 11 Pro Fold: Midnight Haze, Pine
The 1TB versions, notably, are said to only be offered in “Midnight Haze,” which is this year’s black color. “Dune” is said to be a pink color.

The report ends with a mention of the Pixel 11’s release date – August 20. That would be following a launch date (i.e. Google’s event) that’s claimed to take place “around” August 11.

What do you think of these higher prices for the Pixel 11 series?

If there’s been one guarantee in the mobile tech world in 2026, it’s that phones are getting more expensive. Samsung raised prices with the Galaxy S26 series at the start of the year. Motorola recently jacked up prices for all of its new 2026 Razr models. Now, according to a new report, Google will follow suit with the Pixel 11 series next month.

The report cites a €100 price increase across the entire Pixel 11 lineup in Europe, which could very well translate to a $100 price bump in the US — from the base Pixel 11 up to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

Higher prices were almost a given, considering the current global economy, but this still stings. Combined with what we know about the Pixel 11 lineup and how the phones will stack up alongside Google’s current Pixel portfolio, I don’t think this is “just” a $100 price hike. I think it’s a serious blow to an already troubled new generation of Pixels.

Problematic price hikes​

Assuming this report is true, and the higher EU prices translate similarly to the US, what might the Pixel 11 series pricing look like? Here’s the full breakdown of the potential new starting prices:

  • $799 Pixel 10 -> $899 Pixel 11
  • $999 Pixel 10 Pro -> $1,099 Pixel 11 Pro
  • $1,199 Pixel 10 Pro XL -> $1,299 Pixel 11 Pro XL
  • $1,799 Pixel 10 Pro Fold -> $1,899 Pixel 11 Pro Fold
For the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro, the upside is that the higher prices may also include a default storage bump from 128GB to 256GB. That’s nice, especially since 128GB has felt cramped for a minute now, but higher starting prices are still higher starting prices. And as much as I appreciate the extra storage for those two phones, I worry it won’t be enough to counter everything else we’ve been hearing about the Pixel 11 series.

Simply put, the Pixel 11 family is shaping up to be a very tame hardware upgrade compared to the Pixel 10. Google’s rumored Tensor G6 chipset for the new phones likely won’t have the horsepower to match current flagship chips from Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Apple — especially in mobile gaming. The rumored camera upgrades sound incremental at best, and we aren’t expecting any noteworthy battery or charging improvements, either.

Unless you’re really stoked about Google’s “Pixel Glow” RGB lights around the camera bar, there’s not much about the Pixel 11 series that sounds particularly exciting compared to the Pixel 10. That’s not inherently a bad thing, since most of the Pixel 10 lineup is already excellent, but that only applies when Google isn’t raising prices. When the new phones shoot up by $100 with little to show for it, that’s a different conversation.

Not only is Google possibly asking you to pay more for minimal upgrades, but a $100 difference also completely changes how Google’s Pixel phones stack up to the competition.

An $899 Pixel 11 would make it $100 more expensive than the iPhone 17, and the same price as the Galaxy S26 and OnePlus 15. The Pixel 11 Pro jumping to $1,099 would line it up with current iPhone 17 Pro pricing. A $1,299 Pixel 11 Pro XL would firmly push it into Galaxy S26 Ultra territory, while an $1,899 price for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold would match Motorola’s pricing for the Razr Fold.

It may “just” be a $100 price bump, but it removes any value edge this year’s Pixels could have had against the competition. And in a year when Google is apparently refusing any major performance, camera, battery, or charging upgrades, that’s a big problem.
