GoKawiilTL;DR Google is reportedly eliminating the 128GB base storage tier, meaning the Pixel 11 series will start at 256GB.
European starting prices are expected to rise by roughly €100 across the board, with the standard Pixel 11 potentially starting at €999.
The lineup is rumored to be announced on August 11, 2026, ahead of an August 20 release date.
Google is expected to launch the Pixel 11 series sometime in late August. Specs and renders of the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold have already leaked, so we already have a fair idea of what’s in store. What we didn’t know was the price, especially given the AI-driven price increase. Now, a new leak is giving us a detailed picture of what the Pixel 11 series could cost, and it’s not looking great.
According to a new report from Dealabs, Google is said to eliminate the 128GB base tier entirely this year, moving the lineup to a starting capacity of 256GB. Power users opting for the Pixel 11 Pro series will be able to choose up to 1TB of storage.
Further, these are the expected colors and storage variants for each of the Pixel 11 phones: Pixel 11 (256GB/512GB): Light Sterling (gray), Midnight Haze (black), Fuchsia (pink), Moss (green)
Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL (256GB/512 GB): Light Fog (white), Midnight Haze (black), Dune (pink), Pine (green)
Pixel 11 Pro Fold (256GB/512 GB): Midnight Haze (black), Pine (green)
Pixel 11 Pro/Pro XL/Pro Fold (1TB): Available only in Midnight Haze (black) The real shocker (but one you might have seen coming) is that the European pricing for the entire Pixel 11 family is said to rise by roughly €100 across the board.
For the standard Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro, this increase could effectively mean buyers might pay what the 256GB variants cost in previous generations, with the entry-level Pixel 11 potentially starting at €999 (~$1,140) and the Pro at €1,199 (~$1,370). However, the premium Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold could be facing straight price hikes, with the Pro XL allegedly starting at €1,399 (~$1,600) and the Fold pushing up to a steep €1,999 (~$2,285) for the 256GB base configurations.
