Pixel 11 US Pricing and Specs Leak Ahead of August Launch

New details have emerged regarding Google's forthcoming Pixel 11 smartphone lineup, with leaked Amazon listings providing a comprehensive look at US pricing, storage options, and specifications. The information surfaced via screenshots shared by a reader of Android Authority, who reportedly found the details on Google's official Amazon storefront before they were removed. These leaks offer the clearest picture yet of the Pixel 11 family ahead of its anticipated August 12 'Made by Google' launch event.

The base Pixel 11 is slated to start at $899 for a 256GB storage configuration, confirming a shift away from the previous 128GB entry-level option. This tier, along with a 512GB model priced at $1,019, will reportedly come equipped with 12GB of RAM. The device is expected to be available in Frost, Pistachio, Hibiscus, and Obsidian colorways. Key specifications for the standard Pixel 11 include a 6.3-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 4,985mAh battery, a 13MP front camera, and support for Bluetooth 6 and Wi-Fi 6E. The phone is expected to weigh 204 grams.

Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL configurations revealed

For the Pixel 11 Pro, leaked pricing suggests a starting point of $1,099 for the 256GB model, with 512GB priced at $1,219 and a 1TB variant at $1,449. Notably, reports indicate a potential change in Google's RAM strategy: the 256GB Pixel 11 Pro may feature 12GB of RAM, while the 512GB and 1TB versions will get 16GB. This contrasts with the Pixel 10 Pro, where all configurations offered 16GB. The Pixel 11 Pro is said to have a 6.3-inch display and a 4,850mAh battery, with 120x digital zoom and a 13MP front camera. The Pixel 11 Pro XL is listed with a 512GB model costing $1,419. Full pricing for the Pro XL suggests 256GB at $1,299, 512GB at $1,419, and 1TB at $1,649. Similar to the standard Pro, the 256GB Pro XL is expected to have 12GB of RAM, with higher storage tiers getting 16GB. The larger Pro model will feature a 6.8-inch OLED display, a 5,115mAh battery, and weigh 226 grams.

The increasing complexity of smartphone components and the ongoing industry-wide memory supply constraints could be factors influencing these hardware decisions. Manufacturers often adjust specifications to balance performance, cost, and availability. These leaked details, if accurate, suggest Google is aiming to offer more storage at a competitive price point, while potentially segmenting RAM offerings to manage production costs or cater to different user needs.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold also appears in the leaks, with a 256GB model in Obsidian priced at $1,899, and a 512GB version in Obsidian and Olive (potentially a placeholder for a previously leaked 'Pine' color) costing $2,019. A 1TB model is rumored to be available for $2,249, with all Fold configurations reportedly featuring 16GB of RAM. The device is listed with a 6.5-inch outer display, a 4,750mAh battery, and folded dimensions of 6.11 × 5.92 × 0.4 inches, weighing 239 grams. It's worth noting that the listed battery capacity for the Fold is smaller than its predecessor, though this could be subject to change as the final specifications are not yet confirmed.

Google has not officially commented on these leaks, but the timing and detail of the information strongly suggest an imminent product announcement. The Pixel 11 lineup aims to continue Google's push in the premium smartphone market, competing directly with offerings from Apple and Samsung. With a focus on AI features, camera technology, and a clean Android experience, the new Pixel models are expected to refine the formula that has made previous iterations popular among Android enthusiasts. The rumored pricing indicates Google is positioning the Pixel 11 series to compete across various price points within the high-end segment. The official Pixel 11 launch event is expected to provide all the definitive details.
