The Pixel 11 They already have a date. Google is sending invitations to media and influencers for the event Made by Google which will take place in New York on August 12, at 12 midnight Spanish peninsular time, so here we will be at 13. It will be the third consecutive year in which the company presents its Pixel family in the heat of the heat, thus getting ahead of the iPhone that Apple announces every September. Last year, the Pixel 10 event took place on August 20 and they went on sale on August 28, so this year we would be talking about the August 20 as probable release date.
Few design changes
According to the leaks that have been known in recent months, the new Pixels will not include major design changes. He Pixel 11 base would have somewhat thinner frames and a black camera module; he Pixel 11 ProFurthermore, it would be slightly thinner, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold I would also lose some weight and change the camera module. Pro models could lose the temperature sensor and gain Pixel Glowa kind of strip LED integrated into the camera bar that has been compared to the system Glyph of nothing.
The invitation to the Google event shows the Pixel 11 in a similar color to gold. It is not a tone that has appeared in previous leaks, so in this regard there may be more surprises.
Tensor G6 and new MediaTek modem
In any case, most of the changes will be on the inside, including a chip G6 tensioner manufactured in 2 nanometers per TSMC. More importantly, rumors suggest that the Pixel 11 will mark the end of Google’s use of the problematic modem Exynos of Samsung with the jump to M90 of MediaTek. If confirmed, it could improve coverage, efficiency and consumption in 5G, one of the historical weaknesses of the Pixel.
Unfortunately, the new Tensor SoC could use the same GPU PowerVR that ride the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro. This GPU received criticism for its poor graphics performance, inferior to the Mali of the G4 tensioner of the Pixel 9. The prudent reading is that the Pixel 11 should improve in efficiency, AI and camera, but not in games or sustained graphics performance.
Batteries and cameras
The leaked specifications speak of somewhat brighter screens and batteries with slightly less capacity in several models. The base Pixel 11 appears with 4,840 mAh; the Pro, with 4,707 mAh; the Pro XL, with 5,000 mAhand the Pro Fold, with 4,658 mAh. The possible reduction does not have to automatically translate into worse autonomy if the Tensor G6 and the modem are more efficient.
Regarding photography, traditionally one of the strong points of the Pixel range, mention has been made new ISP, TPU and new lensesincluding possible improvements to the main camera and telephoto lens.
Storage, RAM and prices
The last known leak, published on 9to5Google, is about one of the aspects that most interest consumers, the price. According to the medium, the 128 GB model disappears and 256 GB is the base now. In Europe, the Pixel 11 would start from 999 euros; the Pixel 11 Pro, from 1,199 euros; the Pixel 11 Pro XL, from 1,399 eurosand the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, from 1,999 euros. That is to say, an increase of €100 in the base model of each variant compared to the Pixel 10. The higher capacity versions would go up to 2,389 euros in the folding 1TB.
Where a reduction in performance could occur is in the RAM memory. Rumors point to a Pixel 11 with 8 GB of RAM instead of the 12 GB of the Pixel 10and higher models with options between 12 and 16 GBalthough in the previous generation the Pro offered 16 GB as the only possibility.
Pixel Watch 5
Along with the Pixel 11, Google should also announce the Pixel Watch 5 at their New York event. Although it could maintain the same design as the Pixel Watch 4, it would incorporate its own new Tensor chip to improve performance and extend autonomy.
