A massive new leak has revealed the potential prices and storage options for Google’s highly anticipated Pixel 11 smartphone lineup. Consequently, buyers might have to pay more this year despite receiving additional baseline storage. Google plans to officially unveil the new hardware series at its major launch event in New York City on August 12. Following the reveal, retail sales will likely begin on August 20.
Google Eliminates Base Storage Tier Across Entire Lineup
According to the leaked data, Google will introduce a major structural shift to its product strategy. Specifically, the tech giant will completely remove the traditional 128GB base model from its flagship range. Instead, all four upcoming devices will start with a generous 256GB of storage. This change marks the first time Google has offered this higher tier as the baseline standard across the entire Pixel family.
The upcoming lineup will include four distinct models to cater to different consumer needs. These devices are the standard Pixel 11, the Pixel 11 Pro, the massive Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the foldable Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Additionally, the report claims Google will introduce fresh color options across the models to give the devices a premium aesthetic update.
