Google Pixel 11 officially unveiled at Made by Google

Google's next round of Pixel phones is finally here. As part of its Made by Google event on Wednesday, Google announced the new Pixel 11 lineup. There are also Pro models and a foldable device, but let's focus on the regular Pixel 11 for now. The base model this year starts at $899, which is $100 more than last year, but there's a caveat: The starting storage is now 256GB instead of 128GB. Last year's Pixel 10 was also $899 for 256GB of storage, so it's only technically a price increase. Very thin indeed.

Here are the basic specs for the device: Mashable Light Speed Display: 6.3-inch display with 1080x2424 resolution and 60-120Hz refresh rateProcessor: Google Tensor G6 processorStorage: 256/512GB Memory: 12GBBattery: 4,985mAh Rear cameras: 48MP wide, 13MP ultrawide, 10.8MP telephoto with 5x optical zoomFront camera: 10.5MPGoogle didn't revolutionize the base Pixel model for 2026. This is a very incremental upgrade over last year, but there are some noteworthy changes. For instance, the camera bar is about 40 percent thinner, so the phone appears almost fully flat with a case on. Unfortunately, that camera bar does not include HiLight, a new hardware feature exclusive to the Pro devices that uses multicolored lights to convey notifications when the phone is lying face down. As for other changes, we already covered the exclusion of a 128GB model, but it's also worth mentioning that there's a new 512GB variant of the base model this year. The new Tensor G6 processor delivers faster performance and a few minor new AI features, such as Magic Capture, which automatically captures, crops, and unblurs moments as you film. Aside from that, though, the Pixel 11 seems very similar to the Pixel 10. We'll have a full review to determine just how much better it is in the near future.Want to learn more about getting the best out of your tech?
