Summary
Amazon is taking Pixel 11 pre-orders now, with model-specific gift cards and extra trade-in bonuses on top of an old phone’s value before the August 20 release.
256GB storage is now standard across the lineup, but RAM has tightened on some models: Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL start at 12GB, with 16GB reserved for 512GB and 1TB versions.
Pixel 11 keeps the Tensor G6 chip, adds a larger 48MP main sensor and 25W magnetic wireless charging, while the Pro models add the HiLight RGB LED and mostly iterative camera and battery changes.
Pixel 11 Pro Fold trims weight to 239g from 258g and thickness to 10.1mm folded, but its battery drops to 4,806mAh, leaving it thicker and heavier than Samsung’s Z Fold8 Ultra.
Google’s pricing remains aggressive at the high end: the Pixel 11 Pro XL starts at $1,300, while Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra and even the base S26 undercut comparable Pixel configurations.
