Google Moves All Pixel Production Out of China by 2027 as Pixel 11 Prices Rise $100

3 articles · Updated · Yanko Design · Aug 18

$899 Pixel 11 pricing put Google’s supply-chain shift in sharper relief, with the company planning to make all Pixel phones, watches and earbuds in Vietnam and India from next year.
78% to 83% jumps in LPDDR5X memory prices this spring helped drive the increase, while Google dropped the 128GB tier so every Pixel 11 now starts at 256GB.
Vietnam’s successful Pixel 11 production run and India’s growing role in US-bound smartphone exports make the transition more credible, especially because Google has little China sales exposure.
Google is targeting Pixel shipments up 8% to 10% from roughly 12 million units in 2025, but the factory move is more likely to stabilize pricing than lower it.
