Google Pixel 11

Google's Pixel 11 series is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated smartphone launches of 2026, with rumors pointing to significant upgrades across the entire lineup. Multiple reports suggest Google is preparing a four-device family that could include the standard Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

Google is also exploring a mechanically secured battery system for the foldable model, which could set a new standard for repairability in foldable phones.

Google has maintained a consistent August timeline for flagship Pixel releases. The Pixel 9 launched in August 2024 and the Pixel 10 in August 2025, making August 2026 the near-certain window for the Pixel 11 series. All three standard models are expected to launch simultaneously at Google's annual hardware event.
