What we didn\u2019t know was the price, especially given the AI-driven price increase. Now, a new leak is giving us a detailed picture of what the Pixel 11 series could cost, and it\u2019s not looking great.<\/p>\n<p>According to a new report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dealabs.com\/magazine\/google-pixel-11-on-vous-devoile-les-prix-et-la-date-de-sortie-en-exclusivite-61540\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dealabs<\/a>, Google is said to eliminate the 128GB base tier entirely this year, moving the lineup to a starting capacity of 256GB. Power users opting for the Pixel 11 Pro series will be able to choose up to 1TB of storage.<\/p>\n<p>Further, these are the expected colors and storage variants for each of the Pixel 11 phones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pixel 11 (256GB\/512GB): Light Sterling (gray), Midnight Haze (black), Fuchsia (pink), Moss (green)<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL (256GB\/512 GB): Light Fog (white), Midnight Haze (black), Dune (pink), Pine (green)<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 11 Pro Fold (256GB\/512 GB): Midnight Haze (black), Pine (green)<\/li>\n<li>Pixel 11 Pro\/Pro XL\/Pro Fold (1TB): Available only in Midnight Haze (black)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The real shocker (but one you might have seen coming) is that the European pricing for the entire Pixel 11 family is said to rise\u00a0by roughly \u20ac100 across the board.<\/p>\n<p>For the standard Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro, this increase could effectively mean buyers might pay what the 256GB variants cost in previous generations, with the entry-level Pixel 11 potentially starting at \u20ac999 (~$1,140) and the Pro at \u20ac1,199 (~$1,370). However, the premium Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold could be facing straight price hikes, with the Pro XL allegedly starting at \u20ac1,399 (~$1,600) and the Fold pushing up to a steep \u20ac1,999 (~$2,285) for the 256GB base configurations.<\/p>\n<tr>PhoneStorageLeaked EU pricingLeaked UK pricing<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Phone<\/p>\n<p>Pixel 11<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Storage<\/p>\n<p>256GB<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked EU pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac999<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked UK pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u00a3879<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Phone<\/p>\n<p>Pixel 11<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Storage<\/p>\n<p>512GB<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked EU pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac1,129<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked UK pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u00a3999<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Phone<\/p>\n<p>Pixel 11 Pro<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Storage<\/p>\n<p>256GB<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked EU pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac1,199<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked UK pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u00a31,079<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Phone<\/p>\n<p>Pixel 11 Pro<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Storage<\/p>\n<p>512GB<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked EU pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac1,329<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked UK pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u00a31,199<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Phone<\/p>\n<p>Pixel 11 Pro<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Storage<\/p>\n<p>1TB<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked EU pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac1,589<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked UK pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u00a31,429<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Phone<\/p>\n<p>Pixel 11 Pro XL<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Storage<\/p>\n<p>256GB<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked EU pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac1,399<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked UK pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u00a31,279<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Phone<\/p>\n<p>Pixel 11 Pro XL<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Storage<\/p>\n<p>512GB<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked EU pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac1,529<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked UK pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u00a31,399<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Phone<\/p>\n<p>Pixel 11 Pro XL<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Storage<\/p>\n<p>1TB<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked EU pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac1,789<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked UK pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u00a31,629<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Phone<\/p>\n<p>Pixel 11 Pro Fold<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Storage<\/p>\n<p>256GB<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked EU pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac1,999<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked UK pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u00a31,799<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Phone<\/p>\n<p>Pixel 11 Pro Fold<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Storage<\/p>\n<p>512GB<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked EU pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac2,129<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked UK pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u00a31,919<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Phone<\/p>\n<p>Pixel 11 Pro Fold<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Storage<\/p>\n<p>1TB<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked EU pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac2,389<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Leaked UK pricing<\/p>\n<p>\u00a32,149<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p>For context, the Pixel 10 started at \u20ac899 and the Pixel 10 Pro at \u20ac1,099 for the 128GB variant (but started at $799 and $999 in the US, respectively). The price appears to remain equivalent for the 256GB variant, which is the silver lining in this news. The Pro XL and Pro Fold appear to be on track for a straight price increase, though.<\/p>\n<p>Note that EU pricing doesn\u2019t always directly convert\/translate into US pricing, so we\u2019re keeping our fingers crossed for good news. Google can also have a different regional strategy for the base variant, but given that Apple and Samsung have dropped the 128GB base storage variant in their flagship lineups, the writing is on the wall for the Pixel 11, too.<\/p>\n<p>When will the Pixel 11 launch?

The Pixel 11 will go on sale on August 20, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Google hasn\u2019t shared any official word on what\u2019s happening with the Pixel 11 series, so take all this information with a pinch of salt. We\u2019ll keep you updated when we learn more.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
