Google unveiled the Pixel 11 series on 12 August 2026, and all four phones — Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold — are now open for pre-order directly from the Google Store UK. This is the most complete Pixel lineup Google has ever launched in one go, spanning £879 to £2,149, and the spec sheet moves further than a typical yearly refresh in a few genuinely useful ways — a new Tensor G6 chip, brighter Super Actua displays, a 120x Pro Zoom camera, and a redesigned Pro Fold hinge.
Below is every confirmed price, spec, colour option and launch detail for all four models in one place, pulled directly from Google's own UK product and tech spec pages rather than rumour round-ups. We'll keep this updated as more detail lands.

Google Pixel 11: the entry point
The standard Pixel 11 keeps the same 6.3″ footprint as its predecessor but steps up to a 3,000-nit peak-brightness Actua panel behind Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, in a 152.8 x 72 x 8.6mm, 197g polished-back aluminium frame. Inside is the new Tensor G6 chip with 12GB of RAM, a 48MP wide + 13MP ultrawide + 10.8MP telephoto rear array offering 30x Super Zoom, and a 10.5MP autofocus front camera shooting 4K video. The 4,985mAh battery is rated for 30+ hours, and it charges at up to 55% in 30 minutes over wired USB-C or 25W over Google's new Pixelsnap magnetic wireless system. Like every Pixel 11 model, it's IP68 rated for dust and water resistance, runs Android 17 out of the box, and takes a Nano SIM plus eSIM in dual-SIM configuration. Storage comes in 256GB or 512GB, priced at £879 and £999 respectively, in Frost, Hibiscus, Pistachio or Obsidian.
Google Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL: the camera flagship
The Pro and Pro XL are identical apart from screen size, battery and charging speed. Both get a 3,600-nit Super Actua display with the new HiLight feature (a screen-edge glow that flags an important call without you looking at the phone), a Gorilla Glass Victus 2 panel with an added anti-scratch coating, and a matte-finish aluminium frame. The camera steps up substantially over the base model: a 50MP wide, 48MP ultrawide and 48MP telephoto combine for up to 120x Pro Zoom, while the front camera jumps to 42MP with autofocus, 8K video, Pro Stable Video and Video Boost. The Pro's 4,850mAh battery (Pro XL is larger, sized to its bigger chassis) charges up to 55% in 30 minutes wired, while the Pro XL reaches 75% in the same time — a genuinely useful real-world difference if you're topping up before heading out. Both come in Canyon, Olive, Fog or matte Obsidian, with 256GB/12GB RAM, 512GB/16GB RAM and 1TB/16GB RAM tiers.
Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold: the redesign
The Pro Fold gets the biggest structural change in the lineup: a redesigned hinge Google says is tested to last a decade of folding, a cover glass that's thinner and lighter yet rated 3x stronger, and an ultra-durable composite back described as "nearly impossible to crack." It's still IP68 rated despite the folding mechanism. The 6.5″ cover display and 8″ inner display both use Super Actua technology at 3,600 nits — 20% brighter than the outgoing Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Camera specs step down slightly from the Pro/Pro XL to make room for the folding mechanism: 48MP wide, 10.5MP ultrawide and 10.8MP telephoto for 30x Super Zoom, with matching 10MP front and inner cameras shooting 4K. Its 4,806mAh battery is rated for 24+ hours, a little below the other models given the demands of running two displays. Available in Olive or Obsidian, from £1,799 for 256GB/16GB RAM up to £2,149 for 1TB.

What's identical across all four phones
Regardless of which model you choose, every Pixel 11 shares the same foundations. All four run the Tensor G6 chip, rated for up to 50% more computing power than the Pixel 10 series, backed by the Titan M3 security chip and deep Gemini Intelligence integration throughout the OS. Every model launches on Android 17, is IP68 rated for dust and water resistance, supports dual SIM (Nano SIM + eSIM), and is covered by Google's commitment to seven years of OS and security updates plus regular Pixel Drops. Safety features are also consistent across the range: Satellite SOS, Emergency SOS, Crisis Alerts, Car Crash Detection, Safety Check, Emergency Location Service and theft protection all ship as standard.
Colours
Pixel 11: Frost (a cool pale blue-grey), Hibiscus (a warm coral pink), Pistachio (a soft sage green) and Obsidian (matte black).
Pixel 11 Pro & Pro XL: Canyon (a warm terracotta), Olive, Fog (a light grey) and matte Obsidian.
Pixel 11 Pro Fold: Olive and Obsidian only.
Trade-in and financing
Google is offering up to £650 back (including a £200 bonus) trading in against a Pixel 11, and up to £850 back (including a £400 bonus) against the Pro, Pro XL or Pro Fold, running until 1 September 2026. The representative example Google quotes is £850 for an iPhone 16 Pro (1TB) traded against a Pro-tier phone. 36-month 0% representative financing is available from £24.42/month on the Pixel 11 and £29.97/month on the Pro, or you can pay in three interest-free instalments on orders over £49. See our guide on getting the best trade-in value for your old Pixel before you order — a cheap screen repair before you submit your trade-in can be worth several times its cost in a higher condition grade.
How to pre-order
- Pick your model at the Google Store UK, then choose colour and storage.
- If you're trading in an old phone, answer a few condition questions for an instant estimate — this is confirmed at checkout, not guaranteed.
- Choose whether to add Pixel Care+ device protection now (you also have 60 days after purchase to add it).
- Pick a payment method: pay in full, 36-month 0% financing, or Pay in 3 instalments.
- Checkout. Google ships to your registered UK address; next-day delivery is free if you order before 18:00 on weekdays or 14:00 at weekends.
How to pre-order
Buying for someone else: gifting a Pixel 11
If you're buying a Pixel 11 as a gift, Google's own gifting process supports separate delivery addresses and the recipient sets up their own Google account during first boot, so you don't need their password or existing account details to complete the purchase. Trade-in offers are tied to the account placing the order, not the eventual user, so if you want the recipient to benefit from a trade-in against their old phone, they'll typically need to place the order themselves, or you'll need their device in hand to describe its condition accurately at checkout. Gift receipts and return windows follow Google's standard returns policy, which is worth checking if there's any chance the recipient already has a preference for a different model or colour.
Insurance options beyond Pixel Care+
Pixel Care+ isn't the only way to protect a new Pixel 11 — many UK home contents insurance policies offer gadget cover as an add-on, and standalone mobile phone insurers also cover accidental damage, loss and theft, sometimes at a lower ongoing cost than Google's own scheme depending on your excess and claim history. The trade-off is usually convenience: Pixel Care+ repairs are arranged directly through Google with no separate claims process, while third-party insurance often means sourcing your own repairer or waiting for approval before a repair goes ahead. It's worth comparing the total annual cost and claim experience of each option against your own risk tolerance before deciding, rather than assuming the manufacturer's own scheme is automatically the best value.
A note on how we sourced this information
Every price, spec and feature claim in this article is taken directly from Google's own UK Google Store product and technical specification pages for the Pixel 11 series, cross-checked across the overview, configurator and dedicated tech specs pages for each model, rather than from third-party leaks or rumour aggregation. Where Google hasn't published a specific figure — such as the Pixel 11 Pro XL's exact battery capacity in mAh, or a confirmed shipping date beyond "pre-order now" — we've said so explicitly rather than guessing, since presenting an invented number as fact would be more misleading than simply noting the gap. We'll continue updating this page as Google confirms further details and as the phones actually begin shipping to customers.

Is the Pixel 11 waterproof?
It's IP68 rated for dust and water resistance under IEC standard 60529, as tested when the device leaves the factory. Google is explicit that this doesn't mean the device is waterproof, and water/dust resistance isn't permanent and can diminish over time.
Does the Pixel 11 support wireless charging?
Yes — all four models support 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging via Google's new Pixelsnap magnetic system, which is faster than the Pixel 10 series' wireless charging.
What operating system does the Pixel 11 ship with?
Android 17, with a commitment to seven years of OS and security updates from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US.
Can I use two SIMs in a Pixel 11?
Yes, every model supports dual SIM with one physical Nano SIM slot plus eSIM.
Is there a Pixel 11a?
Not at launch — the current budget option remains the Pixel 10a (from £499), which stays on sale alongside the Pixel 11 series.
Can I return a Pixel 11 if I change my mind after unboxing it?
Google's standard returns policy applies to Pixel 11 orders in the same way as other Google Store purchases, typically allowing returns within a set window provided the device is in resalable condition — check the specific terms shown at checkout for the exact window and conditions.
Does buying through a network operator affect the manufacturer warranty?
No — Google's standard hardware warranty applies regardless of whether you buy directly from the Google Store or through a UK network operator, since it's tied to the device itself rather than the sales channel.
