Google is expected to announce the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold at a Made by Google event on 12 August 2026, with the standard models reaching UK shelves around 20 August 2026 and the Pro Fold following in October 2026. None of this is officially confirmed by Google yet — we've pulled together what's been reported by multiple outlets and leakers, clearly separated from what's actually locked in, so you're not left guessing which parts of this guide are fact and which are still rumour.
Google Pixel 11 release date: what's confirmed vs expected
| Event | Expected date | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Made by Google announcement event | 12 August 2026 | Widely reported across multiple outlets, not yet officially confirmed by Google |
| Pixel 11 / 11 Pro / 11 Pro XL on sale | ~20 August 2026 | Expected, based on Google's usual announcement-to-retail gap |
| Pixel 11 Pro Fold on sale | October 2026 | Expected to launch separately from the rest of the range |
Direct answer: if you're planning a purchase or a repair around the launch, treat mid-August as the working date for the announcement and late August for standard models reaching shelves, but don't lock in exact plans until Google confirms the event officially — launch events do occasionally shift by a week or two.
The Pixel 11 lineup: four models expected
- Google Pixel 11 — the standard model, expected to carry the new "chemosh" main camera sensor
- Google Pixel 11 Pro — expected 6.3-inch display, new "bastet" and "barghest" camera sensors
- Google Pixel 11 Pro XL — the larger Pro variant, expected 6.8-inch display
- Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold — Google's folding flagship, expected 8-inch internal display, launching separately in October
Leaked specs: Tensor G6 and what's changing
Leaked information (not yet confirmed by Google) points to all four models sharing a new Tensor G6 chipset built on a 2nm manufacturing process — a meaningful jump from the Tensor G5 in the current Pixel 10 range. Reported details include an ARM-based seven-core CPU configuration, a new dedicated Tensor Processing Unit, and Google's Titan M3 security chip. We're presenting this as leaked information because it is: no official Google spec sheet exists yet, and leaked chip configurations have been revised between leak and launch before.
| Model | Leaked display | Leaked battery |
|---|---|---|
| Pixel 11 Pro | 6.3-inch, adaptive refresh from 1Hz, up to ~3600 nits peak brightness | ~4,707mAh |
| Pixel 11 Pro XL | 6.8-inch, adaptive refresh | ~5,000mAh |
| Pixel 11 Pro Fold | Internal ~2076x2160, 120Hz, ~2,050 nits; cover ~1080x2342, 120Hz, ~2,450 nits | ~4,658mAh |
Camera-wise, leaks point to new sensor codenames ("bastet" and "barghest" on the Pro and Pro XL, "chemosh" — believed to be a 50MP unit — on the standard Pixel 11 and Pro Fold), suggesting a genuine sensor upgrade across the range rather than a minor refresh. Again: sensor codenames and megapixel figures from leaks have moved before official confirmation on past Pixel generations, so treat these as directional rather than final.
Expected UK pricing
We haven't seen credible UK pricing leaks specific enough to publish with confidence, and we'd rather say that plainly than invent a number. As a general reference point, the current Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL launched in the £900–£1,200 range in the UK, and Google's pricing has generally stepped up modestly generation to generation rather than jumping sharply — but that's a pattern, not a promise, and Tensor G6's 2nm process could shift the calculus either way. We'll update this guide with real UK pricing the moment Google confirms it.
Where the Pixel 11 fits against the competition
If you're deciding whether to wait for the Pixel 11 or buy something available right now, two comparisons are worth reading before you decide: our Pixel 11 vs iPhone 17 comparison and our Pixel 11 vs Galaxy S26 comparison, both using real, confirmed specs for the iPhone 17 and Galaxy S26 ranges rather than leaks on both sides.
Which Pixel 11 model should you plan for?
If you already know you want a Pixel 11-generation phone but aren't sure which of the four models fits you, our model-by-model comparison guide breaks down the practical differences — screen size, camera tier, and the Fold's very different form factor — so you can plan your decision ahead of launch rather than rushing it on announcement day.
What this means if you already own a Pixel
If you're currently using a Pixel 6, 7, 8 or 9-series phone and considering whether to repair it now or wait for the Pixel 11, that's a genuinely common position to be in around any major launch. A screen or battery repair on your current Pixel is almost always the cheaper option in the short term, and doesn't commit you to anything — you can still upgrade to the Pixel 11 later once real pricing and reviews are available, with a fully working phone in the meantime rather than one you're limping along with. Browse current, in-stock Google Pixel screen replacement parts covering Pixel 6 through 9-series if that's your situation right now.
Will The Repair Plus stock Pixel 11 parts?
We plan to add Pixel 11 screens, batteries and other repair parts to our catalogue once the phones are released and parts become available from our suppliers — this typically takes some weeks after a phone's retail launch, as the repair-parts supply chain catches up with a brand-new device. We don't have parts in stock for a phone that hasn't launched yet, and we won't list anything until we do. If you want to be notified when Pixel 11 parts land, get in touch via our contact page and we'll let you know as soon as stock is confirmed.
How we'll keep this guide updated
We'll revise this article as Google confirms real information — official specs, UK pricing, and exact release dates — replacing the leaked figures above with confirmed ones as they're announced. If you're reading this after 12 August 2026, check whether the announcement has happened yet before treating any spec above as final.
Frequently asked questions
When will the Google Pixel 11 be released?
Expected announcement 12 August 2026, with standard models on sale around 20 August 2026 and the Pro Fold following in October 2026 — not yet officially confirmed by Google.
How many Pixel 11 models will there be?
Four are expected: Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
What chip will the Pixel 11 use?
Leaked information points to a new Tensor G6 chip built on a 2nm process, though this isn't officially confirmed yet.
How much will the Pixel 11 cost in the UK?
No credible UK pricing leaks exist yet. The current Pixel 10 Pro range launched around £900–£1,200, which is a reasonable reference point, not a confirmed figure for the Pixel 11.
Can I buy Pixel 11 repair parts now?
Not yet — the phone hasn't launched, so no repair parts exist. We'll stock screens and batteries once they're released and available from suppliers.
Should I repair my current Pixel or wait for the Pixel 11?
Repairing your current Pixel is almost always the cheaper short-term option and doesn't stop you upgrading later. See our current Pixel screen replacement parts if your existing phone needs fixing now.
