Google has confirmed the ‘Made by Google’ event on August 12th, 2026, where the company is expected to launch the Pixel 11 series and the Pixel Watch 5. It is not clear if we can expect the Pixel Buds Pro 3. The event will happen in New York City.
The teaser shows the camera bump. We have CAD-based renders of the phone, and the press renders should be available before the launch. The company usually reveals the design of the phone officially a few weeks before the launch.
A recent report revealed that the Pixel 11 series will completely eliminate the 128GB version, with all models starting at 256GB. The Pro, Pro XL, and Pro Fold models will also offer a 1TB version.
In terms of color options, the standard Pixel 11 will be available in four colors: gray, black, pink, and green; the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL will be available in four colors: white, black, pink, and green; and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold will be available in two colors: black and green.
The Pixel 11 and 11 Pro are said to retain a similar 6.3-inch OLED screen and the Pixel 11 Pro XL is also said to retain a 6.8-inch OLED screen. These are said to be powered by Google Tensor G6 processor, which is said to be a 7-core chipset using TSMC’s 2nm process.
These are also expected to get a new MediaTek M90 modem for the first time, dropping the Samsung modem. The phones are said to get a new Titan M3 security coprocessor, codenamed “Google Epic”, after years of using Titan M2 in its phones.
Rumors revealed an ultra-low-light video mode that allows for direct on-device processing, enabling users to capture high-quality videos in low-light conditions without requiring an internet connection.
The phone is also expected to include Cinematic Blur at 4K at 30 fps, up to 100x zoom with new telephoto camera hardware and machine learning,and a new video relight function for customizable lighting adjustments.
