Android Headlines has published a detailed leak revealing expected specs and pricing for Google’s entire Pixel 11 lineup ahead of an August 12th event, signaling hardware adjustments, reduced RAM configurations on pro models, and a base-model price increase to $899 with 256GB of storage.
Leaks concerning upcoming mobile hardware often illuminate broader supply chain pressures, and Google’s next generation of smartphones is no exception. According to reporting from Android Headlines, the upcoming Pixel 11 lineup has been fully detailed ahead of an August 12th event, shedding light on how component market realities are reshaping consumer options. While base storage capacities are expanding, prospective buyers face price hikes and notable hardware shifts across both standard and premium tiers.
Storage Upgrades and Price Adjustments for the Base Pixel 11
The standard Pixel 11 is expected to carry a $100 price hike, bringing its starting cost to $899. However, that financial adjustment comes with a structural shift in baseline configuration. Instead of the 128GB capacity found in previous iterations, the base model will ship with 256GB of storage, according to Android Headlines.
Beyond storage, the base device is also seeing a notable configuration change in its optics. Android Headlines reports that the Pixel 11 would abandon the telephoto lens in favor of a dual rear camera setup. Despite these changes, the entire lineup will feature new internal silicon, sporting both the Tensor G6 and Titan M3 chips.
RAM Reductions Across Pro Models and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold
The leaks highlight the broader industry phenomenon dubbed RAMageddon, which has impacted component availability and pricing. The base model Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL are both receiving a rumored RAM cut, dropping down to just 12GB of memory. Alongside this reduction, prices for these premium devices are increasing to $1,099 and $1,299, respectively. Despite the memory cut, the pro models appear slated to keep the same camera setup from the Pixel 10 lineup, and their displays are expected to remain largely unchanged from the previous generation.
Foldable hardware is also feeling the pinch. According to the leak, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold was not spared from RAMageddon either and would also begin with 12GB of RAM alongside a new price tag of $1,899.
What to Watch for at the August 12th Event
With leaks outlining everything from modified camera arrays to higher price tags across the board, attention now turns to official confirmations. Observers and prospective buyers will be watching the scheduled August 12th event to see how Google officially presents these hardware choices, pricing tiers, and the tangible impact of component constraints on its flagship devices.
