Pixel 11 Prices Soar: What You Need to Know
14 Aug
Summary
- Pixel 11 starts at $899, a $100 increase from the previous model.
- Component shortages are driving up prices for new Google devices.
- New Pixel phones have reduced RAM in lower storage tiers.
Google has unveiled its new lineup of Pixel devices, including the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. These new models come with a higher price tag compared to their predecessors, with the Pixel 11 starting at $899, a $100 increase. This price adjustment is attributed to ongoing RAM shortages and rising component costs across the tech industry.
Further illustrating the impact of these shortages, some of the new Pixel Pro models feature reduced RAM in their base storage configurations. For instance, the 256GB versions of the Pixel 11 Pro and 11 Pro XL now come with 12GB of RAM, down from the 16GB found in last year's models. However, Google claims optimizations in silicon and software will ensure these devices remain fast and smooth.
