25 Jul
Summary
- Pixel 11 will see price adjustments due to economic shifts.
- Base model Pixel 11 rumored to start at $899 with 256GB storage.
- Google announces new Pixel devices on August 12th.
Google's Vice President of Devices and Services, Shakil Barkat, has confirmed that the upcoming Pixel 11 will be more expensive than its predecessors. This anticipated price hike is attributed to significant shifts in economic conditions and ongoing RAM supply issues driven by AI data center demands. Barkat stated that while Google aimed to shield consumers, the "economics have fundamentally shifted."
These "adjustments" to the Pixel lineup's pricing will be implemented dynamically to reflect supply realities. Rumors suggest the base Pixel 11 could launch at $899, offering 256GB of storage instead of the previous 128GB. The Pixel 11 Pro might also see a RAM reduction from 16GB to 12GB. Google is set to officially unveil the new Pixel devices on August 12th.
