Pixel 11: RAM Cut Sparks Downgrade Fears
4 May
Summary
- Pixel 11 may start with 8GB RAM, a decrease from 12GB.
- Pro models might see RAM reduced from 16GB to 12GB.
- Global RAM shortage impacts phone makers and other electronics.
The next generation of Google's Pixel phones, the Pixel 11 lineup, might offer a reduced RAM configuration compared to the current Pixel 10 series. Leaks indicate a potential base model starting with 8GB of RAM, a step down from the Pixel 10's 12GB. For the Pixel 11 Pro, Pro XL, and Pro Fold models, there's a possibility of a new 12GB RAM option, a decrease from the existing 16GB.
While 16GB configurations are expected to remain available, the introduction of a lower-spec model could lead to a price increase for the higher-end versions. Despite the potential RAM reduction, these Pro models are anticipated to feature camera upgrades and brighter displays. The global shortage of RAM is impacting the entire electronics industry, forcing manufacturers like Samsung to increase prices and affecting a wide range of devices, from gaming handhelds to Raspberry Pis.
