Google confirms Pixel 11 launch event, unveils Pixel 11 Pro's design

The Google Pixel 10 Pro ($984 on Amazon) appears to be getting a successor very soon, as Google has sent out invitations to the press for the Pixel 11 series launch event. The event will begin on August 12th at 06:00 p.m. ET, and will take place in New York.

The invitation could hardly be more explicit about the content of this launch event. Google states that "the next generation of Pixel" will be unveiled that night and even shows a preview of what is believed to be the Google Pixel 11 Pro. Just like leaked renders had suggested, the design won’t change significantly. Google is sticking with a flat metal frame and a pill-shaped camera module that spans nearly the entire width of the smartphone. The Pixel Glow RGB lighting isn’t visible in the image yet, but it could be hidden beneath the black glass cover of the camera module.

As a leak revealed just a few hours ago, the next-generation Pixel smartphones are set to become significantly more expensive. This is because Google will reportedly no longer offer base models with 128 GB of storage, and the 256 GB version will cost €100 more than before. This means that even the cheapest Google Pixel 11 will cost €999, the Pixel 11 Pro is expected to cost at least €1,199, the Pixel 11 Pro XL €1,399, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold €1,999.
