Although we are still looking forward to the start of the Google Pixel 10 series, we already have information about the Pixel 11 series. This is a courtyard. Android Authority Will the team make remarkable changes to the Pixel 11 Google Lineup? The answer may be yes, though these changes will be dependent on individual priorities.
Let’s find a short desire list for the current Pixel 11 rumors and what you want from the Pixel family in 2026.
Key word: in a glance
- When is it expected to come out? Certainly it is too early to say, but the difficulties are that Pixel will start in the fall of 11 2026.
- What new features can be there? We expect the tanker G6 chip developed by TSMC, improve the improvement of some camera sensors, and possibly some surprises.
- How much can it cost? It is difficult to predict, though Pixel 11 will cost at least $ 9999 for twenty variations.
Will there be a Google Pixel 11?
Unless the Android Authority’s mass leakage is somehow proved to be very wrong or Google does not make changes to the road, Pixel 11 is a certain thing. Google has also received a major definition of recent pixels, including Pixel 9 series but is not limited, so the company has no reason to stop the pace by not issuing more pixels.
We already know the amazing amount about Pixel 11, which includes details of some features of its SOC and its camera. Even through Google’s internal documents, we have the names of the code.
- Pixel 11 – “cubes” or “4cs4”
- Pixel 11 Pro – “Griezli” or “Cgy4”
- Pixel 11 Pro XL – “Kodiak” or “PK 4”
- Pixel 11 Pro Fold – “Yogi” or “9yi4”
So, yes, probably. There will be a pixel 11.
What is more likely in the date of release of Google Pixel 11?
Ryan Hans / Android Authority
- Google Pixel 9- August 22, 2024
- Google Pixel 8 – October 12, 2023
- Google Pixel 7 – October 13, 2024
Historically, the Pixel launch took place in October, but Pixel 9 broke the tradition with the release of August 22. Some suggest that the weird release of Pixel 9 was the only way in which the Pixel Folder could be brought to the family, which is certainly possible. It seems that Google continues this strategy with Pixel 10, as it scheduled this year’s hardware event on August 20.
Given this trend, it seems that August has now replaced the traditional launch of October. As a result, we expect that we will probably see Pixel 11 in August 2026. That said, Google can always change its idea and return at the beginning of October.
What rumors can be in Google Pixel 11?
Thanks to our recent Google Lake, we have learned a little about Pixel 11. However, it is important to remember that the phone is not expected to reach 2026, so much can change between it and it. Let’s take a look at the SOC changes in the store for Tancer G6.
Google Tanker G6
Google Tancer G6 (Code) will be the second chip of the TSMC, but do not expect it to be a big jump to move beyond the tanker G5. The CPU will bring some minor improvement, which includes going to the next general N3P process node of the TSMC, the same process has made rumors to be prominent on Apple A1. Still, in many ways, it’s a side grade.
This change is due to Google’s desire for a competitive price price, which will reduce some costs while also improves areas where consumers think the phone needs the most attention. Although some of us want the powerhouse chip, the fact is that most pixels have big complaints than any other aspect of battery life and thermals.
The Tancer G6 will adopt an unannounced arm Cartax-930 Core and six Cartax-A730 core, which will allow the chip to focus on improvement in power consumption than the benefits of raw performance. As a result, the chip will be more effective and will generate less heat. The most notable step here is the GPU, as it is a small DSP losing the ray tracing, and the feature of the previous tanker chips system level cache feature to reduce costs.
Beyond the improvement of battery life and thermals, AI Pixel 11 will be a major priority. The Tancer G6 allegedly will have a new TPU and a secondary nanotene TPU that will help handle low -strength tasks more effectively, including background health properties such as sleep and breathing monitoring, cough detection.
Although Google is not necessarily focused on making the tanker the world’s most powerful chip, the G6 must still be a substantial processor. It is rumored that TSMC will move forward in the 2NM process for G6. There is a good opportunity that the rest of the industry will remain with 3nm in 2026, which means that Pixel may be the first flag of the 11 SOC game with a 2nm fabric game with SOC.
Camera improvement, hardware and software side
Ryan Hans / Android Authority
Some features capable of highlighting some large pixel 11 features include the 4K 30FPS cinema Bloor’s first and a new video rights feature that will allow you to lighten the lighting even after being recorded. The tasks also have a new ultra-low light video feature, which will improve the quality of the image with 5-10 lux light conditions. This is basically the light that you find from a dim light room or cloudy evening sky. As you can imagine, this feature will also require better hardware, but it is too early to know anything about the upgrade there.
The Pixel 11 Family can also introduce a new telephoto feature that uses machine learning with camera hardware to get 100x zoom for photos and videos. It is unclear whether it will be a feature in all models or especially, which is aimed at the Pro Family. If this is mostly AI trick, it could potentially end in all pixel models, but with potentially better performance on a pro device.
Although not directly related to photography, our Google Chip leak also indicates that the company is considering adding a new under -display infrared camera to at least Pixel 11. This camera will allow it to improve facial unlock safety and solve existing limits. It is worth noting that Apple is also rumored to provide an under -display fee ID tech around 2026, so it is likely that Google wants to make sure it is similar to its rivals.
What can be Google Pixel 11 price?
- Google Pixel 9- 99 799
- Google Pixel 8 – 99 699
- Google Pixel 7 – 9 599
- Google Pixel 9 Pro- 99999
- Google Pixel 8 Pro – 99999
- Google Pixel 7 Pro – 99 899
- Google Pixel 9 Pro XL – 0 1,099
- Pixel 9 Pro Fold – 7 1,799
- Pixel fold – 7 1,799
Pixel 10 is still not yet released, we can’t say much about the price tag of Pixel 11 without a crystal ball. He said, previous trends can help us to guess. Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro were sold in $ 599 and 99 899, but both Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro saw an increase of $ 100 in each. With the arrival of the Pixel 9 Family, things have become even more complicated, which includes a variety of new models and $ 100 increase for Base Pixel 9.
Can we expect a further increase? Hope, no. Many of them can easily be attributed to the infectious and declining economy over the past few years, which has led to rapid inflation. This process is slowly starting to slow down, so it is hoped that the Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 Series will be seen in the entire line -up pricing, which is very similar to the Pixel 9 family. But once again, it is definitely very quick to know.
Should you wait for Google Pixel 11?
Robert Triggs / Android Authority
Pixel 11 is unlikely to reach the other half of 2026, so if your phone is ready for upgrade right now, we will not recommend waiting until this time. He said, if your phone is just starting to show your age a little, there may be some other options that you can be interested in.
First, there is a pixel 10, which has made a switch to TSMC. It is expected that this will result in a overall high quality product, which has a significant performance compared to Pixel 9. This year’s Pixel is also an important milestone for the brand, which has been identified as ten years when the line arrives at the scene for the first time, so it is possible that this model may be some fun surprise for us.

Straight, this is Samsung’s best phone for 2025. The Samsung Galaxy S 25 Ultra is a 6.9 -inch QHD+ device with 12GB RAM, 256GB+ storage, embedded S pen, and Overclined Snapdragon 8 Elite SOC. The key upgrade on the lower S25 models is 200MP Main Camera and 100x space zoom.
If you are more fans of Pixel, Pixel 9 is still a good device, be aware that Pixel 10 can be a big step to move forward.

Google Pixel 11: What do we want to see
An upgraded telephoto lens
Ryan Hans / Android Authority
There is a lot of likes about the Pixel series, but in our studies there is a lack of telephoto lenses on a permanent complaint base model. However, Google corrected it with Pixel 10. The only problem is that telephoto lenses can improve on the base model.
According to reports, a new Next Jin telephoto camera is being developed with 100x zoom capabilities for the Pixel 11 series. Technically, it will use AI in conjunction with telephoto hardware to achieve such impressive zoom levels, but it will be an important step for the pixel series.
Now, it is quite possible that this advanced telephono lens will be specific to pro models, but at least, it is understandable that telephoto lenses on Base Pixel 11 may get some type of upgrade.
Fastest charger times are mandatory and so have a battery life that runs easily a day or ahead
Ryan Hans / Android Authority
In our Pixel 9 review tests, the 27W charging speed of Pixel 9 was still painful, it takes about 85 85 minutes to completely charge the phone. Although devices like the Galaxy S24 and S25 are not too fast, several Android brands, including OnePlus and Motorola, have a speed that is double or even three times the offer to offer a Pixel 9 offer. It is possible that it will change a bit with Pixel 10, but we doubt it.
On the bright side, even if Google sticks with 27W charging for its base model, we should still see improvement in battery life. According to Google’s leaked roadmap, the tanker G6 will focus more on battery life and thermals, which is on all other hardware upgrades. This means that we can eventually see a better battery life that continues to be reliable for electricity users, which has the ability to spread for those of us who are more conservative than the use of our phone.
