Google has officially introduced its next-generation smartphone lineup, consisting of the base Google Pixel 11, the Pixel 11 Pro, the Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the foldable Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
Pre-orders for the new devices are now open, with official retail availability set for August 20. Alongside the global release, Finnish buyers are receiving an unusually unique localized pre-order incentive: a free iconic Finnish Jopo bicycle with their purchase through select regional retailers.
Powering the entire Pixel 11 series is Google's new Tensor G6 chipset, which delivers a 20 percent improvement in processor energy efficiency, 25 percent faster web browsing, and 15 percent faster app loading times. The dedicated Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) sees a 50 percent boost in AI compute performance, enabling lower-latency on-device processing for Gemini Nano.
Security is handled by the Titan M3 chip featuring post-quantum encryption. In terms of software, new capabilities include automatic filler-word removal in voice typing, Gboard writing tools, system-wide Circle to Search from the camera app, and seamless Quick Share integration with iOS and macOS AirDrop. Pro model buyers also receive six months of Google AI Pro, which includes expanded Gemini limits, 5TB of cloud storage, and Google Health Premium.
Visually, the lineup retains Google's signature aesthetic while updating the camera bar with edge-to-edge glass and a thinner profile. All models carry an IP68 dust and water resistance rating.
A notable addition to the Pro models is HiLight, a ring of LED lights around the camera flash that provides subtle visual alerts on the back of the phone, indicating incoming calls or Gemini activity when the device is resting face down.
The Pixel 11 features a 6.3-inch Actua display reaching 3,000 nits of peak brightness, while the Pro (6.3-inch) and Pro XL (6.8-inch) step up to 1–120Hz Super Actua LTPO OLED panels peaking at 3,600 nits with an upgraded anti-scratch coating.
Camera capabilities have seen upgrades across the board. The base Pixel 11 includes a 48-megapixel main camera that captures 56 percent more light, a 13-megapixel ultrawide, and a 10.8-megapixel 5x telephoto lens. The Pro and Pro XL step up to a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 48-megapixel ultrawide, and a 48-megapixel 5x telephoto lens capable of up to 120x Pro zoom, alongside a 42-megapixel front-facing camera. The entire lineup benefits from Magic Capture, instant night shooting that is up to 4.5 times faster, 8K Video Boost on Pro models, and improved video stabilization.
The foldable Pixel 11 Pro Fold is sleeker than its predecessor, measuring 5.0 mm unfolded and 10.1 mm folded, while weighing 239 grams. It features a three times stronger hinge mechanism, composite back panel, and IP68 durability. Its outer screen measures 6.5 inches, while the inner folding panel opens to an 8-inch Super Actua Flex display reaching 3,600 nits. Running on 16GB of RAM and the Tensor G6 chip, it takes advantage of Android 17's new multi-window Floating Bubbles and dual-screen camera preview features.
Battery life across the series is rated for over 30 hours, supporting Qi2.2-certified Pixelsnap magnetic wireless charging up to 25W, with wired fast charging taking the Pro XL to 75 percent in roughly 30 minutes. In Europe, pricing starts at 1,049 euros for the 256GB Pixel 11, 1,259 euros for the Pixel 11 Pro, 1,469 euros for the Pixel 11 Pro XL, and 2,089 euros for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
For customers located in Finland, the launch is accompanied by localized pre-order promotions running from August 12 to September 30, 2026. Finnish retailers Gigantti, Elisa, and DNA are offering a free Helkama Jopo bicycle in one of seven color options with the purchase of any Pixel 11 model.
The offer is valid exclusively in Finland, limited to one per customer, and requires registering the receipt and IMEI code on a dedicated portal by October 14. Alternatively, purchases made directly through the Finnish Google Store until September 1 offer up to 400 euros in store credit and bundle discounts on the new Pixel Watch 5.
