Google's $1,300 Pixel 11 Pro XL will need one aggressive move to justify its price

The Google Pixel 11 Pro XL is expected to be priced at $1,300. According to Android Police, recent rumors suggest that the Google Pixel 11 Pro lineup will see a price hike this year, despite entry-level models reportedly shipping with less RAM.

The Pixel 11 Pro XL is expected to have a 6.8-inch OLED display, a Tensor G6 processor, and up to 16GB of RAM, as reported by Tom's Guide. In comparison, the iPhone 18 Pro Max is rumored to have a starting price of $1,199-$1,299, a 6.9-inch OLED display, and up to 12GB of RAM.

The next Made by Google event is slated for August 12, where the Pixel 11 Pro XL is expected to be unveiled, as per Tom's Guide.
