Google's Made by Google 2026 event saw the unveiling of three new Pixel smartphones: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. The Pixel 11 features a thinner camera bar than its predecessor, with a more robust all-glass surface covering the entire width of the device. Storage capacity is increased to a base of 256GB, up from 128GB in the Pixel 10, with a $100 price increase reflecting the decision to drop the 128GB option.
Durability improvements include enhanced drop resistance and an anti-scratch display coating on the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL models. The Pixel 11 Pro launches at $1,099, $100 more than the Pixel 10 Pro.
The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is introduced as a nearly 10% lighter and 1mm thinner version of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, boasting slimmer bezels, a 48-megapixel main camera, and 30x Super Zoom. Google has also improved its IP68 water and dust resistance on this model. The new foldable integrates a glass-fiber composite back cover and a redesigned hinge for added protection against cracking and inner display damage, making it three times more durable than its predecessor.
Google announced several Gemini-powered features at the event. Live Transcribe will now support American Sign Language, translating signing into text in real-time using the Pixel Camera. A new voice-input feature, Rambler, understands natural, unstructured speech, including filler words and run-on sentences. Additionally, Circle to Search becomes more integrated into the Pixel Camera, enabling users to identify objects, translate text, and ask questions about their surroundings with ease.
