Google Pixel 11 to launch with price hike and doubled storage

Google is set to unveil its Pixel 11 series on August 12th, with leaks suggesting a price increase and doubled base storage to 256GB, mirroring a strategy previously employed by Samsung with its Galaxy S26 lineup. While the exact U.S. pricing remains unconfirmed, European prices indicate a €100 hike for the Pixel 11 Pro models and a similar effective increase for the base Pixel 11 due to the removal of the 128GB option. Google's pricing strategy is influenced by its hardware serving as a distribution channel for its software ecosystem, allowing for greater flexibility in discounts compared to companies like Samsung.
