A wave of since-deleted Amazon listings tied to the Pixel 11 series has leaked the phones’ full US pricing grid, and the headline is not a happy one for buyers: the Pixel 11 price looks set to climb by roughly $100 across the entire range, while the base storage tier is being pushed up from 128GB to 256GB at the same time. That is a price increase in two directions at once. The Pixel 11 reportedly starts at $899 for 256GB, versus the $799 the Pixel 10 asked for its 128GB base model last year. Treat everything here as a leak: the only thing Google itself has confirmed so far is the launch date.
To be clear up front, none of the numbers below come from Google. Google has confirmed an August 12 Made by Google event, and that date is the single verified fact in this story. Every price, spec, colour and accessory detail comes from the leaked listings and the outlets that viewed them.
How this leak surfaced
The specifics of where these listings came from are genuinely murky, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Product pages referencing the Pixel 11 series appeared on Amazon and were then pulled down quickly. Some outlets, including Android Authority, describe them as pages on Google’s own official Amazon storefront, reportedly surfaced by a reader searching internal Google model numbers (4CS4, CGY4, PKK4 and 9YI4). Others, including Android Police and Digital Trends, frame them more cautiously as draft, placeholder or third-party retail listings rather than a confirmed official upload.
In other words, nobody can say for certain whose listing this was or how it went live. What makes the leak worth taking seriously is that the actual pricing and spec figures are strikingly consistent across roughly half a dozen outlets that independently viewed screenshots of the same listings. The “whose upload was it” question is unresolved; the numbers themselves line up too well to dismiss.
Pixel 11 price: the leaked US grid
Here is how the reported US pricing breaks down. The pattern is the same for every model: about $100 more than the equivalent Pixel 10, and no more 128GB entry option, so the cheapest way into a Pixel 11 is a 256GB phone you pay more for whether or not you needed the extra space.
- Pixel 11: $899 (256GB) / $1,019 (512GB)
- Pixel 11 Pro: $1,099 (256GB) / $1,219 (512GB) / $1,449 (1TB)
- Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,299 (256GB) / $1,419 (512GB) / $1,649 (1TB)
For context, the Pixel 10 started at $799 for 128GB. So two things change at the entry point: the starting price rises $100 to $899, and the cheaper 128GB rung is gone entirely, leaving 256GB as the floor.
The RAM cut nobody asked for
The more awkward detail is on the Pro models. According to the leak, the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL now start with 12GB of RAM at their 256GB tier, and you only get 16GB if you step up to the 512GB or 1TB configurations. Last year’s Pixel 10 Pro started at 16GB. So the entry-level Pro this year reportedly costs more money and ships with less memory than the model it replaces.
Several reports tie this to an industry-wide surge in memory prices, the so-called “memory crisis.” That may well explain Google’s cost pressure, but it is an explanation for Google’s margins, not a benefit to you. From a buyer’s chair the maths is blunt: you are being asked to pay more, accept a storage upgrade you may not have wanted, and take a step down in base RAM against the phone you might be trading in. On a device Google positions around on-device AI, where RAM headroom directly affects how much runs locally, quietly starting the Pro tier 4GB lighter is the kind of trade-off that deserves to be named rather than waved through as an unavoidable supply-chain fact.
Pixel 11 specs from the leaked listings
The listings also filled in key hardware details for the standard and XL models. As with everything here, these are leaked figures, not Google spec sheets, and at least one detail (screen resolution) varied between sources, so we are keeping that loose.
Pixel 11
- Display: 6.3-inch OLED, 120Hz
- RAM: 12GB (both storage tiers)
- Battery: 4,985mAh
- Front camera: 13MP
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 6, Wi-Fi 6E
- Weight: ~204g
Pixel 11 Pro XL
- Display: 6.8-inch OLED, 120Hz
- Battery: 5,115mAh
- Front camera: 13MP
- Weight: ~226g
The Pixel 11 Pro sits between the two, with a 4,850mAh battery and the same 13MP front camera per the listings.
Colours
The standard Pixel 11 is reported to come in four shades: Frost, Pistachio, Hibiscus and Obsidian. For the Pro and Pro XL, three colours are consistent across sources — Dune, Light Fog and Pine — while the fourth varies by report, listed as either “Sterling” or “Midnight” depending on the outlet, so treat that one as unsettled.
A “Google Pixel Tag” tracker? Interesting, if true
One of the odder finds is an accessory reference in the listings that Android Police flagged as a “Google Pixel Tag” — apparently an AirTag-style item tracker. This is worth flagging clearly: no such Google product exists today, and it only turned up as an accessory reference inside these listings, with no separate confirmation. File it firmly under speculative. If it is real, it would be Google’s answer to Apple’s AirTag and Samsung’s SmartTag, but right now it is a line item in a leaked page and nothing more.
What about India?
No India pricing or availability has leaked or been announced — this is a US-listing leak. Historically, Pixel phones have launched in India at or shortly after the US and global reveal, and the Pixel 10 series started at around ₹79,999 here. If that pattern holds and the reported ~$100 US increase carries over, Indian pricing could land above the Pixel 10 as well. To be clear, that last part is our own read on the trend, not a leaked or reported India figure; there is no confirmed India price yet.
Confirmed vs rumoured
To keep this honest: the August 12, 2026 Made by Google event is the only Google-confirmed element here. Every price, storage tier, RAM figure, spec, colour and the Pixel Tag accessory is leak or rumour drawn from the deleted Amazon listings and outlet reporting. Google can still change configurations or pricing before launch, and listings pulled this fast are exactly the sort that sometimes carry placeholder errors. We will update once Google makes it official.
