Leaked Pixel 11 prices show Google phones could get pricier for less choice

Leaked pricing details for Google’s upcoming Pixel 11 lineup suggest the phones could become more expensive in Europe while offering fewer storage choices at the entry level. The leak, first reported by French deals website Dealabs, claims all Pixel 11 models could start with 256GB of storage, with the 128GB option dropped entirely.

The leaked European starting prices are: Pixel 11 at €999 for 256GB and €1,129 for 512GB; Pixel 11 Pro at €1,199 for 256GB, €1,329 for 512GB and €1,589 for 1TB; Pixel 11 Pro XL at €1,399 for 256GB, €1,529 for 512GB and €1,789 for 1TB; and the foldable Pixel 11 Pro Fold at €1,999 for 256GB, €2,129 for 512GB and €2,389 for 1TB. No US pricing has leaked so far.

Google is set to unveil the Pixel 11 series — expected to include the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold — on August 12.

Leaked rumours suggest the devices’ physical silhouettes will remain largely identical to previous generations, with one notable exception: a rumoured ‘Pixel Glow’ physical notification indicator. Analysts have also noted that rising global tech component costs will impact the phones’ final retail prices and baseline specifications.
