Google has officially introduced its new Pixel 11 lineup, featuring three slab phones: Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro XL, along with a foldable model.
Pre-orders for the Pixel 11 series have begun in the US, with sales scheduled to start on August 20.

A key change across the range is the increase in base storage to 256GB, up from 128GB on the previous generation.
Google says this allows the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro to maintain the same effective pricing as the 256GB versions of last year's Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro.
Tensor G6 powers the Pixel 11 lineup
The Pixel 11 series is powered by Google's new Tensor G6 chipset.
According to Google, the new processor improves web browsing performance by 25% and app launch speeds by 15% compared with the previous-generation Tensor G5.
The chip is designed to work with the latest Gemini Nano models, enabling more on-device AI processing.
Google has also added a new Titan M3 security co-processor on all Pixel 11 phones.
The new generation puts Gemini features more prominently into the software experience.
All three conventional Pixel 11 models have a thinner body than their predecessors.
Google has redesigned the camera strip to be narrower and extended the glass design across the back of the phone.
