Google Pixel 11 Leaks Roundup: Bigger Storage, Higher Prices, and a First Look at ‘Pine’
This Google Pixel 11 leaks roundup reveals major changes before the August 12 hardware event. Recent reports clarify pricing, storage options, and new colors.
Storage Shake-Up: Goodbye, 128GB
First, Google appears set to drop the 128GB entry-level tier across the entire lineup. Therefore, every model will reportedly start at 256GB storage.
The leaked storage tiers break down as follows:
- Pixel 11: 256GB and 512GB
- Pixel 11 Pro: 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB
- Pixel 11 Pro XL: 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB
- Pixel 11 Pro Fold: 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB
This shift aligns Google with rival flagship makers who have already phased out lower base storage models.
What It Will Cost You
However, extra storage does not come free. Leaked European pricing suggests increases of roughly €100 across most models compared to last year.
| Model | Storage | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Pixel 11 | 256GB | €999 / £879 |
| Pixel 11 | 512GB | €1,129 / £999 |
| Pixel 11 Pro | 256GB | €1,199 / £1,079 |
| Pixel 11 Pro | 512GB | €1,329 / £1,199 |
| Pixel 11 Pro | 1TB | €1,589 / £1,429 |
| Pixel 11 Pro XL | 256GB | €1,399 / £1,279 |
| Pixel 11 Pro XL | 512GB | €1,529 / £1,399 |
| Pixel 11 Pro XL | 1TB | €1,789 / £1,629 |
| Pixel 11 Pro Fold | 256GB | €1,999 / £1,799 |
| Pixel 11 Pro Fold | 512GB | €2,129 / £1,919 |
| Pixel 11 Pro Fold | 1TB | €2,389 / £2,149 |
For the standard Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro, the new entry price matches last year’s 256GB variant cost. Conversely, the Pro XL and Pro Fold appear to get straight €100 price hikes at every tier.
No U.S. pricing has leaked yet. Analysts point to rising component costs as the likely driver behind this industry-wide price creep.
New Colors in This Google Pixel 11 Leaks Roundup
Additionally, a separate leak provides our first real look at the new Pine color option. This darker green reportedly comes to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
The render shows a muted green paired with a light gold frame and matching logo. The rear design looks largely familiar compared to previous models.
A Redesigned Camera Bar
Furthermore, the camera bar appears slightly narrower than last year. Lens cutouts now extend all the way to the edge without excess metal framing.
The layout has also shifted significantly:
- The main and ultrawide cameras now sit at the bottom of the bar.
- The telephoto lens occupies the top-right position.
- The camera flash appears noticeably larger than before.
That oversized flash module fuels speculation about Pixel Glow. However, it remains unclear exactly where a light ring would physically fit on this device.
The Bigger Color Lineup
Finally, Pine joins a broader list of rumored colors. Reports suggest the family also includes Light Sterling, Midnight Haze, Fuchsia, Moss, Light Fog, and Dune.
What This Means for Buyers
If you intended to buy higher storage anyway, the new baseline might work in your favor. However, the cheapest possible option is disappearing.
Patient buyers may find better value by waiting for post-launch discounts. Pre-orders are expected around August 12 with a possible on-sale date of August 20.
