Google will unveil the Pixel 11 series and Pixel Watch 5 at a Made by Google event scheduled for August 12, 2026, in New York City, and leaked pricing suggests most of the lineup will cost more than its predecessors PhoneArena.

The pricing details, first published by French deal-tracking site Dealabs and subsequently picked up by 9to5Google, point to increases across nearly every Pixel Watch 5 and Pixel 11 configuration The Verge. The 41mm Pixel Watch 5 Wi-Fi model is rumored to start at $399, up $50 from the Pixel Watch 4's $349. The 41mm LTE variant would rise similarly, from $449 to $499. The 45mm models see smaller jumps: Wi-Fi climbs $30 to $429, LTE climbs $30 to $529. In euros, Dealabs lists the 41mm Bluetooth/Wi-Fi model at €419, or £369 in the UK Dealabs.

Dealabs frames this as a break from a two-year pricing plateau — the Pixel Watch line held steady across its prior two generations before this rumored bump.

On the phone side, the leaked figures show Google potentially dropping the 128GB storage tier from the base Pixel 11 entirely. If accurate, the entry Pixel 11 would start at €999 with 256GB as the base, versus the Pixel 10's €899 starting price with 128GB. The Pixel 11 Pro is rumored to open at €1,199, a €100 increase over the Pixel 10 Pro's €1,099. Both the Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold are said to carry flat €100 increases across their respective configurations, landing at €1,399 and €1,999 starting prices respectively. Notably, the 256GB configuration price across the Pixel 11 series is rumored to hold flat versus last year — the increases are concentrated at the entry tier, largely a function of the base storage capacity moving up.

The Verge attributes part of the pricing pressure to a global memory and storage shortage tied to rising AI-driven demand for DRAM and NAND flash The Verge. This is not a Google-specific phenomenon — component cost inflation driven by hyperscaler and AI accelerator demand for memory has been rippling through consumer electronics bills of materials for months, and smartphone and wearable makers sourcing the same DRAM and NAND supply chains are exposed to it regardless of their own AI ambitions.

On design, 9to5Google's leak — bylined by Ben Schoon — adds color options rather than pricing detail: a new "Pyrite" finish, a "Natural Silver – Polished" option spanning both 41mm and 45mm cases, and a "Dark Anthracite – Matte" finish exclusive to the 41mm size 9to5Google. These join what regulatory filings have already hinted at: devices believed to be the Pixel Watch 5 were logged with India's BIS certification database on June 1, 2026, consistent with a device approaching mass production ahead of an August launch AOL.

None of these figures are official. They originate from retail and leak channels rather than Google's own disclosures, and pricing in leaked retail listings has a track record of shifting — sometimes materially — between leak and keynote. Google has confirmed only the event date and location; it has not confirmed pricing, storage configurations, or color names for either product line.

The broader context worth flagging here is what the memory shortage narrative implies for the rest of the industry. If DRAM and NAND cost inflation driven by AI infrastructure buildout is filtering down into consumer hardware pricing at Google's scale, other OEMs sourcing from the same handful of memory fabs — Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron — face the same input cost pressure. Whether that translates into parallel price increases from Apple, Samsung, or others closer to their own autumn launch cycles is a reasonable question raised by this leak, though not one these sources answer directly.

If the storage-tier restructuring holds — 128GB disappearing as a Pixel 11 option — it also raises a practical question for anyone whose personal photo and video libraries have crept up over several device generations, since a forced jump to a 256GB floor changes the calculus of what "base model" actually costs at the point of sale. That kind of quiet capacity inflation, dressed as a fixed-price increase at the top line, tends to matter more to a general buyer than the sticker price itself.

Google's August 12 event will settle the specifics. Until then, the leaked numbers should be read as directionally informative rather than final: multiple outlets converging on similar figures from the same original Dealabs report lends the numbers some weight, but they remain unconfirmed by Google itself.
