Google Pixel 11 Leaks Reveal Colors, Specs, and Price Ahead of August Launch

Amazon listings discovered and reported by 9to5Google, then corroborated by The Verge, Android Police, Android Authority, and Android Headlines, show the Pixel 11 lineup in seven colorways across three device tiers, along with pricing and specs for the base model. Google's Made by Google event is scheduled for August 12th, when the company will formally unveil the new phones.
The base Pixel 11 reportedly comes in three colors: Fuchsia (also listed as Hibiscus), Moss (also listed as Pistachio), and Midnight (also listed as Obsidian). The Pixel 11 Pro expands to four: Pine (Olive), Light Fog (Fog), Sterling (Frost), and Dune (Canyon). The Pixel 11 Pro Fold carries just two — Pine and Midnight — a narrower palette that echoes how Google has historically positioned its foldable as the more conservative tier in the lineup.
The dual naming convention itself is noteworthy. Android Police observed that Obsidian is a returning Pixel color while Hibiscus and Pistachio would be new. It's plausible these listings carry both an internal codename and a retail-facing name simultaneously — a pattern that has appeared in past Pixel leaks.
On specs, the Amazon listing for the base Pixel 11 reportedly showed an $899 price point, a 6.3-inch display at 1080x2424 resolution, 256GB of storage, and 12GB of RAM, per The Verge. Android Authority separately confirmed the 6.3-inch screen size. Without Pixel 10 launch pricing for direct comparison, it's unclear whether Google is holding the line or moving the base model upward in cost.
The listings also referenced an unannounced "Google Pixel Tag," which appears to be a Bluetooth tracker similar to Apple's AirTag or Samsung's SmartTag. Google has previously explored Find My Device network hardware without shipping a first-party option, so this reference alone doesn't confirm a shipping product alongside the phones.
9to5Google flagged concerns that warrant attention. Some listings referenced Android 16 as the shipping OS, despite Android 17 having already launched — an inconsistency unusual for a legitimate retail listing this close to launch. Other entries mentioned a SIM ejector tool, which most current Pixel 10 models don't require given their eSIM-first architecture in many markets. Android Headlines raised the same concern, suggesting the color names themselves could be placeholders rather than final retail branding.
Pixel launches have regularly leaked through retailer and carrier listings for years now. Sometimes these leaks are nearly exact on colors and pricing; sometimes they include placeholder specs that get corrected before launch. The Android 16 reference is the most telling detail: it suggests either a stale template used by whoever uploaded these listings, or specs locked in before Android 17 shipped and never refreshed. Neither scenario is unusual for pre-launch retail staging, but it does mean the specific numbers — RAM, storage, exact pricing — deserve more skepticism than the color leaks themselves, which tend to be harder to misrepresent convincingly when reported by four independent outlets.
The color strategy itself is more durable across the reporting. Expanding the Pro tier to four finishes while keeping the base model and Fold more limited aligns with how Google has differentiated its lineup in recent generations, using color variety as a way to signal which device sits where in the pricing tier. Whether "Hibiscus" and "Pistachio" survive as final names or get swapped before August 12th, the retail choreography around a major phone launch regularly tells us more about a device three weeks out than any official teaser does.
