Google Confirms Pixel 11 Series Launch with Price Increases Due to Memory Costs

Analysed 27 Jul 2026·9 sources analysed·India·Technology
Google Confirms Pixel 11 Series Launch with Price Increases Due to Memory CostsPreviousNext

Google has confirmed that its upcoming Pixel 11 series, including the standard, Pro, Pro XL, and Pro Fold models, will launch on August 12 with higher prices due to a global supplier-driven RAM memory crisis. The company cited a significant surge in memory costs, with prices for 1GB of RAM rising sharply, impacting production expenses. Google is discontinuing 128GB base models, starting the lineup at 256GB, which partly offsets the price increase. Exact pricing details will be announced at the launch event.
