The Google Pixel series is one of the most highly anticipated launches of the year, and the case was no different for the Pixel 11 lineup.

Right off the bat, the new Pixel 11 phones come with some key upgrades, be it fresh colours, a new chipset, better cameras, and even the HiLight feature for the Pro and Fold models. Apart from these changes, Google is doubling down on AI on the Pixel devices with new Gemini features too. Here is everything you need to know about the Google Pixel 11 series.

Google Pixel 11 launch and price in India

The Google Pixel 11 comes in four colourways.

Pricing has become tricky in 2026 as smartphone makers face rising memory costs, and Google is not immune either. The Pixel 11 starts at Rs 89,999 in India, up from Rs 79,999 for the Pixel 10. But you get double the base storage at 256GB instead of 128GB.

The Google Pixel 11 Pro is priced at Rs 1,19,999, up from Rs 1,09,999 last year, again with double the storage. But there is a twist. The Pro Pixels now start at 12GB of RAM instead of 16GB in older Pixels. Similarly, the Pixel 11 Pro XL is priced at Rs 1,34,999.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold sees the biggest increase in price as it costs Rs 1,86,999. Its predecessor, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold was available for Rs 1,72,999 in India. The foldable Pixel comes in a single 16GB/512GB variant.

Google has opened pre-orders for all the Pixel 11 devices. You can also get an instant cashback of Rs 10,000, along with a Rs 9,000 exchange bonus. The Pixel 11 series goes on sale on August 20.

Google Pixel 11 key features

HiLight is available in all three Pixel 11 Pro models.

The new features for the Pixel 11 series are less about one dramatic trick and more about making the phones feel smarter in day-to-day use. Google has managed to bring in some notable performance and efficiency gains with the Tensor G6 chipset across all models.

A key highlight of the Pixel 11 Pro models was the HiLight (no pun intended). You get a small light ring surrounding the flash on the three phones that lights up for calls or when you are using Google Gemini. Google does plan to add more functionality to the HiLight soon.

Speaking of which, Google is leaning hard into Gemini Intelligence. The Pixel 11 range can handle more task automation across apps, and Gemini can even dial businesses to help complete bookings and orders.

New additions include Gboard Rambler, which cleans up dictated text by removing filler words, Proactive Assistance for contextual suggestions, and a location-aware At a Glance experience that can surface store cards or restaurant information. Live Translate is also expanding beyond calls to supported videos and podcasts.

On top of that the Pixel 11 gets a much larger main sensor, while the Pro and Pro XL have received upgrades to the main and telephoto cameras. Google has also added new AI camera features including Magic Capture that is designed to pick the best HDR-plus photos and videos from a burst of frames, which should help users stay in the moment instead of tapping away.

Camera Looks lets users apply different visual styles at the time of capture, so photos can look warmer, moodier or cleaner straight out of the camera. Instant Night Sight is meant to speed up low-light shooting, while features such as Pro Stable Video, Creator Suite tools and Sign-to-Text on the Fold push the new Pixels further towards creator-friendly and accessibility-focused use.
