Pixel 11: Google reveals new phones August 12, prices might jump

Google picked August 12, 2026, to show the world its upcoming Pixel 11 smartphones. Rumors suggest a feature-packed event, including a refreshed design and, maybe, some glowing LEDs on the back.

The date was "uncovered" by Arstechnica, citing sources close to the Mountain View company. Get ready to see what's brewing, though the real "wow" might not be just about looks. Google scheduled its Pixel 11 launch event for August 12, 2026, as reported by Arstechnica.

The real unknown, as always, is the price. Whispers suggest an increase over previous models, a move that might make many cringe, but which Google would justify with new features.

We're talking higher costs, perhaps to justify that extra "light" touch or a more powerful chip. After all, innovation comes at a price, right? Or maybe it's just Google testing our spending limits. But are we really ready to pay more for a little extra glow?

Pixels have always been a blend of excellent software and solid hardware. If prices go up, expectations climb even higher. Let's hope the "glowing LED" isn't the only real novelty to justify a bigger bill.
