The Google Pixel 11 Is Here — and It Costs $100 More
The Google Pixel 11 Is Here
A new chip, camera upgrades — and a $100 price bump across the line.
Google's Pixel 11 family is officially out, and it's a solid year-over-year step up — a new G6 chip, camera improvements, and Google's deep AI features. The catch: every model costs about $100 more than its Pixel 10 counterpart, with the base Pixel 11 starting at $899. Here's the rundown, and the smarter-value alternative if that price bump stings.
What's new in the Pixel 11
- Google G6 chip with 12GB RAM and 256GB base storage.
- 6.3-inch OLED, 120Hz display and a triple rear camera with new AI photo features.
- Full lineup: Pixel 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro XL, and the foldable 11 Pro Fold.
- Price: starts at $899 — about $100 up across the board.
The bigger picture: flagships keep getting pricier
The Pixel 11's price hike is part of a pattern we're seeing across the board this year — new flagships from every brand keep creeping up. That's exactly why more shoppers are going certified: you get a recent, excellent phone for a fraction of new-flagship pricing, warrantied and unlocked. If you love Android, you don't have to pay $899+ to get a great phone.
