Google announced the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL on August 12, 2026. The Pixel 11 Pro keeps a compact 6.3-inch size but brings a brighter LTPO display, a redesigned 48MP telephoto, a 42MP front camera, and up to 16GB of RAM. Here is what is actually new, the full specs as Google lists them, and how the price looks around the world.
Key Takeaways
- Tensor G6: Google’s new chip with the Titan M3 security coprocessor, and 12GB to 16GB of RAM depending on storage.
- Display: a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED at 1280 x 2856 with 1 to 120Hz refresh and up to 3600 nits peak brightness.
- Cameras: 50MP main, 48MP ultrawide with Macro Focus, 48MP 5x telephoto, and Pro Zoom up to 120x.
- HiLight: an LED notification feature that lets the phone glow for timely updates while it is face down.
- Updates: Android 17 at launch and 7 years of OS, security and Pixel Drop updates.
- Price: starts at $1,099 in the US, which includes six months of Google AI Pro according to Google’s launch post.
What Is Actually New
1. A brighter Super Actua display with tougher glass
Google lists up to 2400 nits for HDR and up to 3600 nits peak brightness, with a 1 to 120Hz LTPO panel. Google says the new anti-scratch coating gives more than double the scratch resistance of the previous generation. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 is used on the front and back.
2. Camera upgrades
The Pixel 11 Pro has a new 50MP main sensor, a 48MP ultrawide with Macro Focus, and a redesigned 48MP 5x telephoto that Google says collects 30% more light. Pro Zoom reaches 120x, and Portrait Mode works at 5x (not for all cameras, apps or modes). Instant Night Sight is available only on the Pro and Pro XL and Google says it is up to 4.5 times faster. The 42MP front camera has autofocus and a 103 degree field of view.
3. Tensor G6 and Gemini features
The Tensor G6 runs the latest Gemini Nano model on the phone. Google highlights Gemini Intelligence for multistep tasks across more than 40 apps, and Live Translate for real-time speech-to-speech translation. Google has not published benchmark numbers for the chip, so wait for independent tests before judging speed.
4. HiLight LED notifications
HiLight is a Pro-series feature that glows to show timely updates while the phone is face down.
5. Charging and battery
The Pixel 11 Pro has a 4850 mAh typical battery and reaches 55% in about 30 minutes with a 30W or higher USB-C PPS charger (sold separately). Pixelsnap wireless charging supports Qi2.2 at up to 25W, which Google says is new for the Pro models.

Google Pixel 11 Pro Price Around the World
These are the prices shown on each Google Store country page on October 18, 2026. Google does not show a separate price for each storage tier on these pages, so only the starting price is listed. Where the store showed a usual price next to a current one, both are given. Tax treatment differs by country.
| Country | Currency | Starting price shown |
|---|---|---|
| United States | USD | $1,099 (Google launch price) |
| United Kingdom | GBP | £1,079 |
| Germany (Eurozone) | EUR | €1,099 (usual price €1,199) |
| Canada | CAD | C$1,499 |
| Australia | AUD | A$1,849 |
| India | INR | ₹119,999 |
| Japan | JPY | ¥174,800 |
We could not verify a Pixel 11 Pro price for the UAE, or for each storage tier, so those are left out. Google’s store pages did not show a separate Pro XL price in these countries.
Pixel 11 Pro Price in Pakistan
Google does not officially sell Pixel phones in Pakistan, so there is no official local price for the Pixel 11 Pro. Imported units are sold by third-party sellers, and their prices vary from seller to seller and change with the exchange rate. Cellular use in Pakistan also requires PTA registration, and a phone that is not registered can lose network service. Check the seller’s warranty terms and PTA status before you pay. Because Google lists the Pixel 11 Pro with dual eSIM support, also confirm with your network that it supports eSIM.
Should You Buy It?
Buy it if you want a Pro camera system and bright display in a more compact body, with up to 1TB of storage.
Skip it if you want the largest battery and faster wired charging, since the Pixel 11 Pro XL has both. If the Pro features are not important to you, the Pixel 11 costs less. Also check that your network supports eSIM, because Google lists dual eSIM for this phone.
