Google Pixel 11 Pro: Price, Specs, and What's New at $1,099

The Google Pixel 11 Pro is now widely available after debuting at the Made by Google event in New York on August 12, with wide availability landing August 20. The new flagship starts at $1,099, a higher entry price than last year's model, which Google attributes to a global memory cost spike hitting the whole phone industry.

A new processor and modem
The Pixel 11 Pro runs on Google's Tensor G6 chip, built on a 2nm process, paired with a new modem meant to fix the connectivity complaints that dogged past Pixel phones. Google says the modem change was one of the most requested fixes from Pixel 10 owners, and early testing suggests call drops and slow handoffs between towers are less common.

Brighter display, longer zoom
Google gave the Pixel 11 Pro a brighter screen and a camera system that reaches further into zoom range than the Pixel 10 Pro, a change reviewers have called out as one of the more noticeable upgrades this generation. Outdoor visibility, a common complaint with past Pixel displays, also appears improved based on early hands-on impressions.

HiLight and Gemini
A new feature called HiLight adds a circular cluster of LEDs on the back of the Pixel 11 Pro that glows during Gemini conversations or when a notification comes in, a small but visible signal that ties the phone's hardware to Google's AI assistant. It is a design choice unique to this generation and one of the more talked-about additions since launch.

No 128GB option
Google dropped the base storage tier this year, so the Pixel 11 Pro starts at a higher capacity than before, which is part of why the entry price climbed alongside the memory-driven cost increase. Buyers comparing the Pixel 11 Pro to last year's model should factor in that the effective jump in storage softens some of the price gap.

Four models in the lineup
The Pixel 11 Pro sits alongside the standard Pixel 11, the larger Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, giving buyers a range of sizes and price points within the same generation.

Early reviews are mixed
Outlets including Ars Technica and The Verge have praised the camera and build quality of the Pixel 11 Pro while questioning how much everyday value the expanded AI features add for typical buyers. The consensus so far is a strong camera and design paired with AI additions that feel more incremental than transformative.
