Google launches Pixel 11 lineup with Tensor G6 chip, new HiLight LED, and $100 price increases on base and Fold models
Google unveiled its full Pixel 11 family, the base Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pro XL, and Pro Fold, all running the new Tensor G6 chip with upgraded cameras, brighter displays, and longer battery life, alongside price increases on multiple models.
The Pixel 11 family sets a new hardware baseline for Android development on Google's own silicon, with the base model now shipping 256GB storage and 12GB RAM as its floor. Engineers testing apps on Pixel devices should note the Tensor G6 performance claims, the new HiLight LED interaction model on Pro models, and the camera hardware changes that may affect apps relying on camera APIs.
