Pixel 11, Pixel Watch 5 and Pixel Tag expectations
Google is expected to announce four Pixel 11 models: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Business Standard reports that Google has confirmed pre-orders will open on the day of the event.
Leaks cited by Business Standard point to Google’s Tensor G6 chip and Android 17 across the Pixel 11 range. The standard Pixel 11 is expected to feature a roughly 5,000mAh battery and three rear cameras: a 48-megapixel main, 13-megapixel ultrawide and 10-megapixel telephoto sensor.
The Pixel 11 Pro could use a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display and a 50MP main camera paired with 48MP ultrawide and periscope telephoto cameras. The Pro XL is expected to use similar hardware in a larger body with a 6.8-inch 120Hz LTPO OLED screen and a battery exceeding 5,000mAh.
The foldable model is expected to have an approximately eight-inch internal display, a 6.4-inch cover screen, Tensor G6 and a triple-camera system with 5x optical zoom. Improvements to its hinge and design have also been reported.
Google is also expected to introduce the Pixel Watch 5 in 41mm and 45mm sizes. Reported features include an LTPO AMOLED display, 3GB of RAM—up from 2GB—and possible Gemini Intelligence features, while the watch may retain Qualcomm’s SW5100 platform.
The Pixel Tag remains less certain. If announced, it would be Google’s first Bluetooth tracker, working with the company’s Find Hub ecosystem to locate items such as keys and bags. Google has not confirmed the product, and pricing, battery life and availability remain unknown.
