Google Pixel 11 Leaks Reveal Tensor G6 Chip, Colors, and Pricing

Amazon Listings Reveal Colorways and Hardware Specs

New details regarding the Google Pixel 11 family have surfaced through early, likely premature, Amazon listings. The listings, which appeared under the “Google Store” banner, provide a glimpse into both the design and the internal hardware of the upcoming smartphone series.

There is a notable discrepancy in naming conventions within the listings. While titles use color names like “Obsidian,” “Hibiscus,” and “Pistachio,” the product descriptions refer to them as “Midnight,” “Fuchsia,” and “Moss.” According to 9to5Google, the latter set aligns with previous leaks, suggesting the listings are likely internal drafts. Further findings indicate that the Pro models may arrive in “Dune,” “Light Fog,” “Pine,” and “Sterling” colorways.

The base model Pixel 11 is listed with a 6.3-inch display at 1080×2424 resolution, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. Gsmarena reports that the device weighs 204g and houses a 4,985 mAh battery. While some descriptions mention Android 16, industry expectations remain that the devices will ship with Android 17 upon their August release.

Tensor G6 Platform and Connectivity Shifts

At the heart of the Pixel 11 series is the new Tensor G6 chipset, codenamed “Malibu.” Android Police reports that the chip is expected to be manufactured on TSMC’s 2nm node, focusing on efficiency and sustained performance rather than peak benchmark scores. The architecture reportedly features a seven-core CPU, including one ARM C1-Ultra core at 4.11 GHz, four C1-Pro cores at 3.38 GHz, and two additional C1-Pro cores at 2.65 GHz.

A significant change for the hardware is the departure from Samsung-supplied modems in favor of a MediaTek M90 modem. This shift is intended to address long-standing connectivity issues, such as signal-related battery drain, which have historically impacted the Pixel line. Despite these efficiency gains, concerns remain regarding memory management; reports suggest the base model may ship with 8GB of RAM, a capacity that some analysts argue could struggle with intensive on-device AI tasks, such as those required by Gemini Intelligence.

Pricing and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold

The flagship foldable, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, is expected to see a price increase compared to its predecessor. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold launched at $1,799 for the 256GB model, but Android Central notes that rising memory and storage costs will likely push the new model to at least $1,899.

The upcoming foldable is anticipated to feature a 4,750 mAh battery and a refined design that aims to address the bulk of previous iterations. The entire Pixel 11 family is scheduled for a showcase event on August 12, with pre-orders expected to open immediately following the announcement and general sales beginning before the end of August.

Unverified Accessories and Design Features

The Amazon listings also mentioned a “Google Pixel Tag,” a potential tracking accessory that has been the subject of industry rumors for years but remains unreleased. Additionally, the Pixel 11 Pro is expected to feature a redesigned camera island covered in dark glass, moving away from the colored accents found on the Pixel 10 series. While these CAD-based renders provide a preview of the physical dimensions—suggesting a slightly thinner and more compact profile than the Pixel 10 Pro XL—official confirmation of these design elements and accessories will not occur until the August launch event.
