Google Pixel 11 Series Launch Confirmed for August 12 with Tensor G6
Google has officially dispatched invitations for its annual Made by Google hardware event scheduled for August 12, 2026. Official teasers confirm the debut of four distinct smartphones: the flagship Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the redesigned Pixel 11 Pro Fold. The announcement confirms months of supply-chain speculation surrounding Google's updated hardware roadmap.
A Complete Lineup: Pixel 11, Pro, XL, and Second-Gen Fold
At the heart of the Pixel 11 family is the newly engineered Tensor G6 system-on-chip. Transitioning away from legacy foundry partners, the Tensor G6 is manufactured on TSMC's advanced 3nm N3E node. Preliminary benchmark leaks indicate a 35% improvement in thermal efficiency and sustained performance, directly addressing past battery drain complaints.
