Looking to get your hands on the latest Pixel devices? After weeks of leaks<\/a> and rumors<\/a>, Google has officially announced its next generation of Pixel phones and watches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The base Pixel 11 starts at $899, the Pro and Pro XL are $1,099 and $1,299 respectively, and the Pro Fold starts at $1,899. The watch comes in two sizes, with the smaller 41mm model starting at $399, and the larger 45mm model starting at $429. The phones are available for preorder now, and will ship on August 20th, 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If you\u2019re looking to preorder an unlocked phone on its own, your main options are Best Buy<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, and directly from the Google Store<\/a>. All three are running a similar introductory deal, where you\u2019ll receive a gift card for a future purchase at that retailer, with the value depending on which model you buy. The Pixel 11 includes a $100 gift card, the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL include a $200 gift card, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold includes a $350 gift card. Only Google lists an end date for the promotion, which is August 27th, 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If you\u2019d also like a Pixel Watch 5, Google is the best option, because you can opt to put the gift card towards the purchase of the Watch instead to earn an extra $50 on top of the value. For example, if you buy a Pixel 11 Pro, you can take a $200 gift card, or opt for $250 off the Pixel Watch 5 when purchased together. If you buy a Pixel 11 Pro Fold, the base model 41mm Pixel Watch 5 is free.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Each phone is powered by the new Tensor G6 processor, which Google says is capable of 25 percent faster web browsing and 15 percent improvement to app loading speeds over the Tensor G5. The camera and video features are a focus of the new Pixel 11 series phones. The new Magic Capture feature lets you forget about snapping a great shot, and instead stitches together a series of clips and photos from a longer video. All four phones also featuring upgraded batteries and fast charging, with wireless charging support for Qi2.2 up to 25W.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
