If you’ve been looking to upgrade to a new Google Pixel smartphone, this is a good time to do it. Google has launched the Pixel 11 Series smartphones, and they are now available for pre-order on Amazon US with limited-time offers.
The base model in the series, the Google Pixel 11, now comes with 256GB of storage and starts at $899 in the US. If you pre-order it from Amazon US, you can get a $100 Amazon Gift Card with the purchase. This is a limited-time offer, valid until August 27, 2026, at 11:59pm PST, while supplies last and subject to availability.
The Pixel 11 is available in four colors: Frost, Pistachio, Hibiscus, and Obsidian. We especially like the new Hibiscus color — check it out.
Under the hood, the Pixel 11 is powered by Google’s latest Tensor G6 processor, along with the new Titan M3 security coprocessor.
The Pixel 11 features a 6.3-inch 20:9 Actua display with a 60–120Hz variable refresh rate. The Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro Fold models support a wider 1–120Hz range. The Pixel 11’s display can reach up to 2,000 nits in HDR and up to 3,000 nits peak brightness, making it easier to see outdoors and in direct sunlight.
The base Pixel 11 comes with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. You can also choose the 512GB variant, which also has 12GB RAM and uses Zoned UFS for faster performance. There is no 16GB RAM variant announced, so if you want more RAM, you’ll need to move up to the Pixel 11 Pro or Pixel 11 Pro XL.
Google has equipped the Pixel 11 with a 4,985mAh battery and support for 30W USB-C fast charging, which can charge the phone up to 55% in about 30 minutes. It also supports Qi2.2-certified wireless charging at up to 25W.
For photography, the Pixel 11 gets a 48MP main camera with Macro Focus, a 13MP ultrawide camera, and a 10.8MP 5x telephoto lens. On the front, there is a 10.5MP Dual PD selfie camera with autofocus.
The new Google Pixel Camera also brings features such as Magic Capture, Camera Looks, and Super Zoom up to 30x. The rear camera supports 4K video recording at 24/30/60fps, while the front camera can also record 4K video at 30/60fps.
For durability, the Pixel 11 uses Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front, along with a Gorilla Glass Victus 2 polished back and a satin-finish spacecraft-grade aluminum frame. It also has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, so you don’t have to worry as much about using the phone in the rain.
Like last year’s model, Google is offering seven years of OS, security, and Pixel Drop updates. The Pixel 11 ships with Android 17 out of the box.
