Hours before its expected global unveiling on August 12, 2026, the potential India pricing for the Google Pixel 11 series has reportedly surfaced online. The leaks indicate that consumers in India might face a substantial price hike for the new smartphones, with some models seeing increases of up to ₹14,000 compared to their predecessors.
Expected Price Hikes Across Pixel 11 Models
According to a report by Gizbot, citing unnamed but reliable sources, the base model of the Google Pixel 11 is anticipated to launch in India at ₹89,999. This represents a ₹10,000 increase from the Pixel 10's launch price of ₹79,999.
For the professional-grade variants, the Google Pixel 11 Pro is rumored to start at ₹1,19,999, while the Pixel 11 Pro XL could be priced at ₹1,34,999 for their base storage configurations. These figures also reflect a ₹10,000 jump from the Pixel 10 Pro (₹1,09,999) and Pixel 10 Pro XL (₹1,24,999) respectively.
The premium foldable, the Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold, is expected to bear the steepest increase, with a projected starting price of ₹1,86,999. Its predecessor launched at ₹1,72,999, indicating a ₹14,000 surge for the new iteration.
Global Factors Driving Price Increases
The reported price adjustments are largely attributed to the ongoing global memory chip crises and the increasing costs of components. Google itself has previously acknowledged that higher memory and component expenses could lead to more expensive smartphones across the industry.
While these leaked prices offer an early glimpse, it is important to note that they remain unconfirmed. Official pricing for the Google Pixel 11 series in India is expected to be announced shortly after the global launch, likely on the morning of August 13.
