Google Unveils Pixel 11, Pixel Watch 5, and Pixel Tag Ahead of Made by Google 2026

Google has unveiled the Pixel 11 series, Pixel Watch 5, Pixel Tag, and updated Pixel Buds features ahead of Wednesday's Made by Google 2026 presentation.



The Pixel 11 family remains split across four devices. The standard Pixel 11 starts at $899 and now includes 256GB of base storage, a camera bar that is 40% thinner, a new 48-megapixel main sensor with 56% more light sensitivity, and 30x Super Zoom powered by the Tensor G6 chip. The Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL start at $1,099 and $1,299. Both Pro models feature Google's brightest-ever 3,600-nit Super Actua displays and a new anti-scratch coating that's more than twice as resistant as last year's Pixel 10 Pro. They also introduce HiLight, an LED ring around the camera flash that glows when Gemini is listening or when favorite contacts call. Camera upgrades include a redesigned 48-megapixel telephoto sensor with 30% more light sensitivity, 120x Pro Zoom, and Night Sight capture up to 4.5x faster.



Completing the lineup is the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, which starts at $1,899. Google says it is nearly 10% lighter and about 1mm thinner than its predecessor, with a glass-fiber composite back cover, a new gearless hinge, and an outer display protected by ceramic cover glass. Google says those changes make the foldable three times more durable than last year's model. It also features a 48-megapixel main camera, 30x Super Zoom, 16GB of RAM, and 30W wired charging.



Software is another major focus. The new phones expand Google's Gemini Intelligence features with broader agentic task automation, Rambler voice input, Circle to Search inside Pixel Camera, Sign-to-Text for American Sign Language, and Live Translate for videos and podcasts. New creative tools include Magic Capture, which analyzes hundreds of frames to automatically capture the best moments, Camera Looks, and a Creator Suite with a teleprompter, storyboard, and social media grid tools.


Tensor G6 powers many of those AI features and works with Google's new Titan M3 security chip to add post-quantum protections. All Pixel 11 models include seven years of OS, security, and Pixel Drop updates.

The Pixel Watch 5 starts at $399 for the 41mm model and $429 for the 45mm version. Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 Accelerated platform with 50% more RAM, the smartwatch delivers 20% faster performance overall. New health features include monthly blood pressure, insulin resistance, and sleep breathing quality trends, along with more accurate sleep stage tracking and Breathing Emergency Detection, which will launch first in Europe. Google says GPS route tracking offers 2x greater accuracy than previous generations.



Pixel Tag is Google's answer to Apple's second-generation AirTag. Priced at $29 or $99 for a four-pack, it works with Google's Find Hub network, can be located from a Pixel Watch, and can be rung with a Gemini voice command through Pixel Buds. It will be available beginning November 11. Google is also adding an Olive color for Pixel Buds Pro 2. September software updates will bring Dynamic ANC to the earbuds, while Gemini audio controls expand to both Pixel Buds Pro 2 and Pixel Buds 2a.



The Pixel 11 lineup and Pixel Watch 5 are available to pre-order now and will begin shipping on August 20.
