Google Pixel 11, Pixel Watch 5, And Pixel Tag Lead A Packed Made By Google 2026

Google’s next phones and wearables are expected to bring new AI features, higher prices and a first smart tag as the company expands its hardware lineup.

  • On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, Google will unveil the Pixel 11 series—including the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold—alongside the Pixel Watch 5 and Pixel Tag.
  • Powering the new smartphones is Google's next-gen Tensor G6 chip paired with the Titan M3 security chip, enabling advanced on-device Gemini features without constant cloud reliance.
  • Google confirmed a $100 price increase across the Pixel 11 series due to rising component costs, with the base Pixel 11 starting at $899 and the entire lineup now beginning at 256GB storage.
  • The Pixel Watch 5 arrives with Gemini Intelligence and massively improved sleep tracking, priced $50 higher than Watch 4 models, while the Pixel Tag uses UWB technology for precise tracking at €35 in Europe.
  • Android 17 installs out of the box on the Pixel 11 family, mandating 16GB system memory for local Gemini LLM workloads while establishing the Google Play Store as a strict app gatekeeper.
