Pixel 11 Gets a Bigger Base, while Pro XL and Fold Move Further Upmarket

Google’s next Pixel lineup is shaping up around a clear split in strategy. The standard Pixel 11 is expected to feel more generous out of the box, while the Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold are said to climb higher in price.

According to a leak from France, all four models in the series — Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold — will start with 256GB of storage. The same report says Google plans to announce the phones on 11 August, open pre-orders that day, and begin sales on 20 August.

What the reported pricing looks like in Europe

Model256GB512GB1TB
Pixel 11€999 / £879€1,129 / £999
Pixel 11 Pro€1,199 / £1,079€1,329 / £1,199€1,589 / £1,429
Pixel 11 Pro XL€1,399 / £1,279€1,529 / £1,399€1,789 / £1,629
Pixel 11 Pro Fold€1,999 / £1,799€2,129 / £1,919€2,389 / £2,149

The pricing table suggests the main change is not a cheaper entry point, but a higher base capacity across the series. Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro reportedly started at 128GB, so the move to 256GB on Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro changes the value equation even if the 256GB prices remain aligned with the previous generation.

That shift matters most for buyers who store large photo libraries, videos, and apps on their phones. It also means the baseline configuration is now closer to what many users would previously have had to pay extra to get.

Where the biggest increase lands

The steepest adjustments are said to hit the top-end models. The Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold are both reported to rise by €100 across every storage tier, pushing them further into premium flagship territory.

For buyers comparing the lineup, that creates a clearer gap between the standard and premium models. The Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro appear to offer the most stable pricing structure, while the XL and Fold carry the stronger upward pressure.

The leak also says the 1TB version of every model will only be sold in Midnight Haze. That detail narrows the choice for the highest-capacity buyers, especially for users who want the largest storage option and a specific finish.

If these figures prove accurate, Google is positioning the Pixel 11 family with a more premium starting point while preserving a relatively steady price structure on the base and Pro models. The real pressure, at least on paper, is concentrated on the Pro XL and Fold, which appear to absorb the clearest price jump in the lineup.
