Pixel 11 Color Leak Suggests Vibrant Options and Price Hikes

A series of now-deleted Amazon listings, spotted by 9to5Google, has leaked potential colors and pricing for Google's upcoming Pixel 11 series, expected to launch on August 12. The listings suggest a bold departure from standard black and white, with vibrant hues across the lineup. However, the leaks should be taken with caution, as some details, like mentioning Android 16 (when Android 17 has already launched), raise doubts about authenticity.

The Colors

The base Pixel 11 is rumored to come in three lively colors: Hibiscus (fuchsia), Pistachio (green), and Obsidian (black) Source: Gizmodo. The Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL models may offer Olive green, Dune orange/coral, Fog gray, and Obsidian black Source: The Verge. Meanwhile, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is expected in only two colors: Pine green and Midnight black Source: The Verge. The vibrant "Hibiscus" and "Pistachio" shades have generated particular excitement, with one publication calling them "funky colors" Source: The Verge.

Pricing and Caveats

The listings also hinted at price increases. The base Pixel 11 is reportedly starting at $899 for 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM, a jump from the previous generation's $799 for 128GB Source: The Verge. The Pixel 11 Pro could start at $1,099, and the Pro Fold at $1,899 Source: Gizmodo. However, the listings were quickly removed, and 9to5Google advises taking the information with "a big grain of salt" Source: Engadget. Inconsistencies, such as references to Android 16 and a SIM ejector tool (unnecessary for most Pixel 10 models), suggest the listings may not be official. Google is expected to confirm details at its August 12 event.
