TL;DR
- Leaked prices suggest the standard Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro Fold will both cost $100 more than the Pixel 10 lineup.
- The base Pixel 11 will start at $899 (approx. ₹75,000) with 256GB of storage (up from 128GB) and 12GB of RAM. The extra storage may help offset the higher price.
- Pro models may drop RAM, with entry-level Pro versions rumored to start at 12GB instead of 16GB. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is said to start at $1,899.
Google will launch its next Pixel phones next month. Leaked prices for the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro Fold, and storage options suggest the lineup will cost more and shift the entry level, especially in markets like India, where currency conversion amplifies the impact. (For reference: $899 ≈ ₹75,000, $1,899 ≈ ₹1,58,000.)
Both the base Pixel 11 and the foldable model will cost $100 more. Google says the higher price addresses low base storage. At the same time, the company may cut RAM on some Pro models, which could frustrate power users.
Pixel 11: higher price, bigger storage baseline
The regular Pixel 11 will start at $899 for 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM, $100 more than the Pixel 10 at launch. The higher storage gives you more up front. If you used to buy a higher model just for more space, you now get more storage up front, along with yearly processor and camera upgrades.
The 512GB Pixel 11 should cost $1,019 (approx. ₹85,000). This makes the mid-tier model a likely choice for most buyers.

Pixel 11 Pro Fold: a $1,899 entry point
Google’s book-style foldable, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, is also expected to see a $100 increase. Leaked pricing includes:
- 256GB: $1,899 (approx. ₹1,58,000)
- 512GB: $2,019 (approx. ₹1,68,000)
- 1TB: $2,249 (approx. ₹1,87,000)
These prices keep the Pixel 11 Pro Fold in the ultra-premium range, close to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold and the OnePlus Open 2. The $100 jump puts the Pixel 11 Pro Fold just under $2,000, which may make some buyers hesitate.

The curious case of Pixel 11 Pro RAM
The leak does not include prices for the Pixel 11 Pro or the Pixel 11 Pro XL. The regular Pixel 11 stays at 12GB of RAM, but entry-level Pro models may also start at 12GB instead of 16GB. Google could use this to cut costs or push buyers to more expensive versions. If this happens, it will be one of the few times a Pro Pixel matches the regular model in RAM. Google may count on its AI memory management to make up the difference for most people, but tech fans and spec-focused buyers will notice.
What this means for the Pixel value equation
Google usually prices its phones below Samsung and Apple while covering the cost of its custom Tensor chips and AI features. A $100 price hike is a big deal, especially in places like India and Europe, where currency changes can make it worse. The extra storage on the Pixel 11 base model helps justify the higher price.
The bigger change is the possible RAM cut on the Pixel 11 Pro models. If Google drops the entry-level Pixel 11 Pro RAM from 16GB to 12GB, it signals the company wants to split its lineup more clearly. With the storage boost, Google is pricing its phones more competitively.
As always, these are pre-launch leaks, and Google will confirm final pricing when the Pixel 11 series is officially unveiled likely at its annual Made by Google event in the coming weeks.
