Google’s upcoming smartphone hardware lineup faces a shake-up as last-minute pricing leaks reveal starting costs for the Pixel 10 family alongside extensive hardware details for the forthcoming Pixel 11 series, featuring TSMC-fabricated Tensor chips and new storage tiers starting at 256GB.
With hours remaining before Google’s official hardware unveiling, the complete pricing structure for the Pixel 10 generation and Pixel Watch 4 has leaked, leaving few surprises for consumers tracking pre-order deals. The leak outlines flat pricing across several core models alongside notable price bumps for higher-capacity storage variants and specific accessories.
Pixel 10 Pricing and Storage Tiers Revealed Ahead of Launch
Google will keep the base Pixel 10 starting price unchanged at $799, with the 256GB variant priced at $899, according to details shared by tipster Evan Blass. The standard Pixel 10 Pro will also maintain its predecessor’s entry price point, with the 128GB model launching at $999 and the 256GB configuration set at $1,099. Higher-capacity models carry steeper premiums, pushing the 512GB version to $1,219 and the 1TB option to $1,449.
The larger Pixel 10 Pro XL shifts its baseline configuration, featuring a 256GB starting tier and a higher entry price of $1,199 compared to the previous generation’s 128GB starting tier at $1,099. Upgrading that model to 512GB storage costs $1,319, while the 1TB version reaches $1,549. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold retains its predecessor’s $1,799 starting price, adding a new 1TB variant priced at $2,149.
Pixel Watch 4 and Accessory Pricing Break Down
Despite early rumors suggesting the LTE version of the Pixel Watch 4 might drop by $50, the leaked price list indicates the smartwatch matches last year’s pricing across all variants.
| Device & Configuration | Leaked Price |

Pixelsnap accessories include the Pixelsnap Ring Stand at $29.99, the Pixelsnap Charger at $39.99, the Pixel Flex 67W Charger at $59.99, and the Pixelsnap Charger with Stand.
Pixel 11 Hardware Shifts to TSMC Fabrication and 256GB Base Storage
While the immediate hardware launch focuses on the Pixel 10 family, extensive last-minute leaks for the subsequent Pixel 11 series outline major internal redesigns detailed by 9to5Google. The 2026 lineup will consist of the base Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold, alongside the Pixel Watch 5 in 41mm and 45mm sizes, a new Pixel Buds Pro 2 colorway, and Google’s maiden first-party Android tracker, the Pixel Tag.
Under the hood, the Pixel 11 series introduces the Tensor G6 chip manufactured via TSMC’s 2nm process. The processor utilizes a 1+4+2 configuration featuring one C1 Ultra core clocked at 4.11GHz and four C1-Pro cores at 3.38GHz, paired with MediaTek M90 modems in place of previous Exynos hardware. Across the entire Pixel 11 lineup, Google is eliminating the 128GB base storage tier, making 256GB the new minimum.
Design Refinements, Colorways, and New Glow Indicators
The Pixel 11 retains a footprint similar to the Pixel 9 while introducing a fractionally thinner body and a revised camera bar. The visor area returns to an all-glass design reminiscent of the Pixel 6, eliminating the temperature sensor on Pro models. On the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro Fold, the LED flash functions as an RGB light.
Base models feature playful color finishes pairing matte frames with glossy glass backs, including Midnight Haze, Light Sterling, Fuchsia, and Moss. The Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL arrive in Midnight Haze, Light Fog, Pine, and a gold-tinted Dune with peach-toned back glass, while the Midnight Haze variant features an all-matte finish matching its frame to the back glass. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is offered strictly in Midnight Haze and Pine.
