The highlights of 'Made by Google '26' are the 'Pixel 11 series' and the 'Pixel Watch 5'. First, let's look at the information on the Pixel 11 series. It is expected that four models will be announced: Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. The official Google video for the Pixel 11 Pro is below, and it gives a general idea of the device's shape. The shape appears to be almost unchanged from the previous model .

More detailed information about the Pixel 11's shape and specifications has been revealed from information mistakenly posted on Amazon.com. A distinctive feature is the camera bar, which appears to be entirely black. It is said that there will be color variations in 'Midnight,' 'Fuchsia,' 'Moss,' 'Dune,' 'Light Fog,' 'Pine,' and 'Sterling.' The information also stated that the base model Pixel 11 will have a 6.3-inch 1080x2424 display, cost $899 (approximately 143,000 yen), and will come with 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM, as well as a 4985mAh battery (a slight increase from the Pixel 10's 4970mAh). However, 9to5google, which picked up on this information, cautioned that 'there are many questionable points, so we recommend not taking it at face value.'



Images of the 'Pixel 11 Pro,' which is said to be a demo unit sent to a mobile carrier, have also been leaked. Below are the 'Matte Black' and 'Dune' color options, from left to right.




Images of the Pixel 11 Pro Fold are also available.



One of the distinguishing features of the Pixel 11 series is its unique rainbow-colored rear LED. This feature, previously called 'Pixel Glow' and now known as 'HiLight,' is believed to be a replacement for the traditional flash, allowing for instant color changes. According to images circulating online, 'HiLight subtly illuminates when the phone is face down, for incoming calls from your favorite contacts, or during conversations with Gemini.'

Pixel Glow is officially called HiLight, I'd say.

However, according to information provided by well-known leaker @evowizz, the base model of the Pixel 11 may not have HiLight.




The Tensor G6 chip, expected to be featured in the Pixel 11 series, will be the first chip to utilize TSMC's 2nm process and is rumored to surpass the iPhone 18. It has been leaked that it will use at least one ARM C1 Ultra core (4.11GHz), four C1-Pro cores (3.38GHz), and two more C1-Pro cores (2.65GHz), and is predicted to deliver up to 16% higher performance than previous cores.

Regarding the camera, the Pixel 11 is expected to feature a dual-camera system on the back consisting of a 48MP main sensor, a 13MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 10MP telephoto lens, supporting up to 30x super zoom. The Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL models are said to have undergone significant sensor changes, with the main camera and telephoto camera reportedly using new 'bastet' and 'barghest' sensors. The triple-camera array in these models is said to include a 50MP main sensor, a 48MP ultra-wide-angle lens with macro focus, and a 48MP periscope telephoto lens supporting 5x optical zoom and up to 120x Pro zoom, while the front camera will be 42MP with a 103-degree field of view.

The Pixel 11 series is advertised on the Google Store as 'available for pre-order starting August 12th.' The countdown displayed on the same page ends at 11 PM on August 12th. It's possible that more details will be announced on the Google Store earlier than Made by Google '26.
