Google Pixel 11 specs leak reveals storage, RAM, and US pricing
Deleted Amazon listings for the Google Pixel 11 series reveal that Google is dropping 128GB storage and making 256GB the new entry point, with the base Pixel 11 priced at $899 and 12GB RAM. The leaks outline display sizes, battery capacities, and a notable RAM change on Pro models ahead of Google's August 12 event.
The leaks matter because they arrive days after Google released its first official Pixel 11 teaser, giving shoppers an unusually detailed preview of US pricing and hardware before pre-orders open. Google has since removed the listings from its official Amazon storefront, but screenshots captured by readers and outlets including Android Authority preserve the details.
Key Takeaways
- 256GB is the new base storage across the Pixel 11 family; the longstanding 128GB tier appears gone.
- The base Pixel 11 lists at $899 with 12GB RAM; a 512GB variant is priced at $1,019.
- Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL 256GB models may ship with 12GB RAM, while 512GB and 1TB tiers keep 16GB.
- Google's July 15 teaser introduced Pixel Glow, a circular color-shifting light built into the camera bar.
- The full lineup debuts at Made by Google on August 12, with pre-orders opening the same day.
What do the leaked Pixel 11 specs reveal?
According to Droid Life, deleted Amazon listings included partial spec sheets for the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

What is Pixel Glow on the Google Pixel 11?
On July 15, Google released its first Pixel 11 teaser via the Google Store, confirming the Pixel 11 name and an August 12 launch. The clip shows what appears to be a gold Pixel 11 Pro and debuts Pixel Glow, a circular light occupying the flashlight space to the right of the camera bar.
As 9to5Google reported, the light can display a full range of colors. Droid Life notes earlier leaks described Pixel Glow as using subtle rear lighting to signal important activity when the phone is face down.
When does the Pixel 11 series launch?
Google's Made by Google event is set for August 12 at 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT. Pre-orders open immediately after the keynote, according to the Google Store landing page. US shoppers who sign up for marketing emails between July 15 and August 7 can receive a promotional code emailed August 11.
Until then, treat the Amazon figures as strong but unconfirmed leaks. Google has not officially validated storage tiers, RAM splits, or final US pricing.
