Google on Wednesday (August 12, 2026) launched the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL in India. The new Pixel 11 series smartphones ship with Android 17 out of the box and offer 7 years of OS and 7 years of security patches.
Google has used their self-developed 2nm silicon, Tensor G6, in the Pixel 11 series. The lineup gets up to 16 GB RAM and 512 GB of storage in India. The phones additionally get the Titan M3 security co-processor.
Pixel 11 Pro and XL will also have an array of LED light called HiLight, built around the camera flash, to notify about calls and Gemini interaction.
Pixel 11 series phones are IP68 rated for dust and water protection. Also, they are being covered with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for durability. The Pro models do get an anti-scratch coating on top of it.
