Google Unveils Pixel 11 Flagships, Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 5, and Pixel Tag at Made by Google Event

At the Made by Google event, the company unveiled a major update to its ecosystem of devices. The lineup now includes four Pixel 11 smartphones powered by the Tensor G6 chip, the Pixel Watch 5 with a life-saving feature, the Pixel Tag tracker, and an update for the Pixel Buds Pro 2 earbuds.

Smartphone lineup: Pixel 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro XL

The base Pixel 11 drops the 128GB configuration and now starts at 256GB of storage. It features a 6.3-inch Actua display with a peak brightness of 3000 nits, a 4985mAh battery, 7 years of OS updates, and 25W magnetic wireless charging via Qi2.2 Pixelsnap.

The flagship Pixel 11 Pro (6.3 inches) and Pixel 11 Pro XL (6.8 inches) come with LTPO OLED displays that reach up to 3600 nits of brightness and a new LED notification system called HiLight on the camera module, which changes color based on notifications and Gemini AI reactions. The main 50MP sensor captures 32% more light, while the 48MP telephoto lens offers 5x optical zoom and 120x hybrid Pro Zoom with AI processing.

Foldable flagship Pixel 11 Pro Fold

The foldable model is 1mm thinner and 10% lighter than its predecessor, with an IP68-rated body and a reinforced hinge mechanism. The outer display measures 6.5 inches, while the inner one is 8 inches (both with 3600 nits brightness and ultra-thin bezels). Inside, it packs the Tensor G6 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and a 4806mAh battery.

Pixel Watch 5, Pixel Tag, and earbuds

The Pixel Watch 5 runs on the new Google Health platform and introduces a Breathing Emergency Detection feature: if the watch detects breathing cessation during sleep or a seizure, it automatically calls emergency services with your location. The watch also features dual-frequency GPS and is optimized for on-device Gemini assistant.

The Pixel Tag tracker is designed to work with the Find Hub network. It supports Bluetooth Channel Sounding and UWB for centimeter-level accuracy when locating items indoors, is water-resistant to IP67, and runs for over a year on a CR2032 battery.
