Google is expected to unveil its next-generation Pixel smartphones on 12 August, and fresh leaks have revealed what could be one of the biggest changes to the upcoming lineup. According to a new report, the Google Pixel 11 series may launch without a 128GB storage option, with all models reportedly starting at 256GB instead.
The latest leak, first reported by French deals website Dealabs, also suggests that the Pixel 11 series could see higher prices in Europe, with some models reportedly becoming around €100 more expensive than their predecessors. Google has not officially confirmed any of these details, so they should be treated as speculation until the company makes an announcement.

Google is widely expected to launch the Pixel 11 series during its next hardware event on 12 August.
The upcoming lineup is rumoured to include:
- Google Pixel 11
- Google Pixel 11 Pro
- Google Pixel 11 Pro XL
- Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold
While Google has yet to reveal official specifications, several leaks have surfaced ahead of the launch.

According to the Dealabs report, the Pixel 11 range could start at €999 in Europe, with the foldable model potentially reaching €1,999.
The rumoured European prices are:

No pricing for the United States or other regions has been leaked so far.
Pixel 11 may drop the 128GB storage option
One of the biggest changes suggested by the leak is the reported removal of the 128GB base storage variant across the entire Pixel 11 lineup.
If accurate, the storage options would be:
- Pixel 11: 256GB and 512GB
- Pixel 11 Pro: 256GB, 512GB and 1TB
- Pixel 11 Pro XL: 256GB, 512GB and 1TB
- Pixel 11 Pro Fold: 256GB, 512GB and 1TB
This would mark the first time Google's flagship Pixel phones launch without a 128GB entry-level model.
Google Pixel 11 design and features (expected)
According to recent rumours, the Pixel 11 series is expected to retain a design similar to the current generation, with only minor cosmetic refinements.
One notable addition mentioned in leaks is a new "Pixel Glow" physical notification indicator, although Google has not confirmed its existence.
Since the external design may remain largely unchanged, software is expected to be the main focus. The Pixel 11 series is widely anticipated to introduce new Gemini AI-powered features, alongside enhancements to Android and Google's on-device artificial intelligence capabilities.
Why prices may increase
Industry analysts believe rising global component costs and manufacturing expenses could contribute to higher smartphone prices this year.
If the reported leak proves accurate, Google may offset the removal of the 128GB model by making 256GB the new base storage option, although buyers could still end up paying more overall.
Until Google officially unveils the Pixel 11 series, the leaked pricing, storage configurations and features should be regarded as unconfirmed.
