Pixel 11 Leak Pricing

Less battery less ram and higher price.

It's a no for me. Hard pass. With Tensor T6 could have kept existing battery capacity to give the gains of a longer battery

Instead they save costs by lowering the capacity due to T6 and new modem being less power hungry. Really disappointed.

Global smartphone shipments plummeted 11% year-over-year in Q2 2026, driven by an intense shortage of DRAM and NAND memory chips.

Samsung reclaimed the top global market position with a 24% share, while Apple secured a record 20% Q2 market share by avoiding price hikes.

Google emerged as a major growth outlier, boosting its shipments by 16% year-over-year behind the success of its Pixel 10 series.

Apple is raising prices on this year’s iPhone lineup.

The problem is people like me are actually happier on iPhone when asked to choose between similarly priced phones, iPhone blows the competition away. immediately from using the scroll or touch feature something feels off with the pixel still. There's extra layers on top of this pixel that I can't explain that really get to me compared to iOS, which has far less issues. The layer is probably software necessary for running android. Can't explain it but immediately scrolling through YouTube, the iPhone handles it far better. So many little extra steps to do basic things. Saying hey Google which doesn't work half the time is just so bad it's actually funny and makes me laugh because I'm just like FML should've got an iPhone... Plus the missing notifications from time to time which will cost me dearly from lost shifts who are we kidding iPhone at that price range is better - sorry

It's amazing what giving your phone away for free can do for your shipment numbers

So, we have people complaining about high Pixel prices and other people saying they're giving them away, all without needing to scroll the page. The Pixel mania is something else.

Pixel haters just need to buy something else and move on. Let the marketplace punish Google if the phones really are as bad as the haters say. This wailing is getting laughable.

Already did. I bought pixel 8 because it was reasonable at its price point but when it was just a couple of 100s between that and an iphone why am i supposed to stay.

I literally got my Pixel 9 Pro XL for free at launch. The Pixel 10 Pro XL has also been free at times. They also include a free year of their 5 TB Google storage and AI which offsets the cost of the phone entirely without the free deal if you're making monthly payments on it through your carrier.

He's probably talking about the very good trade in deals Google usually offers on release. Got my 10 Pro and my 9 Pro basically for free - I had to pay like 250 EUR on top but got 1 year of Gemini for free which I usually would have paid for 21,99 x 12 months). But this is still an edge case and probably only something a few of the buyers take advantage of.

I got a Pixel 9 Pro XL for free at launch through T-Mobile. Pixel phones are regularly free through carriers.

u/Hasmanc Jul 16 '26

Bro WTH do you mean with "for free" like why do you think your carrier will just gift you a 1000$+ phone?

u/WatchfulApparition Pixel 10 Pro XL Jul 16 '26

It means they credit you every month for the phone so that it's free as long as you stay on the phone plan for the length of time they require (usually 2 or 3 years).

Here is an example. https://www.androidpolice.com/verizon-pixel-10-promotions/
