Bad news for Pixel fans: Google all but confirms higher prices for the Pixel 11 lineup

Google has effectively signaled that Pixel 11 prices will rise because a global RAM shortage has sharply increased hardware costs.

Leaks suggest the entire Pixel 11 lineup could be about $100 more expensive than the Pixel 10 series.

Google is also trying to offset the pressure by making Android more RAM-efficient, even as some models may ship with lower memory configs.

That could make the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro XL notably pricier at launch and change their value proposition.
