Google's Pixel 11 Priced at $899 with 256GB Minimum Storage

Google has raised the starting price of its flagship Pixel phone to $899 in the US. The new minimum storage capacity for all Pixel 11 models is 256GB, a significant upgrade from the previous base storage of 128GB.

The increased price is due to rising memory costs, which have affected the entire smartphone industry. Google's Vice President of Devices and Services Shakil Barkat cited this factor when discussing the lineup amid broader pressure on smartphone component prices.

The Pixel 11 Pro starts at $1,099, while the Pixel 11 Pro XL begins at $1,299. The Tensor G6 processor powers all four phones in the series, along with upgraded cameras and new features like Magic Capture.
