Pixel 11 expected: Release timing, Tensor G6 chip and key specs
Updated: September 16, 2025
Introduction — the most important facts first
Google’s Pixel 11 is still early, but recent reports point to a major chip upgrade — a Tensor G6 possibly built on a 2nm process — and a likely mid-2026 launch window. Leaks also mention improved camera AI and more models in the family. These changes would move Pixel closer to Samsung and Apple on speed and AI features.
Google Pixel 11 rumors release date — when to expect it
Most outlets say the Pixel 11 will arrive in mid to late 2026. Google usually brings new Pixels once a year, and early development work is already under way. That means we may see more leaks through 2025 and official news from Google in 2026. If timing is important for buyers, plan for a 2026 launch window.
Pixel 11 specs rumor — Tensor G6 and performance
The biggest rumor is the Tensor G6 system-on-chip. Multiple reports suggest Google may use a TSMC 2nm process or another advanced node to build it. A 2nm Tensor would give big power and efficiency gains, helping AI tasks and battery life. Analysts say this could be a major jump from the Pixel 10’s Tensor G5.
Pixel 11 camera and AI — what might improve
Pixel 11 camera upgrades and AI features
Leaks point to stronger AI camera features — faster image processing, better night shots, and new video tricks. Google is pushing Gemini and other AI tools into Pixel phones, so expect the Pixel 11 to use on-device AI for photos and assistant features. These upgrades would be useful for everyday users who take many photos.

Models and design — more choices possible
Some reports say Google may expand the lineup with multiple models, possibly including a foldable variant in the Pixel 11 family. That would mirror other makers that offer standard, Pro, Ultra and foldable options. If true, buyers will have more choices at different price points. But these model plans can change before launch.
Should you wait or buy now?
If you need a phone today, current Pixel models are solid and may drop in price after Pixel 11 news. If you want the very latest CPU and AI features, waiting until mid-2026 could be worth it. For many users, sales and deals on current models make a new buy sensible now.
What to watch next
Look for leaks about the Tensor G6, camera sensors, and a clear launch date. Trusted sites to follow include Android Authority, Tom’s Guide, PhoneArena and Android Central; they summarize early leaks and test reports. As always, treat early leaks as rumors until Google confirms them.
