Google unveiled six products on August 12 - the Pixel 11 series, Pixel Watch 5, Pixel Tag, and new Gemini AI features spanning sign language support and natural voice input.
Six products. One morning. Made by Google 2026 opened August 12 with the Pixel 11 series, the Pixel Watch 5, a Pixel Tag tracker, and new Gemini AI features - each product shipping today from Google's online store.
Pixel 11 Starts at $899 - Storage Jumps to 256GB and the Camera Bar Goes 40% Thinner
$100 more than last year. Pixel 11 starts at $899, up from $799, and drops 128GB storage entirely - the base configuration now ships with 256GB. Google flagged the price hike weeks before the event, citing a RAM supply shortage and the storage tier decision. Google's new Tensor G6 chip sits inside, delivering up to 50% more computing power than the previous generation alongside a Titan M3 security chip and seven years of OS updates. The camera bar is more than 40% thinner than the Pixel 10's and runs an all-glass surface the full width of the phone. Camera hardware is a 48MP wide, 13MP ultrawide, and 10.8MP telephoto with 30x Super Zoom; 10.5MP front camera with autofocus. Pixel 11 comes in Frost, Hibiscus, Pistachio, and Obsidian.
Pixel 11 Pro Jumps to $1,099 With 120x Zoom, 8K Video, and 2x More Scratch Resistance
Two models, one jump in price. Pixel 11 Pro starts at $1,099, a $100 increase over the Pixel 10 Pro, with the 6.3-inch display; the Pixel 11 Pro XL steps up to a 6.8-inch Super Actua display at a higher starting price. Both get a new anti-scratch coating with more than twice the scratch resistance of the previous generation, plus improved drop resistance. The camera system steps up to a 50MP main, 48MP ultrawide, and 48MP telephoto delivering 120x Pro Zoom, with a 42MP front camera that shoots 8K video alongside Pro Stable Video and Video Boost. HiLight is a new Pro-exclusive feature - a glowing indicator on the frame when an important call arrives. Storage goes up to 1TB with Zoned UFS. Colors are Canyon, Fog, Olive, and Obsidian; this year's Obsidian ships with an all-matte finish.
Pixel 11 Pro Fold Is 10% Lighter and Three Times More Durable Than Its Predecessor
Thinner, lighter, and three times more durable. The Made by Google 2026 foldable sits nearly 10% lighter and almost 1mm thinner than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, with slimmer bezels and a 48MP main camera with 30x Super Zoom. Google rebuilt the hinge for better inner display protection and replaced the back panel with a glass-fiber composite cover designed to resist cracking. Both displays - a 6.5-inch outer Super Actua and an 8-inch inner Super Actua Flex - peak at 3600 nits. Storage reaches 1TB with Zoned UFS, RAM sits at 16GB on the Tensor G6 chip, and Video Boost carries over from the Pro line. Pixel 11 Pro Fold ships in Olive and Obsidian.
Pixel Tag Launches at $29 - Same Price as AirTag, Connected to Android's Find Hub
Four years after Apple's AirTag, Google launched its own. Pixel Tag surfaced earlier this year and now ships at $29 each or $99 for a four-pack - matching Apple's exact price points rather than undercutting them. Pixel Tag connects to Android's Find Hub network for location tracking in the Find Hub app, and Pixel Watch can ring or locate a tag independently. Pixel Buds users can ask Gemini to find a tag by voice. Matching AirTag's price suggests Google is betting on Find Hub's depth across Android devices - not a discount - to take market share.
Pixel Watch 5 Starts at $399 With Monthly Blood Pressure and Insulin Resistance Summaries
Two sizes, three versions. Pixel Watch 5 starts at $399 for the 41mm and $429 for the 45mm; a Stephen Curry Special Edition built for workouts adds an exclusive design at $579. New health tools in the Google Health app deliver monthly summaries of blood pressure trends and insulin resistance trends - a longer view than per-session logs. Pixel Buds Pro gains a new Olive color alongside the main launch, with no other announced changes.
Gemini Adds American Sign Language Support and a New Voice Mode for Natural Speech
Live Transcribe now reads American Sign Language. Google expanded the accessibility feature to use the Pixel Camera to translate ASL into on-screen text, developed with Google DeepMind, giving a communication option that does not require typing. A new voice mode called Rambler handles natural speech input - run-on sentences, filler words, and less structured phrasing convert to clean text rather than requiring careful pronunciation. Circle to Search moves into the Pixel Camera UI directly, letting users identify objects, translate text, or ask questions without leaving the viewfinder. Made by Google 2026 continues Google's pattern of shipping Gemini across its own hardware before expanding to third-party devices - every phone announced today carries the Tensor G6 chip, which Google built around Gemini inference from the ground up.
