Everything announced at Made by Google 2026: Pixel 11, Pixel Watch 5, Pixel Tag, & more
While the actual Made by Google 2026 event isn’t happening for another eight hours, Google has fully detailed the Pixel 11, Pixel Watch 5, and Pixel Tag.
Here’s a summary of everything announced at Made by Google 2026. Each section has a link to our full hands-on with the new hardware and software features, with more posts coming over the coming hours.
The Pixel 11 features an all-glass Camera Bar that is 40% thinner than last generation and protrudes noticeably less. Google advertises how the plateau “practically” disappears when you use an official case.
There’s a larger 48MP wide sensor that offers 56% more light sensitivity and slightly wider FOV. Tensor G6 unlocks 30x SuperRes Zoom with the 5x telephoto.
The chip is paired with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, which is the new baseline. This year’s base phone supports 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging (up from 15W) that is up to 25% faster, but the quoted 30+ hours of battery life is unchanged.
The Pixel 11 is available in Frost, Obsidian, Hibiscus, and Pistachio from $899.

The edge-to-edge Camera Bar on the Pro series houses what Google calls “HiLight.” Replacing the temperature sensor after three generations is a ring of ambient LEDs built around the flash. It’s meant to help you stay connected when the Pixel 11 Pro is face down. For example, it provides visual feedback that Gemini heard you with different patterns for listening, thinking, and responding, just like the Google Home Speaker. You can also have custom colors pulse when favorite contacts call (Phone by Google and WhatsApp), with future updates adding more capabilities like message notifications. You enable HiLight and set one of five colors from a person’s Google Contacts page.
The Pixel 11 Pro and 11 Pro XL introduce a new 50MP wide sensor and 48MP telephoto with a larger image sensor and 30% more light sensitivity. This allows Portrait Mode at 5x, and 120x Pro Zoom thanks to Tensor G6 and Google’s latest imaging models. The chip and redesigned software also make possible Instant Night Sight that is up to 4.5x faster.
The Super Actua display gets a bump to 3,600 nits of peak brightness, and is 2x more scratch-resistant thanks to a new coating.
