This is the Pixel 11 Pro Fold — and this is when pre-orders officially start
Right around the corner
Last week, leaked images of the forthcoming Pixel 11 Pro Fold popped up, and now Google is officially teasing its phone.
The 15-second teaser video briefly shows hints of the foldable alongside this voice-over: "To switch phones, you have to be open to what's new. And to what opens."
The video is similar to the teaser for the Pixel 11 Pro released last week. The most important information in the video is at the end with the date August 12, 2026, which is when we expect Google to announce the full Pixel 11 lineup.
The Google Store homepage is currently listing pre-orders for the PIxel 11 as starting August 12. I also spotted a pre-order page on Best Buy. Both pages feature a countdown that runs until August 12 at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET/2 p.m. UK.
Release date
This does suggest that you'll be able to pre-order the device before the announcement, which isn't supposed to kick off until 6 p.m. ET that day.
Google devices usually hit store shelves a week or two after the announcement. This means the Pixel 11 series should launch on August 19 or August 26.
As for price, given the ongoing memory crisis, we expect a price increase. Google has managed to keep the Pixel Pro Fold at $1,799 for the last two years, but another $100 or $200 on top of that seems likely.
