Google just launched its new Pixel 11 line, with new phones, foldables and, of course, a new Pixel Watch.
The tech giant released three new Pixels, including the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL. The 11 Pro and XL are available in four colors: Canyon, Fog, Olive and an all-matte Obsidian.
The Pixel 11, on the other hand, is available in Pistachio and Hibiscus, along with two elegant neutrals: Frost and Obsidian.
The brand also launched the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 5 and Google Tag — Google’s answer to the Apple AirTag and Tile Mate. As a full-time Apple user myself, I was surprised to see both the new design and general sleekness of the new Google phones. And for anyone who’s been waiting for a reason to break up with Apple, Google is making its strongest case yet. Google has also made it easier than ever to transfer data over from an iPhone, making it easier to make the switch.
Check out the full launch below, plus exclusive deals to shop now — hint: You can get a bundle with the Pixel Watch and Pixel 11 Pro for $250 off.
Best Camera: Google Pixel 11 Pro
GoogleAvailable in storage sizes starting at 256GB and the four aforementioned colors, this smartphone features Google’s best camera to date, with 120x Pro Zoom and a redesigned telephoto camera. AI features like Magic Capture help you catch moments while you live them, and video can even be shot in 8K.
Gemini makes using your phone hands-free easier, with customized color flows for incoming calls and a battery life that goes past the 24-hour mark. The new Tensor G6 makes your phone snappier and faster, while helping deliver even clearer photos and better low-light shots. Google continues to put privacy first with a built-in VPN and call-screen features. In short, it’s thinner, brighter and sleeker than before — and far more powerful.
While you can buy the phone for around $1,099, your best bet is to shop the phone-and-watch bundle, which delivers about $250 in savings.
Most Stylish: Google Pixel 11
GoogleIf you want a new smartphone that’s a little more affordable but still packs advanced Gemini features and lengthy battery life, the Pixel 11 is for you. The colors are my favorite part, with the bright Hibiscus really standing out.
The sleek camera bar and thin design make this phone feel more like an accessory than a device, and you’re still getting the new Tensor chip, which means better battery life and performance. There’s an IP68 rating, so small splashes won’t harm your phone, and the display is both brighter and more scratch-resistant than before. You’ll also get access to 30x Super Zoom, features like Magic Capture, which automatically edits, crops and unblurs your shots, and better low-light sensitivity.
Shop the Google Pixel 11 in four colors and snag a $100 Amazon gift card with this limited-time bundle deal.
Productivity Powerhouse: Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold
GoogleMy biggest gripe with foldable phones is how bulky they are. Well, not the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. It’s 1mm thinner and almost 20% lighter than the previous generation. The glass is more scratch-resistant, and the composite back is sleeker and soft to the touch. You’ve still got IP68 water resistance and a bright, even display.
One big feature? The upgraded camera system, which has a 48MP main lens and a telephoto lens with 30x zoom. Since this is a foldable phone, you can use dual-screen preview so your subjects can see themselves on the screen while you set up the shot. You can also use the rear camera for a selfie — because we all know the back camera is always better than the front camera. This is game-changing for content creators and journalists like me, who are always looking for higher-quality first-person videos.
All the other features, including an extended battery life and Google’s new chip, make multitasking on this foldable easier than ever.

Best Health Features: Google Pixel Watch 5
GoogleThe Pixel Watch 5 is your all-in-one health companion.
It can track blood pressure and detect patterns that point to strain on your heart. Your watch can also track insulin resistance over time. Other features include blood oxygen levels and breathing rate. It can even check to see if you’ve stopped breathing and call emergency services if needed. This feature is first launching in Europe and will be available on a rollout basis around the world in the coming months.
You still have a readiness score, and the watch tracks 40 exercises with ease. You’ll even get better sleep analysis, including sleep breathing quality, with minute-by-minute analysis of variations in blood oxygen levels.
This design is sleeker and more intuitive. And with Google Gemini and Qualcomm Snapdragon’s W5 Gen 2 chip built in, you’ve got faster processing and tons of AI features, including asking your watch to do anything from finding nearby lunch locations to managing timers and alarms with just your voice.
While the Pixel 11 series and Watch launch in just a few days, the Pixel Tag — Google’s first-ever tracker — launches later in the year and is not currently available for preorder. Once the device launches, we’ll be sure to let you know our take on it.
For now, preorder the Pixel 11 series and Pixel Watch 5 in your chosen color and receive them on Aug. 20, when the devices launch.
