We already know the company’s Made By Google event is officially happening on August 12. But according to a report circling the Internet from Dealabs, the company’s upcoming flagship phones and smartwatch could get a price increase.
One report details European storage and price options for the Pixel 11 phones. For starters, the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro could get a storage increase with the base model starting at 256GB as opposed to the meager 128GB from last year’s Pixel 10 series. This would be a welcome change, as Apple made 256GB base storage across its non-budget iPhones last fall. While the other two models, the Pixel 11 Pro XL and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, could potentially get a €100 increase from their predecessors. The conversation rate places it at roughly an $114.30 increase, which would probably be rounded down to a cleaner number.
Another Dealabs report suggests new pricing for both sizes of the Pixel Watch 5. Where we could see a $50 price hike that would put the 41mm Pixel Watch 5 (Wi-Fi) at $399 from the previous model’s $349, and $449 for LTE, as the 45mm Pixel Watch 5 (Wi-Fi) gets a $30 increase that goes up to $429 from $399, and $529 for LTE.
Since many companies are increasing their prices due to RAM and storage shortages thanks to the rapid growth of AI. Google is one of the last big companies to hold out on a price hike but apparently could be folding in the near future.
