With the Pixel 11 debuting Aug. 12, APAC buyers are comparing Samsung’s established regional pricing with a Google phone whose final price is still under wraps. Leaks put the base Pixel 11 at $899 with 256GB of storage, up $100 from the Pixel 10’s US launch price. Recent reporting from The Verge points to a $899 base model with 256GB instead of 128GB, while rising RAM costs have already put Pixel 11 pricing under scrutiny. Google has confirmed that Pixel 11 preorders begin Aug. 12, when its Made by Google event will take place in New York. Google’s Aug. 12 launch should supply the Pixel 11 prices and launch offers needed to determine whether its rumored US increase carries into the region.
