This might be the Pixel 11 series and its new colors [Gallery]

Google’s Pixel 11 series is almost exactly a month from its official launch and, ahead of that, an early trio of Amazon listings appears to show off the base model in three colorways.

Thanks to the diligence of our colleagues at 9to5Toys, we’ve been able to view three listings that appear to be placeholders and/or drafts that were published early, with official images in tow. At least, that’s what we’re pretty sure is happening here. These listings are sold and shipped by Amazon and show as part of the “Google Store” on the platform.

But, given Amazon is a platform full of third-party sellers, it’s worth taking this with a big grain of salt.

That said, the details here mostly line up.

The base Pixel 11 is shown in three colors, with the listing titles using “Obsidian,” “Hibiscus,” and “Pistachio” names, which don’t line up with previous leaks. But, digging into the description, the listings are “Midnight,” “Fuchsia,” and “Moss,” which do line up with past leaks. Even the “4CS4” in the title has been associated with Pixel 11 before.

Shortly after we initially published this article, we also spotted a listing for Pixel 11 Pro in “Dune,” “Light Fog,” “Pine,” as well as in “Sterling.”

Pixel 11 Pro Fold is also seen in “Pine” – matching up with a leak over the weekend – and “Midnight.”

Looking closer at the listings, we can see some core specs such as a 6.3-inch display at 1080×2424 on the base Pixel 11, 256GB of storage for $899, and 12GB of RAM, seemingly disproving a previous leak that strangely claimed Google might drop that base model to 8GB. There are Pro listings with 12GB of RAM, though, so it’s still up in the air. Many of these listings mention a “Google Pixel Tag” as a compatible accessory – no such tracker exists right now, but there have been rumors for years. The battery for the base Pixel 11 is mentioned at 4,985 mAh, slightly higher than last year, with Pro XL at 5,115 mAh and Fold at 4,750 mAh.

The biggest red flag in the description here is the mention of Android 16, as these phones will absolutely be shipping with Android 17. Another bit that feels out of place is a SIM ejector tool, but that could just be left over from past listings.

Other than that, we noticed the individual images are a bit low-res with some areas that are a little pixelated, but that doesn’t seem particularly out of line for an image being used in an early placeholder listing like this.

Again, we’d advise taking this with a grain of salt. There’s plenty pointing to this being legitimate, but there are enough oddities that we can’t say that for certain. It’s very likely that these listings will vanish soon enough.

Pixel 11 drops in August.
