Deleted Amazon listings suggest the Google Pixel 11 Pro XL will start at $899 in the US. The base model also appears to move to 256GB, which puts it $100 above the iPhone 17.
Pixel 11 and iPhone 17 pricing
The reported jump is not just a higher sticker price. It also replaces 128GB with 256GB at the entry point, so the comparison is not a straight apples-to-apples repeat of the older baseline.
That still leaves Google with less room to lean on price. The Pixel line has long used lower pricing to make up ground, and the Pixel 11 would no longer have that advantage at launch.
Gemini Intelligence and RAM
Google is expected to lean harder on Gemini Intelligence if the Pixel 11 loses its price edge. Gemini Intelligence is the company’s agentic AI suite, and it is built to handle multi-step tasks with minimal oversight.
Those tasks include booking reservations, managing calendars, and pulling items from notes into a shopping cart. Google says users will get the final say before anything is purchased, which matters because prompt injection attacks remain a real threat that has not been fully resolved yet.
That is where the RAM question hangs over the base model. If the Pixel 11 is marketed around Gemini Intelligence but lacks enough RAM to run it comfortably, the value pitch gets thinner fast.
Pixel 10 discounts and costs
The Pixel 10 has been discounted almost every month since launch, and the Pixel 10 Pro is already down to $699 after a $300 cut. Memory and component costs are rising across the industry, and Samsung and Apple are raising prices this year too.
The open question is the final Pixel 11 pricing and RAM setup. Buyers looking at the leak have one clear number to work with now, but they still do not know whether Google will use Gemini Intelligence to justify the higher entry cost.
