Google confirms Pixel 11 will see a price increase due to global RAM shortages
In an interview with 9to5 Google, Shakil Barkat, Google’s Vice President of Devices and Services, confirmed that the upcoming Pixel 11 phone is expected to carry higher pricing than its predecessor. This comes amid ongoing global memory (RAM) supply issues driven by increased demand from AI data centers. Barkat noted that while Google had previously shielded consumers from such fluctuations, shifting economic conditions have made it impossible to avoid price adjustments moving forward. The base model Pixel 11 is rumored to start at $899 with a jump in storage capacity but reduced RAM on the Pro variant.
