Beyond the core specifications, the devices are expected to bring improvements to camera processing, battery optimisation, and on-device AI features, though these upgrades will only be confirmed during the launch event.

Gemini AI Takes Centre Stage

All Pixel 11 models are expected to run Android 17, which launched in May, with Gemini offering deeper integration this time around. The AI assistant is expected to have sharper context understanding across a user's Google account and interact with different parts of the phone.

Other Hardware On The Cards

A new Pixel Watch 5 is confirmed to debut at the same event, continuing Google's pattern of launching its smartwatch alongside flagship phones. The smartwatch is tipped to come in 41mm and 45mm sizes, both measuring around 12.3mm thick, with an Actua 360 LTPO AMOLED display offering up to 3,000 nits peak brightness, a 60Hz refresh rate, and 320ppi pixel density.

Reports also suggest Google could use the event to introduce a new pair of wireless earbuds, though details on specifications remain limited ahead of the official announcement. Another closely watched possibility is the long-rumoured Pixel Tag, a Bluetooth tracker meant to rival Apple's AirTag and Samsung's SmartTag, which Google has not yet confirmed, making it the biggest wildcard of the keynote.

Pricing Expectations For India

The Pixel 11 series is also expected to see a price hike of up to USD 100, or roughly INR 10,000, in India compared to the outgoing lineup. Official pricing and India availability details are expected to be confirmed only after the global unveiling.
