Google is dialing things up to 11 this year with its Pixel phones. Ahead of its annual Made by Google event in New York City, the company unwrapped the Pixel 11 smartphone family—which includes the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold—alongside the Pixel Watch 5 smartwatch. There's also a new hardware addition: the Pixel Tag, which seems designed to be the AirTag of the Android world.
The Pixel 11 starts with 256 GB of storage and comes in an eye-popping Hibiscus color.
