As August 2026 approaches, several smartphone manufacturers are gearing up to unveil their latest devices. With some companies already announcing their launch dates, eager consumers can mark their calendars for these exciting releases.
Google Pixel 11 Series Launch
One of the most anticipated releases is the Google Pixel 11, set to debut on August 12, 2026, during the "Made by Google" event. This new addition will succeed the Pixel 10, which was introduced in August 2025.
The Pixel 11 series is expected to feature four models: Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. All models will likely be powered by the new Tensor G6 chipset, built on a 2-nanometer process. Notably, Google is expected to eliminate the 128 GB storage option, making 256 GB the standard entry-level variant.
Enhancements in camera capabilities and AI features are anticipated, including a new function called "Pixel Glow." This feature will introduce a colorful LED light in the rear camera module to notify users, resembling the Glyph Interface found on Nothing phones.
Pricing for the Pixel 11 is projected to start at $899 (approximately Rp 16.2 million), while the Pixel 11 Pro Fold might debut at around $1,899 (about Rp 34.3 million).

Rumors suggest that the Poco M8 Power 5G will come with a 7-inch screen featuring a 120 Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 chipset, and fast charging capabilities at 45 watts. Additionally, the device is expected to have an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance, with a price point under 20,000 Indian rupees, which is approximately Rp 3.7 million.
