Google has confirmed that it will release a new generation of Pixel 11 series flagship phones on August 13, Taiwan time, and the Pixel Watch 5 smart watch will also be unveiled simultaneously. However, if you want to buy new Google products this year, you may have to prepare some budget. Not only is the Pixel 11 series reporting a price increase, the latest news also points out that the Pixel Watch 5 will simultaneously increase its price.
According to previous reports from foreign media, the Pixel 11 series will cancel the 128GB entry version this year and change it to 256GB, raising the entry threshold. Among them, the price increase of Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL is the most obvious. If we look at the selling prices first released in Europe, the average increase is 100 euros (approximately NT$3,700).
Pixel Watch price reportedly increased by $50
There is also news of price increase for Pixel Watch 5. Foreign media pointed out that the new watch is still available in two sizes, 41mm and 45mm, and distinguishes Bluetooth and 4G versions, and will not launch a 5G version. However, the price of each version of the entire series is expected to increase by approximately US$50 (approximately NT$1,600), and the starting price will reach US$399, officially matching the entry price of Apple Watch Series 11.
It is worth noting that this is also the first time since the launch of the first generation of Pixel Watch that the price of the entire series has been increased simultaneously. In the past, entry-level models started at US$349, but now they are about to break through the US$400 mark, an increase of about 15%.
However, according to the current leaked information, the Pixel Watch 5 has no obvious appearance or hardware upgrades. It is generally believed that this year’s update will focus mainly on internal specifications and software functions. Therefore, whether this wave of price increases can make consumers pay for it will inevitably become a major focus of observation after the new phone is launched.
In addition, what has attracted attention is that Pixel Watch 5 is rumored to have a new color called “Pyrite”, which may be close to matte gold, or with a bit of khaki tone. However, the final actual color matching is still waiting to be officially announced by Google at the press conference.
