Google has officially announced its next Made by Google launch event for the Pixel 11, set to take place on August 12th in New York City. The invitation, sent directly to The Verge, reveals an unusual evening start time: the event will begin at 6 PM ET.
Accompanying the email is a short animation that teases what appears to be a gold-colored phone from the Pixel 11 lineup. Based on leaks so far, the standard Pixel 11 could feature slimmer bezels than the Pixel 10 and a solid black camera bar. Rumors about the Pixel 11 Pro suggest it may be slightly thinner than its predecessor, while the Pixel 11 Pro Fold might also shed some thickness and sport a redesigned camera bump.
For context, last year’s Pixel 10 launch event, which included a live studio audience and host Jimmy Fallon, occurred on August 20th. The base and Pro models hit shelves shortly after on August 28th. This year’s event shifts the timeline slightly earlier, with an evening format that breaks from tradition.
