On Monday, August 3, 2026 local time, Google launched a teaser for the next-generation foldable Google Pixel device, the “Pixel 11 Pro Fold,” on the official Google e-commerce site, the “Google Store,” while also starting a countdown toward the pre-order launch of the “Pixel 11” series.
The countdown on the “Google Store” is running toward 23:00 JST on Wednesday, August 12, 2026. It has also been revealed that pre-orders for the “Pixel 11” series in Japan will begin at 7:00 AM on Thursday, August 13, 2026.
This presumably means that new products such as the “Pixel 11” series and “Google Pixel Watch 5,” which will be showcased at the Google hardware event “Made by Google” at 23:00 JST on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, will be unveiled on the “Google Store.” Furthermore, the new products like the “Pixel 11” series and “Google Pixel Watch 5” are expected to be officially announced during the “Made by Google” event held at 18:00 PDT on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 (7:00 AM JST on Thursday, August 13, 2026). Pre-orders for the “Pixel 11” series will likely kick off simultaneously with the start of “Made by Google” at 7:00 AM JST on Thursday, August 13, 2026.
This was already revealed through the countdown toward the pre-order launch of the next-generation Google Pixel “Pixel 11” series, which started within the Google Pixel information hub app “My Pixel.” To reiterate, pre-orders for the “Pixel 11” series in Japan will begin at 7:00 AM on Thursday, August 13, 2026—they will not start during the day on Wednesday, August 12, 2026.
Although the release date for the “Pixel 11” series is currently unknown, it is expected to be around Thursday, August 20, 2026, roughly one week after pre-orders begin.
