Six Pixel 11 models listed on FCC ahead of Google's August launch

Google Pixel 11 leaks reveal FCC listings for six devices, MediaTek modem switch, satellite messaging support, and an August launch.

One thing that's pretty consistent in the tech world year after year is the fact that Google's hardware secrets are about as safe as a screen door on a submarine. Every summer, someone forgets a phone in a coffee shop or a retail database leaks the price before the keynote even starts. Now, it appears that almost every Google Pixel 11 model has finished its regulatory rounds on the FCC website.

According to what's on the FCC's website, the regulatory documents list model numbers GPQQ7, GUJ0N, G7SWN, GBC0H, and G4HCD, plus GZDQ6 for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Google might finally dump Samsung's modems for the MediaTek M90 modem. This switch matters because the previous Exynos-based components often overheated or dropped signals. The new modem uses advanced MediaTek algorithms that should maintain a stable connection even in areas where older phones struggled.

Other stuff we can gather from the filings includes the presence of NTN NB IoT support on specific bands like B23 and B255, which confirms that the upcoming phones support satellite-based emergency messaging. Only three of the five listed phones feature Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and Thread support. While all models support 5G mmWave and NFC, the GPQQ7 and GUJ0N models specifically lack the high-frequency UWB components found in the Pro variants.

We're at least a month away from the official unveiling of Pixel 11 (Google set the "Made by Google" 2026 event for August 12), and we're already drowning in leaks regarding the internal components. The Tensor G6 chip codenamed Malibu supposedly utilizes TSMC's 2nm process to provide better battery life. Leaked Amazon listings suggest that the base storage now starts at 256GB.

Aside from the internals, we also saw a redesigned camera bar that might include an RGB notification strip called Pixel Glow. Some reports suggest it could provide visual cues for Google Assistant, but that hasn't been confirmed. Others think it might simply be a flashlight or another camera bar feature. Remember, this is just a leak, so take it with a grain of salt. The Pro models likely use Samsung's latest M16 OLED material to provide higher peak brightness for outdoor use.

The baseline Pixel 11 is expected to start at $899 (up from the $799 debut price of the older sibling). Buyers interested in the Pixel 11 Pro should prepare to spend $1,099. The massive Pixel 11 Pro XL likely commands a $1,299 price tag, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold remains the most expensive option at $1,899.
