Google’s upcoming Pixel lineup might cost more than last year’s. A report from Dealabs spotted by 9to5Google suggests that Google could raise the starting price of its 41mm Pixel Watch 5 to $399, while adding LTE could bump the price to $499.
That’s a $50 jump from the base Pixel Watch 4, which starts at $349 for Wi-Fi and $449 for LTE. Meanwhile, the larger 45mm Pixel Watch 5 is rumored to cost $429 with Wi-Fi only, or $529 with LTE, marking a $30 increase from the previous generation.
A separate report from Dealabs details the potential European pricing for the Pixel 11. The report suggests that Google could drop the lowest 128GB storage configuration option for the Pixel 11, raising the device’s starting price to €999 with 256GB of storage, while the Pixel 11 Pro could start at €1,199. Last year’s base Pixel 10 model cost €899 with 128GB of storage, while the Pixel 10 Pro started at €1,099. Although the starting price of both devices may increase, the price of the 256GB configuration is rumored to remain the same.
The Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold may get a €100 increase across the board, putting their starting prices at €1,399 and €1,999, respectively, according to Dealabs. These potential price increases shouldn’t come as a surprise, as device makers across industries are contending with a global memory and storage shortage due to increased demand from AI companies.
