Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google.Google will announce its latest smartphone lineup, the Pixel 11 series, at its "Made by Google" event on Aug. 12. Hot on the heels of Samsung's latest foldables, Google plans to follow up with its own, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, along with the Pixel 11 Pro, XL, and base model. Also: Is the new (pricier) Pixel 11 series still a good value compared to Samsung's Galaxy phones?Based on preliminary information, it looks like the 11 series will largely feature incremental upgrades to the processor, camera, and storage, while costing more as Google looks to be doing away with the low-end configuration with 128GB of storage.
