Multiple outlets report on leaked information about Google’s next Pixel phone generation, with speculation that the ongoing global RAM shortage could affect memory configurations. Leaks cited by The Verge and Slashdot—attributed to a source referred to as MysticLeaks—suggest the Pixel 11 lineup could start with 8GB of RAM, rather than the 12GB starting point seen in the Pixel 10 lineup.

The reported changes are framed as part of a broader supply constraint affecting the industry. Slashdot also reports that 16GB configurations may still be available for each model, but that introducing lower-spec models could shift pricing, potentially increasing the cost of the 16GB tier. For higher-end “Pro” variants, the leaks reportedly indicate availability of 12GB versions below the current 16GB tier, implying more gradated memory options.

Both sources note that memory reductions may not be the only spec change: the leaks also describe camera improvements and brighter displays for Pro models. The reports remain based on unverified leaks and do not confirm final device specifications or pricing.
