Google Pixel 11 Pro XL boxes were seen in Turkey on the black market for $1,700. Here are all the details about the leak…
Boxes allegedly belonging to the Pixel 11 Pro XL model, which Google has not yet officially announced, have appeared in a surprising form. Erencan Yılmaz, known for his leaks, announced on his social media account that these devices are available for pre-order on black market channels in Turkey.
The shared images show seven sealed boxes with the inscription “Google Pixel 11 Pro XL”. Although the serial numbers and IMEI information of the devices are hidden, it is noteworthy that these products are listed with a price tag of $1,700.
Black market claims and technical details of the device
In the technology world, such early sales announcements often raise suspicions of stolen prototypes or region-locked test devices. Experts say that opting for such devices before an official announcement is risky and that the products may not work.
According to leaks, the Pixel 11 Pro XL retains its 6.8-inch LTPO display while achieving a brightness of 3,600 nits. At the heart of the device is TSMC’s Tensor G6 chip, manufactured using a 2nm process, aiming for higher efficiency.
Although the battery capacity has been increased to 5,115 mAh, the new chip architecture is expected to improve battery life. Additionally, it is stated that the phone will weigh 226 grams and will come with an interactive RGB LED notification system instead of a temperature sensor.
Warnings for users
While no major changes are expected in camera hardware, it’s rumored that the digital zoom feature could reach 120x. Google plans to officially introduce the Pixel 11 series in mid-August 2026.
It is emphasized that caution should be exercised against such early sales before authorized dealers and official pricing are announced. Devices purchased from unofficial channels may become unusable due to region locks or software issues. Waiting for Google’s official launch is considered the most reliable way in terms of both warranty and full functionality of the device.
What do you think about these kinds of leaks being sold at high prices on the black market before the official launch?
