Google May Open Pixel 11 Pre-Orders 8 Hours Before August 12 Launch

Summary
Countdown clocks on the Google Store and Best Buy point to Pixel 11 pre-orders opening at 10 a.m. ET on August 12, well before Google's 6 p.m. ET Made by Google event.
That timing would break the usual smartphone pattern of taking orders after an unveiling and give buyers hours to place orders before the showcase begins.
Google already hinted at the early window on its store homepage and teased the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, with the same 7 a.m. PT pre-order time appearing across retailers.
Last year, Google also opened Pixel 10 orders before launch, but only by about an hour, making this year's gap notably wider if the clocks hold.
