Google is hosting its next Made by Google launch event for Pixel hardware on August 12th in New York City, according to an invitation sent by Google to The Verge. 
Unusually, the event is taking place in the evening: It’ll kick off at 6PM ET that day. 
The email also includes a brief animation teasing what appears to be a phone in the Pixel 11 family that’s gold. 
Pixel 11 leaks that have popped up so far show that the base phone could have slimmer bezels than the Pixel 10 and a solid black camera bar. 
Leaks of Pixel 11 Pro indicate the phone could be a touch thinner than the Pixel 10 Pro. 
And the Pixel 11 Pro Fold could also be thinner than the previous model and might get a redesigned camera bump. 
Last year’s Pixel 10 launch event  which featured Jimmy Fallon and a live studio audience  took place on August 20th, with the base and Pro model phones releasing shortly after on August 28th.
