Google Pixel 11 could be built in Vietnam — and a big modem switch is now rumored
Google’s next Pixel flagship lineup — including the unannounced Google Pixel 11 models — may be built from the ground up in a different country. Reuters says Google plans to start developing and manufacturing its high-end Pixel, Pixel Pro, and Pixel Fold phones in Vietnam in 2026, while lower-end Pixel A development remains in China, citing Nikkei Asia sources. That’s not just an assembly-line shuffle. New Product Introduction — NPI, the phase where the factory process is designed, tested, and tweaked before launch — is where bugs get hunted down and where costs, yields, and durability decisions are basically locked in.
