Google Pixel 11 Series: Everything We Know So Far

The upcoming Google Pixel 11 series, expected to launch in August 2025, has been the subject of multiple leaks revealing design details, dimensions, and anticipated specifications for several models, including the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

Pixel 11

The base Pixel 11 is expected to feature slimmer bezels than its predecessor, with a completely black rear camera bar.

Renders obtained and shared by Android Headlines and leaker @OnLeaks suggest the base Pixel 11 model is expected to feature slimmer bezels than its predecessor. The rear camera bar is depicted as completely black, a change from the Pixel 10's design.

  • Rumored dimensions: 152.8 x 72 x 8.5mm — nearly identical to the preceding model.

The device is reportedly expected to integrate a Tensor G6 processor and feature a 6.3-inch OLED display. A MediaTek M90 modem is also anticipated. A report from Android Authority suggested the Pixel 11 could include an enhanced, on-device video brightening function for low-light conditions.

Pixel 11 Pro

The camera bar is now entirely made of glass, returning to a design element first seen on the Pixel 6.

Leaked CAD renders indicate the Pixel 11 Pro will retain a largely similar design for the third consecutive year. Key design changes include a camera bar now entirely made of glass, a return to a design element first seen on the Pixel 6.

  • The device's temperature sensor appears to be absent in the renders, though its presence could be obscured by the all-glass camera bar.
  • Device thickness has decreased to 8.4mm, down from the 8.5mm of the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro.
  • Full dimensions: 152.7 x 71.8 x 8.4mm — making it slightly shorter and narrower than the Pixel 10 Pro.

Pixel 11 Pro XL

A new monochromatic camera bar design moves away from the previous two-tone oval aesthetic.

CAD renders for the Pixel 11 Pro XL, released following similar imagery for the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro, indicate a new monochromatic camera bar design, moving away from the previous two-tone oval aesthetic.

  • The renders also suggest the removal of the infrared thermometer, a feature present in some preceding Pixel devices. The accuracy of this specific detail in CAD renders was noted as potentially variable by the source.
  • Reported dimensions: 162.7 x 76.5 x 8.5mm — suggesting the device will be slightly smaller than its predecessor.
  • The phone is expected to maintain the same 6.8-inch AMOLED screen.

Additional design insight: Renders of a ThinBorne phone case for the Pro XL surfaced online, suggesting a potentially reduced camera bar protrusion and a slightly larger, more rounded rectangular camera bar shape, diverging from the Pixel 10's elongated oval design.

Pixel 11 Pro Fold

The foldable is marginally thinner than its predecessors, with folded thickness dropping to 10.1mm.

First CAD-based renders of the Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold were released by leaker @OnLeaks through Android Headlines. The renders indicate a slightly updated design with minimal changes from the previous Pixel 10 Pro Fold model.

Design and Dimensions

Key design elements include an off-center camera island with a new appearance and protruding camera lenses, along with minor modifications to the device's frame. The renders suggest a polished metal finish, differing from the matte finish of the preceding two generations.

Thickness comparisons:

  • Folded: 10.1mm (down from 10.8mm on Pixel 10 Pro Fold and 10.5mm on Pixel 9 Pro Fold)
  • Unfolded: 4.8mm (down from 5.2mm on Pixel 10 Pro Fold and 5.1mm on Pixel 9 Pro Fold)
  • Height (155.2mm) and width (150.4mm when unfolded) appear unchanged.

Camera System

Reports suggest Google may integrate the Pixel 10 Pro's camera system into the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, alongside an updated housing design.

Wallpapers

Software engineer Dylan Roussel discovered wallpaper thumbnails for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold in an early Android 17 build. The images are labeled "Pine: Tidal Swirl" and "Midnight: Lunar Tides." Roussel cautioned that these names are not necessarily indicative of official branding.

Internal Components

Leaks concerning the Pixel 11 series suggest potential changes in internal components:

  • A possible transition to a MediaTek modem, moving away from the Samsung modem used in the Pixel 10.
  • Speculation around the inclusion of new face unlock hardware, which could contribute to the device's thickness.

Launch Timeline

The Pixel 11 series is anticipated to launch around August of the current year, aligning with Google's recent release traditions.
