Google's new Pixel 11 series comes next week - here's what we know from leaks

The Pixel 11 lineup isn't bringing drastic changes, but the incoming additions will still have fans excited.

The upcoming Google Pixel 11 series, set to launch next week, has seen a fair share of leaks detailing its upgrades. The new lineup retains the familiar four models: Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Fold. The color options have been updated, specifically with the Pixel 11 being available in hibiscus, pistachio, obsidian, and frost, while the Pro and Fold variants offer more subdued shades like dune, pine, and light fog.

The color-changing LED light circle, previously referred to as Pixel Glow, has been rebranded as HiLight. The feature's purpose remains uncertain, but it could aid in managing notifications. The Pixel 11 series will be powered by the Tensor G6 processor and Titan M3 security coprocessor, promising improved performance, cooler operation, and better power consumption.

There have been claims of faster charging, but these remain unverified. Additionally, the Pixel 11 lineup will integrate a new MediaTek M90 modem with an AI-powered traffic engine, which could reduce power consumption by up to 18% and boost download speeds. Despite these enhancements, the Pixel 11 series comes with a high price tag, starting at just under $1,100 for the Pro model.
