Pixel 11: All of the last-minute leaks [Video]
As is customary, we already know a ton about Google’s latest smartphone series before it officially launches. The last-minute leaks are seriously piling up for the Pixel 11 — here’s everything you need to know.
Google's upcoming Pixel 11 series is generating a lot of buzz, thanks to numerous leaks and previous years' trends. The lineup for 2026 will include the base Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold, along with the Pixel Watch 5 in 41mm and 45mm sizes. A new Pixel Buds Pro 2 comes in a new colorway, but the real standout is the Pixel Tag - Google's first-ever Android tracker.
Despite being a retread of the Pixel 9, the Pixel 11 retains almost identical footprints with minimal changes. It will be a slimmer version, potentially making some cases incompatible. The camera bar has undergone tweaks and refinements, returning to the Pixel 6 design without the metal side portion. This version lacks a temperature sensor on the Pro models.
LED flash on the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro Fold will double as RGB lights, adding more functions. The Pixel 11 will be available in unique finishes like greenish-black Midnight Haze, lavender-esque Light Sterling, vibrant Fuchsia, and mossy green. These base models will have matte frames with glossy glass backs, while the Pro series will sport reserved colors with some exceptions.
The Pixel 11 Pro Fold will be available in Midnight Haze and Pine, skipping the previous Porcelain and Fog options. Google will also use TSMC's new 2nm process for the Tensor G6, promising a significant performance uplift. The chip features a revised 1+4+2 configuration with a powerful C1 Ultra core clocked at 4.11GHz and four C1-Pro cores at 3.38GHz. MediaTek's M90 modem replaces the long-standing Samsung Exynos in the Pro models.
One major change is the elimination of the 128GB base storage tier, with 256GB now the minimum across the lineup. However, memory capacity is volatile due to a global RAM memory crisis, with some Pro models potentially dropping back to 12GB. Both the Pixel 11 and Pro series will feature peak brightness of 3,000 nits, while the Pro XL and Fold reach 3,600 nits. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold has a 6.4-inch outer screen, smaller than its 8-inch inner display.
Battery capacities have been adjusted across the board, with the base Pixel 11 getting a 4,985mAh cell and the Pro XL featuring a 5,115mAh battery. The Pro model is rumored to have a slightly smaller 4,850mAh battery. Charging speeds have improved, with 30W wired charging for the base models and 45W for the Pro XL. All models will support Qi2 wireless charging.
