Google’s Pixel 11 lineup is still a few months away from its debut. Even at the earliest, Google will unveil its 2026 Pixel family in August. Yet, over the last few days, CAD renders have revealed the design of the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro. Joining that list today is the Pixel 11 Pro, which will borrow many of the same design changes as its smaller Pro sibling.
Based on the CAD renders, the Pixel 11 Pro XL will look largely the same as Google’s current XL sibling, albeit in a supposedly thinner package. Like the Pixel 11 Pro, the XL variant will also feature a blacked-out camera bar.
That’s unlike the current Pixel 10 models, where a camera bar blends in with a lighter tone of the device color around the flash and sensors. Google also appears ready to drop the temperature sensor from its 2026 Pixel lineup entirely, as it’s missing from the Pixel 11 Pro XL in the CAD renders.
The Android Headlines report claims the Pixel 11 Pro XL will measure 162.7 x 76.5 x 8.5mm in dimensions. That may not be entirely accurate, but if it is, the device will be a wee bit thinner and shorter than its predecessor.
Little changes, but expect a higher price tag
There’s no word on other specs, but the Pixel 11 Pro XL should continue with a 6.8-inch super-bright AMOLED panel up front, 16GB RAM, and a Tensor G6 chip inside.
Leaks suggest Google’s next Tensor chip will switch to a 7-core CPU layout and feature an upgraded Titan M3 security chip for even better security. More importantly, the Tensor G6 will mark Google’s complete shift away from Samsung for its SoC, as it will seemingly switch to a newer MediaTek M90 modem.
From a design viewpoint at least, it appears Google’s upcoming Pixel lineup will not introduce any radical changes. Internally, too, they may pack fairly modest upgrades. Yet, the DRAM and NAND crisis could push Google to bump prices by $100 to offset the higher component costs.
