One of Google’s new phones just leaked, but only a little bit.
Leaker Mystic Leaks (per 9to5google) shared a render on Telegram that allegedly shows the back of the new Pixel 11 Pro Fold. The render looks a lot like last year’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold, but there are some key differences, including a new Pine colorway. Rumor has it that color will also be available for the new Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL.
Google has already said that it will hold a big announcement event on Aug. 12, where all of the new Pixel phones will presumably be announced. That announcement showed a partial look at a phone in a gold/copper colorway.

One other noteworthy difference in the render is that the camera bar on the back appears to be substantially downsized from last year.
The camera flash module has also been repositioned to the upper left corner of the camera bar. Some are theorizing that it will be used for a new “Pixel Glow” system, which will use light and color to notify you of important happenings while your phone is lying face-down, and that this system will exist across multiple new Pixel devices.
Interestingly, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold doesn’t seem to be fully adopting the all-black camera bar that the regular Pixel 11 phones are expected to have, based on renders shared by Android Headlines earlier this year. Mystic Leaks shared a list of alleged specs for all of the phones on Telegram back in May, and little of it is especially surprising. Expect a new Tensor G6 chip to power the devices, alongside the usual camera and battery upgrades we get every year.
We should get confirmation on all of these rumors on Aug. 12.
