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.

You don’t really need us to tell you what is coming; the leaks and previous generations have told us what to expect. The lineup for 2026 will consist of the base Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
We’re also getting the Pixel Watch 5 in 41mm and 45mm sizes. There will be a new Pixel Buds Pro 2 in a new colorway, but the surprise package is the Pixel Tag. This is Google’s maiden attempt at a first-party Android tracker.
That is the only shock inclusion, as it managed to stay almost hidden until recent leaks showed it was indeed finally coming to fruition.
Third time’s a charm, as they say, because the Pixel 11 is yet another retread of the Pixel 9. These devices will have almost identical footprints and very minimal changes.
It looks like the phones will be a fraction thinner by a few millimeters. This could make some cases incompatible, but the camera bar is likely the cause of this change. We’ll test this out when we have devices in hand, as you could technically use cases last year with some caveats.
While none of the changes are “major,” there are some tweaks and refinements to the camera bar. It no longer has the metal portion on the right side. The entire visor area is glass once again. It’s a return to the Pixel 6 camera bar, and like that phone, there is no room for a temperature sensor on the Pro models. It’s getting fully ditched this year.
On the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro Fold, the LED flash is going to double as an RGB light. We’re not sure what it will do, but it’s going to have more functions.
Colors remain a point of discussion for the Pixel lineup, as Google continues to offer more playful finishes for the base model while keeping the Pro series somewhat more reserved, though this year features a few stunning exceptions.
