It’s only been a couple of days since word got out that the Made by Google event, the official debut of the Pixel 11 series, will be held on August 12th. Since then (and even before), we’ve seen a steady stream of leaks around the phones and the latest one gives us a look at a new colour option of Google’s upcoming foldable. We get to see the Pixel 11 Pro Fold in a new “Pine” colour option, with a few design refinements.
The leak comes from a Telegram channel called Mystic Leaks and it quite matches the renders that were out back in March.
Visual refinements and build
The biggest visual change is the introduction of the new Pine finish, a muted green shade paired with a light gold satin-finished frame and a matching gold Google logo. The colour is expected to be shared with the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL, giving Google’s premium lineup a more consistent identity.
The rear camera module has also received a refresh. While it retains the dual pill-shaped layout introduced on the Pixel Fold series, the surrounding camera island is now slightly narrower with the camera cutouts extending closer to the edges, reducing the amount of visible metal around them.
The camera arrangement has also changed. The primary and ultrawide cameras now occupy the lower pill, while the telephoto camera moves to the upper-right position alongside a noticeably larger LED flash. The flash appears significantly bigger than on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, prompting speculation that it could incorporate Google’s rumoured Pixel Glow notification system, although there is no confirmation of this yet.
If true, these tweaks suggest Google is polishing the hardware without changing the overall identity of the Fold. That’s a sensible approach given the Pixel Fold’s already distinctive design, but it also means competitors like Samsung, Honor and Vivo may continue to hold an edge in areas such as thinness.
Key dimensions and form factor
Google seems to be building on an established design instead of introducing a completely new form factor. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold retains the familiar book-style folding design with flat edges, rounded corners and a slim profile that closely resembles last year’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The foldable is expected to measure 155.2 x 150.4 x 5.3 mm when unfolded, making it marginally thinner than its predecessor. While OEMs like Vivo, Honor and OPPO race to push ultra-thin foldables, Google appears focused on familiarity rather than chasing hardware records.
Those upgrading from older foldables could benefit from Google’s expected AI improvements, Tensor G6 chipset and refined camera hardware, while Pixel 10 Pro Fold owners may want to wait and see whether the software and camera upgrades justify the move.
