Google officially teases Pixel 11 Pro, giving us our clearest look yet

Google has officially teased the Pixel 11 Pro, one of the models launching as part of its latest flagship lineup. This new teaser gives us the best look so far at the Pixel 11 Pro’s design. Google has officially revealed the Pixel 11 series will debut on August 11th, with pre-orders set to begin on August 12th. The lineup is expected to include four phones: Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

Google Pixel 11 Pro teaser

Google shared a new teaser video on its socials, showcasing the design of the Pixel 11 Pro. It’s not a complete image, but more of a silhouette of the handset, but still our clearest official look at the design yet. The Pixel 11 Pro continues with the curved edges like the previous Pixel 10 series and the large camera bar at the back, housing three sensors. One difference, though, is that there’s no separate space for the LED flash and the temperature sensor. The LED flash now sits flush with the camera sensors, giving a more uniform look.

Google has also added a new Pixel Glow lighting feature to the Pixel 11 lineup. It’s a small circular light in multiple colours, expected to work as a notification indicator for calls, messages, and other compatible apps.

Google Pixel 11 Pro: what to expect

Based on what we know so far, the Pixel 11 Pro is assumed to sit in the middle of the lineup, between the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro XL. Reports suggest it will house a 4,850mAh battery, which is interestingly a tiny bit smaller than the Pixel 10 Pro’s 4,870mAh capacity. The Pixel 11 Pro, along with the rest of the lineup, is also expected to use TSMC’s 2nm Tensor G6 chipset, expected to deliver better efficiency and thermal performance. The handset is expected to compete with the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro lineup.

Google is also rumoured to move from 16GB to 12GB RAM for the Pixel 11 Pro models. While this might affect performance, Google is said to focus on deeper Android 17 optimisations for maintaining performance. Google is known to focus more on software, giving Pixels the advantage of Android features and updates. But it could increase the base storage from 128GB to 256GB.

With less than two weeks to go for the Pixel 11 series launch, we should know more about the phones very soon. If you own a Pixel 9 or older, the potential improvements in chipset and camera might justify an upgrade. However, Pixel 10 Pro users might find the changes more iterative, especially given the slightly smaller battery capacity. It’s still advised to wait for reviews and comparisons before making any buying decision.
