Google Pixel 11 Takes Shape In Early Leak With Subtle Design Changes And New Hardware

Early details surrounding the next generation of Google’s flagship smartphone have begun to surface, offering a tentative look at what the Pixel 11 Pro XL might bring when it arrives later this year.

Images shared online by tipster @OneLeaks suggest that Google is not preparing a dramatic redesign. Instead, the device appears to carry forward much of the visual identity established in recent Pixel models. The familiar flat-sided frame remains, along with the signature rear camera bar, though the latter seems to have been refined. It appears slightly larger but slimmer in profile, finished in black and visually aligned with the design language expected across the broader Pixel 11 lineup.

Dimensions reported alongside the renders place the device at 162.7 by 76.5 by 8.5 millimetres, indicating little change in overall size. The display is also expected to stay consistent, with a 6.8-inch OLED panel once again anchoring the front. Taken together, the early information points to continuity in form rather than experimentation.

More notable changes may sit beneath the surface. The Pixel 11 Pro XL is said to introduce Google’s next-generation Tensor G6 processor. According to the leak, the chip could adopt a 7-core architecture and be manufactured using a 2-nanometre process from TSMC. While performance details remain unclear, the shift in fabrication suggests a continued effort by Google to refine its in-house silicon.

Connectivity could also see a departure from previous models. The device is tipped to use a MediaTek M90 modem, moving away from the Samsung modems used in earlier Pixel devices. There is also mention of a new Titan M3 security coprocessor, reportedly codenamed “Google Epic,” following the Titan M2 seen in past generations.

In terms of memory and storage, the phone is expected to offer 16GB of RAM, with a starting storage configuration of 256GB. On the software side, it may run Android 17 out of the box.

Camera capabilities, often a focal point for Pixel devices, are also referenced in the leak. Features such as an ultra-low-light video mode, 4K cinematic blur at 30 frames per second, and a video relight function that allows lighting adjustments after capture are mentioned. The device is also said to support up to 100x zoom, aided by updated telephoto hardware and machine learning enhancements.
