Leaked Renders Show Pixel 11 Pro Fold Sticking With Familiar Design

Google's next foldable phone isn't reinventing itself, at least according to a fresh batch of leaked renders. Leaker Evan Blass posted what appear to be marketing images of the unannounced Pixel 11 Pro Fold on his Substack, and the design looks a lot like what Google shipped last year.

That's notable mostly because of what everyone else is doing. Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 8 has moved to a shorter, wider outer screen, and rumors suggest Apple's long-awaited foldable iPhone will take a similar approach. Google, based on these renders, is staying put with a taller outer display. The inner screen also appears unchanged at 8 inches.

The one visible update is around back. The camera array has been reworked slightly, and it looks like the Pixel 11 Pro Fold will pick up the glowing light bar that Google has already previewed for the standard Pixel 11 Pro. The renders also show the phone in an olive green finish.

Blass didn't stop at the phone. His post also includes images of what look like new Pixel Buds, shown in a matching olive tone, and a new Pixel Watch. Google hasn't confirmed any of it, and the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Verge.

What to expect at the event

All signs point to these devices being formally unveiled at Google's next Made by Google hardware event, scheduled for August 12th at 6PM ET. That's typically where the company rolls out its full lineup of new Pixel phones, wearables, and audio gear for the year, so a foldable phone, watch, and earbuds landing together would fit the usual pattern.

There's one wrinkle worth flagging before anyone gets too excited about specs: pricing. Google has already signaled that its upcoming hardware could cost more than previous generations, a shift the company has tied to what's being called RAMaggedon, industry shorthand for a squeeze on memory chip supply that's pushing component costs up across the board. That pressure isn't unique to Google, but it does mean a redesigned camera bump and a nicer paint job might come with a less pleasant price tag.

For now, everything here rests on leaked renders rather than an official announcement, so details like the internal specs, pricing, and exact features remain unconfirmed. But if the images hold up, Pixel fans should expect evolution rather than reinvention this time around, with the bigger surprise potentially being how much all of it costs.
