The Pixel 11 series isn’t due until August, but a steady stream of leaks has already revealed details ranging from design to specs across all four upcoming devices. The latest addition gives us a look at the wallpapers Google may ship with the lineup, and they offer a strong hint at the color options likely at launch.

A toned-down palette across the board

Mystic Leaks on Telegram (via 9to5Google) has shared the full wallpaper library for every model in the Pixel 11 lineup ahead of the phones’ expected August launch. According to the leak, the base Pixel 11 will get four abstract wallpapers in black, green, pink, and purple.

The Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL will share a separate set in beige, black, gray-green, and silver, while the Pixel 11 Pro Fold might get just two options, one in a black-and-white theme and another in green.

All wallpapers will come in dark and light variants to match their respective system themes. The lighter versions are slightly more vibrant, but still noticeably more muted than what Google offered with the Pixel 10 lineup.

What the wallpapers tell us about the Pixel 11 colorways

The wallpaper colors appear to line up with a previous leak that pointed to black, green, pink, and purple as the color options for the base Pixel 11. If the same logic holds for the Pro models, the beige wallpaper signals a new colorway, alongside black, green, and a silver option like the Pixel 10 Pro’s Moonstone variant. Similarly, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold may be offered in black and green colorways.

Google has not confirmed any of this officially. But the shift toward more muted tones could mark a departure from the more vibrant wallpaper choices Google has offered in recent years. Whether that reflects a deliberate design direction for the hardware colors or just a different creative approach remains to be seen when the phones launch later this summer.

Google Photos adds a quick toggle between AI and classic search
Classic search is finally easier to reach for people who enabled Ask Photos
Google's Ask Photos debut.

Google Photos is giving users an easier way to leave its Gemini-powered search when a simple keyword would do. A new toggle now sits at the top of the results page, letting users switch between Ask Photos and classic search without digging through settings.

The change appears to address feedback from people who opted into Ask Photos but wanted a quicker way to return to classic search when Gemini was slower or less useful for a straightforward query.

Snapseed Camera now lets Android users save original photos and add geotags
Google updates Snapseed Camera with geotag support and non-destructive photo editing
Snapseed App

Google appears to be quietly turning Snapseed into something more than just a photo editing app. Over the past few weeks, the company has been steadily adding new capabilities to Snapseed Camera, its standalone camera app for Android. The latest update introduces two practical features that many smartphone users have come to expect from modern camera apps: the ability to save an untouched copy of every image for future editing and support for embedding location data directly into photos.

Neither feature is flashy, but together they make Snapseed Camera a more capable photography tool, particularly for users who like experimenting with filters without permanently altering their original shots. According to a report by 9to5Google, the features are rolling out with Snapseed Camera version 4.1.1.x on Android.

For years, Samsung has worked to turn Galaxy into more than a smartphone brand.

Samsung has officially introduced the Samsung Galaxy Card, its first branded credit card in the U.S. Designed in partnership with Barclays US Consumer Bank and operating on the Visa network, the card rewards users for everyday spending while offering significantly higher cashback on purchases made directly through Samsung.
