Google’s next foldable has just leaked in a refreshing new color option. The company’s next foldable was spotted in a new Pine finish, which adds a touch of elegance to the overall look, Mysteal Leaks shared what appears to be an official render showing the back of the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

This image reveals a muted green rear panel paired with a light gold frame, matching a Pine color name that previously appeared in leaked wallpaper and storage information. Although Google has yet to confirm the device or its available finishes.

Pine suits Google’s foldable surprisingly well

The green is relatively restrained, adding a touch of elegance to the otherwise basic colorways offered on the last-gen Pixel 10 Pro Fold. To recall, last year’s Pixel foldable debuted in Jade and Moonstone. The light gold frame and Google logo provide enough contrast to keep the device from looking overly subdued. Pine is also expected to appear on the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL.

Google appears to have cleaned up the camera island as well. The module is narrower, and the camera cutouts now extend almost to its edges. The flash and microphone have moved inside the pill-shaped section, removing the additional strip of metal found on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

One particularly large circular element in the top-left corner appears to be the flash. Its unusual size has already sparked speculation that Google’s rumored Pixel Glow notification light could be incorporated there. The render alone cannot confirm that connection, so the giant flash may simply be a giant flash.

A familiar foldable has reportedly lost some weight

Earlier CAD renders suggested the Pixel 11 Pro Fold will retain almost the same height, width, and general silhouette as its predecessor. Google may at least have trimmed its thickness from 10.8mm to 10.1mm when folded and from 5.2mm to 4.8mm when open.

Recent pricing leaks point to 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB configurations. Pine may only be offered with the first two capacities, while the 1TB model could remain exclusive to the darker Midnight Haze color. European pricing reportedly starts at 1,999 Euros, representing a possible 100-euro increase over the previous generation.

Google has confirmed its next Made by Google hardware event for August 12 in New York City. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is expected to join the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro XL there. The hardware changes may be conservative, but Pine gives Google’s familiar foldable design considerably more personality. At nearly 2,000 euros, it will need plenty more hiding beneath that handsome green exterior.

Forget folding twice. Samsung’s next big-screen phone may simply slide open
Samsung’s next wild Galaxy could stretch into a tablet before TriFold 2 lands
Samsung Galaxy TriFold folding, TriFold Phone

Samsung’s first Galaxy Z TriFold turned a regular-looking phone into a 10-inch tablet using two hinges. Now, its next big-screen experiment may achieve a similar transformation by simply stretching sideways. A new leak claims Samsung's rumored Galaxy Z TriFold 2 has slipped past its original release schedule because of unspecified cost-related problems.

But the same source has revealed that a long-rumored slidable Galaxy phone might make an introduction ahead of the delayed trifold sequel.

You can now tell Waze to stop interrupting your playlist, and I can’t believe it took this long
Less talking over your music. Smarter routes based on your habits. AI that finds your destination through conversation.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Waze just dropped five updates at once, and if you have ever had the app blurt out a voice prompt right when your favorite lyrics drop-kicked in, one of them is going to make your day (and make you wonder why it took so long).

Less Chatty mode, in my opinion, is the one people will talk about most, and the irony is not lost on me. When enabled, it cuts down the frequency and length of voice prompts so you can focus on whatever is playing.

A hands-on video and new renders reveal a premium build, three colors, and hardware that pushes the Edge line closer to flagship territory
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

The Motorola Edge 70 Max has surfaced in a hands-on video just two days before its July 15 launch in India. Paired with a fresh set of official-looking renders, the leak leaves little about the phone’s exterior to the imagination.

The footage shows a glass back, an aluminum frame, and a sizeable square camera island. Underneath that polished design sits a 7,100mAh battery with 90W wired charging and 25W magnetic wireless charging.
