Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold Leaked
OnLeaks / Android Headlines

The first leak surrounding the Pixel 11 Pro Fold has surfaced, offering an early look at Google’s next foldable phone. According to CAD renders shared by Android Headlines in partnership with OnLeaks, the device will look very similar to the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, though with a slightly slimmer profile and a redesigned camera bump.

OK #FutureSquad… Here comes your very first and early look at the #Google #Pixel11ProFold (360° video + gorgeous 5K renders + dimensions)! 😏

Visually, the phone sticks to Google’s now-familiar book-style foldable design with an inner folding display and a cover screen on the outside. The materials also appear unchanged, with an aluminum frame paired with a glass back, while the physical button placement remains the same as before, with the power button sitting above the volume keys.

The most noticeable change appears to be the thinner chassis. The Pixel 11 Pro Fold is expected to measure 10.1mm when folded and 4.8mm when unfolded, making it slightly slimmer than its predecessor. The overall height and width, however, are expected to remain largely the same.

Another notable tweak is the redesigned camera island, which reportedly looks cleaner and more modern, with the LED flash and microphone placed within the upper pill-shaped cutout alongside the sensors. While the exact camera hardware hasn’t been confirmed yet, the report suggests Google could introduce upgrades, possibly borrowing components from the Pixel 10 Pro lineup.

Under the hood, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is expected to run on the new Google Tensor G6 chip, reportedly built by TSMC on a potential 3nm process, with rumors pointing to a 7-core CPU configuration. Beyond that, much of the feature set is expected to remain familiar, including IP68 water resistance, Qi wireless charging, and support for PixelSnap accessories, while the display sizes and battery capacity are likely to stay largely unchanged from the current generation.

A slimmer Pixel Fold, but not a radical overhaul

It seems Google is following in the footsteps of Samsung, which trimmed the waistline of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Across the ocean, Chinese labels are already engaged in an even more furious race to make the thinnest foldable phone out there, with the Honor Magic V6 and the Oppo Find N6 being the top contenders. It would be interesting to see whether Google has managed to slim down its next foldable, while also bolstering its ingress protection against dust and water exposure.

While the design leak is a big pre-launch expose, there are murmurs of a few other changes under the hood for the broader Pixel 11 portfolio. Google is reportedly eying a modem supplied by MediaTek, switching away from Samsung. Pixel phones have often struggled with connectivity woes, so let’s hope the MediaTek partnership brings some respite.

As for launch timing, the report suggests Google will likely unveil the Pixel 11 series in August, following the company’s recent launch schedule. Pricing remains unclear for now, though earlier roadmap leaks hinted the foldable could target around $1,500, though that figure may change due to market conditions and tariffs.

Every time a carrier says "no upfront cost," I brace myself for the asterisk buried in the fine print. T-Mobile's newest 36-month financing plan has one too, though it's dressed up quite nicely. 

T-Mobile, the second largest wireless carrier in the United States, just rolled out a financing option called EIP Flex 36. As the name suggests, it stretches device payments across three full years instead of the usual two. The real hook, however, is what it lets you skip at checkout.

Two fresh OnePlus 16 leaks just landed within days of each other. Together, they point to a flagship that could outlast its competition with its massive battery, and one that ships with genuinely better camera hardware than the OnePlus 15. 

So what's happening with the cameras?

If you've ever had to look for any sort of heat leaks or hot wires, chances are that you've probably used a dedicated handheld camera. But RISION has just launched a tiny new camera tool to make the job easier (and more pocketable). It reminds me of the InfiRay we checked out a while back.

RISION has introduced the Magic and Magic Pro, two compact thermal cameras that plug directly into supported USB-C phones, tablets, and Windows computers. Each module weighs 24 grams, draws power from the connected device, and requires no separate battery. Support covers compatible iPhones, Android devices, and Windows PCs.
