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.

The phone you can actually repair yourself is finally coming to the US
A phone built to be fixed, not replaced, has officially landed stateside.

Most US smartphone buyers gravitate towards popular smartphone brands, including Apple, Samsung, and Google. And while there’s no denying that these companies make exceptional smartphones, they all fall short in the department of repairability. 

Break the display, and you are looking at repair costs of upwards of $300. Want to change the battery? It’s going to cost you at least $100, and even if you are ready to pay, you cannot repair it yourself.

Over the last couple of weeks, leaks have already told us plenty about the Galaxy S26 FE. Much of the hardware sounds frustratingly familiar, while the design is unsurprisingly getting minimal changes. Now, a couple of hands-on videos have finally shown something I’m considerably more interested in.

Two apparent Galaxy S26 FE units have appeared in real-world videos, including footage shared by TikTok account @_samz02 and another clip reposted on X by Bradley, or @VerdeSelvans. Both show a purple or violet phone carrying Samsung’s newer S26-style camera island, and more importantly, Horizontal Lock appears inside the camera app.
