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 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.

I lived with a liquid-cooled gaming phone, and it rarely let me down in everyday life
The Red Magic 11S Pro is wildly overqualified, but it's still just a phone
Red Magic 11S Pro Full Rear Design

The Red Magic 11S Pro has liquid cooling, a 24,000rpm fan, RGB lighting, and shoulder triggers that make sure you know it's built exclusively for a high-end gaming experience. Every part of it appears designed for that purpose.

I even managed to run Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut on it through GameHub. The setup needed plenty of tweaking, sure, and stability depended on the performance mode--yet, the experience of playing a AAA game run on a phone showed exactly how far Red Magic has pushed the hardware. After the game closed, though, I still needed a normal smartphone.

We're only a month away from Google's next big hardware event, with the Pixel 11 series officially arriving on August 12. 

After living with the Pixel 10 Pro and the Pixel 10a over the past year, I've come to appreciate what Google's phones do well — and, more importantly, where they still fall short. With the smartphone landscape evolving faster than ever, there are three upgrades I'm hoping Google finally delivers this year. If you're a fellow Pixel user, chances are these are on your wishlist too.
