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.

If you've ever owned an Exynos-powered Galaxy phone, you already know the drill: heavy tasks like capturing back-to-back pictures or photos for a while, heavy gaming, or rendering videos turn your device into a hand warmer. 

In such a situation, the battery bar drops faster than usual as well. Turns out, Samsung might be working on the fix, and it's coming in a way nobody expected.
