Pixel 11 Pro Renders Leak
Yesterday we got a look at the standard model, and now the CAD renders for the Google Pixel 11 Pro have surfaced to fill in the rest of the picture. Just like the vanilla version, the Pro model seems to be sticking with a very familiar silhouette while making a few specific tweaks to the hardware and aesthetic.
The most obvious change is the camera bar. Google is moving toward a fully blacked out visor. On the previous model, we saw the body color wrap around certain elements like the flash, but these renders show a solid black strip framed by the metal of the device. It creates a much higher contrast look that makes the sensor cutouts blend in more than they used to.
In terms of the footprint, things are staying remarkably consistent. The leaked dimensions are 152.7 x 71.8 x 8.4mm, which is almost identical to the Pixel 10 Pro, though it might be a fraction of a millimeter thinner. It’s still sporting that 6.3 inch LTPO AMOLED display, so if you were hoping for a major size shift, this isn't the year for it.
The real story continues to be what’s happening on the inside. We are looking at the Tensor G6, which is expected to be a 7 core chipset. More importantly, the rumors of a switch to the MediaTek M90 modem are still the highlight here. If Google can finally nail down the modem efficiency and thermal management, that will be a bigger "Pro" upgrade than any slight change to the camera glass.
Memory and storage specs are still a bit of a question mark. While 16GB of RAM has been the standard for the Pro, there is some chatter about a potential drop to 12GB if component prices continue to climb. Hopefully Google decides to offset that by finally ditching the 128GB base storage and starting the Pro line at 256GB, matching what we've seen from other flagships recently.
Expect an August release window for the whole lineup, which puts Google right in that sweet spot between the summer foldable launches and the new iPhone cycle in September.
