In terms of appearance, from the leaked renderings, the new device has adjusted the camera module on the back. Although the overall shape retains the iconic elliptical outline of the previous generation, Google has removed the original color-mixed parts. Instead, a single piece of dark glass is used to completely cover the entire lens area.

In terms of dimensions, the source disclosed that the Pixel 11 Pro measures 152.7 x 71.8 x 8.4 millimeters, which is basically the same as the Pixel 10 Pro (152.8 x 72 x 8.6 mm), being 0.1 millimeters shorter, 0.2 millimeters narrower, and 0.2 millimeters thinner.

The front of the device retains the 6.3-inch OLED display. In terms of core performance, the Pixel 11 Pro will be equipped with Google’s newly developed Tensor G6 system-level chip, estimated to adopt a 7-core configuration. Additionally, it is reported that Google has abandoned its original baseband solution and instead integrated the M90 modem provided by MediaTek.

Igeekphone has noted that compared to the previous generation model launched in 2025, the screen bezel of Pixel 11 has been significantly narrowed, and the design of the rear camera module has also been slightly adjusted. The circular camera module now adopts a fully glass encased design, and the metal decorative part on the right side of the module has been removed.

Nevertheless, the overall design of the entire machine still adheres to the classic style of the Pixel series, with only minor modifications.

It is reported that the dimensions of the Pixel 11 are 152.8 × 72 × 8.5 millimeters. The length and width are exactly the same as those of the Pixel 10, while the thickness is only 0.1 millimeters thinner. During daily use, users will hardly be able to perceive this subtle difference.

This device will be equipped with Google’s self-developed Tensor G6 system-level chip. This chip is expected to be equipped with a seven-core CPU. Previously, there were also reports stating that Google will switch to MediaTek’s baseband for this model. Additionally, it is reported that the screen specifications of Pixel 11 will be exactly the same as those of the previous model.

The Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold is quite similar to its predecessor, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Google did not make a major overhaul to its appearance design; the overall shape and the curvature of the edges remain the same; the main materials of the body are still aluminum and glass.

When unfolded, there is still a hole-shaped camera at the top right corner of the main screen, with uniform and slightly raised borders around it – this is necessary for the protection mechanism of the foldable screen and is also a common design for current book-style foldable screens. When folded, the appearance on the front side is almost identical to that of the previous generation.

The layout at the top and bottom of the body is standard: the bottom features a USB Type-C port, microphone, speaker opening, and SIM card slot; the top only has a few microphone openings.
Compared to the front, the changes on the back of the new device are more obvious. The rear camera Deco of Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold has been redesigned, making the overall appearance more simple and modern. At the same time, the LED flash and microphone are now integrated into the pill-shaped notch at the top, sharing the same area as one of the rear cameras as opposed to being arranged independently as in the previous generation. The transition between the camera module and the backplate also adopts an arc shape, resulting in a more smooth visual effect.

The back panel remains flat and the central position of the Google logo remains unchanged. The positions of the physical buttons are also the same as in the previous model: the power / lock screen button is located above the volume buttons.

Thanks to the structural optimization, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold has a thinner thickness compared to its predecessor. Based on CAD data, its thickness in the folded state is 10.1 millimeters (including the camera protrusion which is 14.9 millimeters), which is approximately 0.7 millimeters less than that of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold (10.8 millimeters); in the unfolded state, its thickness is 4.8 millimeters (including the camera protrusion which is 9.6 millimeters), which is 0.4 millimeters less than that of the previous generation (5.2 millimeters).

Although it still lags behind some competitors’ current folding thickness of less than 9 millimeters, it undoubtedly is moving in the direction of being thinner. The height of the body (155.2 millimeters) and the width when unfolded (150.4 millimeters) remain the same as those of the previous generation.
Apart from minor cosmetic adjustments, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold will upgrade from the previous generation’s Tensor G5 processor to the Tensor G6 processor. The specific specifications are unknown, but the latest rumors suggest it might adopt a 7-core design (further confirmation is needed).

The imaging part is another notable upgrade point. The camera configuration of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold has long been regarded as inferior to that of the flagship devices of the same generation, especially in terms of the ultra-wide-angle lens. In response to the significant advancements in folding screen camera hardware by competitors, Google is expected to achieve a comprehensive upgrade on the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, but the specific plan is still uncertain at present.

In other respects, significant changes are not expected. The sizes of the main screen and the cover screen are predicted to remain the same. Features such as IP68 dust and water resistance, Pixel wireless fast charging, and Qi2 wireless charging are expected to continue. There may not be a significant increase in battery capacity either.

Based on Google’s release schedule over the past two years, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is likely to make its official debut in August. The Pixel 9 series was released in August 2024, and the Pixel 10 series was released in August 2025. This timing seems to have become a new tradition for Google.

As for the pricing, the situation is more complicated. Previously, based on information from Google’s internal planning, it was suggested that the price of the Pixel 11 Pro Fold might be $1500 (Note: at the current exchange rate, it is approximately 10,371 yuan). However, due to multiple factors such as tariffs and the soaring prices of memory, the final price remains unknown. But it is certain that it is unlikely to be cheaper than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which starts at $1799.

I. Comparison of the Infrastructure between Tensor G5 and Dimensity 9500:
CPU

Dimensity 9500 Tensor G5
The core count is 8 cores

8 cores

One super-large core ARM C1-Ultra with a maximum frequency of 4.21GHz, and one 2MB L2 cache ARM Cortex-X4 with a maximum frequency of 3.78GHz
Three large cores of ARM C1-Premium with a maximum frequency of 3.5GHz, 1MB L2 cache, and five ARM Cortex-A725 with a maximum frequency of 3.05GHz
Four ARM C1-Pro cores (efficiency cores) with a maximum frequency of 2.7GHz, 512kb L2 cache, and two ARM Cortex-A520 cores with a maximum frequency of 2.25GHz
Note: Google has not disclosed the L2 cache of each core

GPU

Dimensity 9500 Tensor G5
Core specifications: ARM Mali-G1 Ultra MC12 Imagination IMG DXT-48-1536
Note: Supports ray tracing and can achieve a 120-frame gaming experience. Does not support ray tracing
Ii. Expected Architecture of Tensor G6:
This chip is expected to make its debut in the second half of 2026 and will be manufactured using TSMC’s 2nm process.

CPU architecture
One ARM Cortex-X930 super-large core

Six ARM Cortex-A730 large cores

One ARM Cortex-A5xx series medium core (efficiency core)

GPU
The 3-core Imagination IMG CXT is even older than the IMG DXT of the Tensor G5

Baseband:

It is expected to abandon the Samsung solution and switch to Mediatek M90, with a maximum downlink rate of up to 12Gbps.

Three. Tensor G6 Borrows two key points from Dimensity 9500:
China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) is no longer important:
Previously, there were analyses suggesting that Mediatek enhanced the overall performance of its Dimensity chips by reducing the number of energy-efficient cores. Now, it seems that Google has also adopted this approach.

From the above text, we can see that Google has adjusted the 1+5+2 core layout of Tensor G5 to 1+6+1 of Tensor G6, replacing the efficiency core with an additional large core. With the support of the 2nm process, this change is expected to significantly enhance the overall performance.

Since we are using the ARM public core, let’s use the latest one
One of the key reasons for the significant performance gap between the Tensor G5 and the Dimensity 9500 is that Mediatek uses the latest ARM core, while Google employs a reference core that has been outdated for over two years (Cortex-X4 was released in May 2023).

In contrast, the Cortex-X930 equipped on the Tensor G6 has not yet been officially commercialized. This indicates that Google has finally made up its mind to equip the Tensor with the latest reference core, which is expected to address the long-standing performance shortcomings of the Tensor.

But then again, the GPU of the Tensor G6 is even worse than that of the Tensor G5, which is really intriguing.

According to leaked certification information, the Pixel 10a will feature a 6.3-inch FHD+ plastic AMOLED display, supporting refresh rates of 60Hz and 120Hz.

In terms of the imaging system, this model may be equipped with a 48-megapixel main camera (f/1.7 aperture), a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens (f/2.2 aperture), and a 13-megapixel front camera (f/2.2 aperture).

In addition, the new device is expected to be equipped with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage space. It does not support memory card expansion and will be built with a 5100mAh large-capacity battery.

Confusingly, all the hardware parameters exposed this time are exactly the same as those of the current Pixel 9a. Given that Google has often been conservative in hardware upgrades in the past, this configuration could indeed become the ultimate solution for the Pixel 10a.

However, the media also pointed out that operators often used data from previous generations of models as placeholders in the early certification stage, so the authenticity of these parameters cannot be determined at present. Furthermore, the document also confirms that the device supports the LTE Cat 19 network standard.

The product description in the certification document marks the model code as “STA5”, corresponding to the internal code “Stallion” (stallion) previously discovered by Android Authority.

The description emphasizes that STA5 is “the only phone independently developed and designed by Google, aiming to offer users a Google AI experience at an outstanding price.” The media’s interpretation holds that This emphasizes the deep participation and control over the process from design, engineering to manufacturing, which can be regarded as Google’s further promotion of self-developed design, indicating that the Pixel 10a will continue the market positioning of this series as an “affordable AI phone”.

The M3 Expressive has newly added the “Vertical Menu”, featuring new shape and color styles, as well as selection status and optimized submenu animation effects. Compared with the previous “Basic Menu”, the corners of the new menu are more rounded, and the divider lines and the currently selected items no longer occupy the entire width of the container.

Google has also launched the “with gap” option, which can be used in combination with the “with divider” option, thereby providing a more flexible layout for the Android system and achieving a clearer separation effect. The gap here can assist in “categorizing similar operations”, which is more expressive than the separator and can clearly show the relationship between items. The user guide includes:

Avoid changing the size of the gap

The gap in each menu should not exceed one or two

Do not use gaps in scrollable menus

In terms of color style, the effect of the “Vitality Menu” is more prominent than that of the “Standard Menu”, and Google also suggests that it should be used with caution.

Standard: Based on the surface, with low visual emphasis

Vitality: Based on the third color, it has a relatively high visual emphasis

The menu pairs well with the new split button. The shape changes of ME3 can make the corners of the focused sub-menus more rounded and the unfocused sub-menus smoother, bringing a sense of dynamics to the menu interaction.

According to Igeekphone, at the 2025 I/O Conference, Google released five new phenotypic components: button groups, FAB menus, load indicators, split buttons, and toolbars, and updated a large number of existing components: Buttons, extended FAB, FAB, icon buttons, progress indicators, navigation bars, navigation tracks, application bars, menus, sliders and toolbars.

As a background, Google released the Nano Banana based on the Gemini 2.5 Flash model at the end of August this year. Because this model can turn characters or anime photos into lifelike “3D printed figurines”, it has created a global breakout effect in a short time. Google CEO Pichai disclosed that driven by Nano Banana, the monthly active users of the Gemini app soared from 450 million to 650 million in just one quarter.

With the release of Google’s new flagship large model this week, Google’s image generation model has also witnessed an expected leapfrog upgrade.

In Google’s words, Nano Banana Pro can “turn users’ ideas into studio-level designs with unprecedented control, flawless text presentation and enhanced world knowledge”.

According to Google, the Nano Banana Pro is based on the Gemini 3 Pro released earlier this week. It not only outperforms the previous generation Nano Banana in terms of detail expressiveness, image resolution and text rendering accuracy, but also can generate text in different styles, fonts and languages. The new generation of image generation models has also added editing functions and incorporated Internet search capabilities.

Google emphasizes that Nano Banana Pro is the best AI model for generating correct and clearly readable text in images, whether it is a short slogan or a long paragraph, and supports richer textures, fonts and calligraphy. At the same time, with the enhanced multilingual reasoning capabilities of Gemini, users can generate text in multiple languages or translate and localize content.

In terms of the chip, according to the exposed code details, the Pixel 10a does not adopt the new-generation Tensor G5 of the Pixel 10 series, but is equipped with the same Tensor G4 chip as the Pixel 9 series.

In terms of storage, the Pixel 10a is expected to continue using the UFS 3.1 standard instead of the UFS 4.0 commonly found in current mid-to-high-end models. Although UFS 3.1 can still meet daily usage requirements, both its read and write speeds and energy efficiency lag behind the new generation of standards. Meanwhile, this device has also removed the dedicated telephoto camera, while the standard version of Pixel 10 just added this feature this year.

In terms of system functions, the Pixel 10a will lack Google’s latest edge-side AI feature Magic Cue, which can provide real-time contextual information during calls and chats. However, its screen brightness is expected to increase from 2000 nits of the Pixel 9a to 2200 nits, improving outdoor visibility.

This is a design deliberately created by Google. According to Android Authority, in the 12GB memory of the standard Pixel 10, Google has reserved approximately 3.5GB specifically for its own AI framework and for the dedicated processor responsible for AI tasks in the Tensor chip to call. This piece of memory can be imagined as an “AI exclusive VIP area”, accessible only to the AI functions of mobile phones. It is precisely because of this partition that the AI functions on the device end can operate normally, such as real-time voice translation, instant summary of call content, and photo editing, etc.

Last year, Google adopted a different memory strategy. At that time, the standard version of Pixel 9 chose a “safe approach”, opening up all memory for ordinary applications. The “Exclusive AI memory partition” is an exclusive configuration for the high-end model Pixel 9 Pro – which is equipped with a larger 16GB memory. But with the Pixel 10 series, Google changed its direction, apparently aiming to make AI occupy a more core position in mobile phones.

For the daily use of most users, approximately 8.5GB of available memory is actually sufficient to meet various demands. But Google’s positioning of the Pixel 10 is not merely “a phone that meets the needs of the present” – it should be noted that Google has promised to provide mainstream system updates for this phone for up to seven years. As the usage cycle of mobile phones extends, hardware needs to keep up with the continuous upgrading pace of software. By the end of the support cycle, future Android system versions, more resource-intensive applications, and more complex multitasking operation habits may all impose higher requirements on mobile phone memory. By then, the 3.5GB of memory that is currently “locked” might become a valuable resource that mobile phones cannot afford to consume.

Igeekphone needs to note that in the new Pixel 10 series, only the standard version is equipped with 12GB of memory, and all “Pro” models are equipped with 16GB of memory. Suppose Google also reserves 3.5GB of memory for AI in Pro models, then these models can still provide 12.5GB of available memory for ordinary applications. Therefore, for users who need to frequently perform heavy multitasking and plan to use their mobile phones for a long time, Pixel 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL or 10 Pro Fold would be more suitable choices.

For example, when you need to find the appropriate tools among a bunch of tools to complete a project, you can point the camera of your smart phone at these tools, and Gemini Live will highlight the correct tools on the screen. This feature will be first launched on the brand-new Pixel 10 series of mobile phones, which will be available on August 28th. Meanwhile, Google will start rolling out visual guidance features to other Android devices and plans to expand it to the iOS system in the coming weeks.

Google also announced new integrations of Gemini Live with more applications, enabling it to interact with applications including messaging, phone and Clock. For instance, when you are having a conversation with Gemini about the route to your destination, if you realize you are going to be late, you can interrupt the chatbot and say to it: “This route looks good.” Now, send Alex a message telling him that I’ll probably be about 10 minutes late.” Then, Google will draft a text message for you and send it to your friend.

Furthermore, IGEEKPHONE noticed that Google has also launched a new audio model for Gemini Live. The company stated that this model will “significantly improve” the chatbot’s application of key elements of human speech, such as intonation, rhythm and pitch. Before long, Gemini will change its tone according to the topic you are discussing. For instance, when you ask about a more stressful topic, it will use a calmer voice.

You can also adjust the speaking speed of Gemini to make it faster or slower. Moreover, if you ask Gemini to vividly tell a story from the perspective of a specific character or historical figure, the chatbot might adopt the corresponding accent to create a “rich and engaging narrative” effect.
