The highly anticipated Google Pixel 11 Pro is scheduled to make its debut later this summer, alongside the Google Pixel 11, which was leaked recently. While the overall design remains similar to the Pixel 10 Pro, a notable difference lies in the camera bar.
The camera bar will retain its presence but will now sport a fully blacked-out look, with only the body color surrounding the frame of the camera bar. This is a departure from last year’s model, which featured the body color around the flash portion of the camera bar.
Despite relatively thin bezels, Google’s Pixel 11 Pro may appear to have thicker bezels compared to some competitors. With rumors suggesting that the upcoming iPhone may feature 1.1mm bezels in the near future, Google’s bezel size might stand out.
It’s important to note that the color scheme described for the Google Pixel 11 Pro is not officially confirmed. These renders are based on Computer-Aided Designs (CADs) provided to case manufacturers, so there may be some discrepancies in the finer details, such as the presence or location of a SIM card slot. Additionally, it’s unlikely that the US model will feature a SIM card slot, as Google removed it from last year’s US models.
Moving on to the specifications of the Google Pixel 11 Pro, while details are scarce, we do know that the device will measure 152.7 x 71.8 x 8.4mm, mirroring the dimensions of the Pixel 10 Pro but slightly thinner. Internally, the Pixel 11 Pro is expected to be powered by the Tensor G6 processor, rumored to be a 7-core chipset this year, potentially switching to the MediaTek M90.
The Pixel 11 Pro is likely to retain 16GB of RAM, despite increasing RAM prices, and stick with 128GB of storage. However, there’s a possibility that Google might reduce the RAM to 12GB to offset price hikes in the RAM market, a trend observed among other Android phone manufacturers. It’s hoped that the “Pro” model will start with 256GB of storage, following the lead of the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL from last year.
The device will continue to feature a 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED display, a popular choice that delivers excellent visual quality, especially on a compact device like the Pixel 11 Pro.
As for the expected release date, the Google Pixel 11 series is anticipated to launch in August, following Google’s pattern of releasing new Pixel devices in the late summer months. This timeline places the release after the latest Samsung foldable devices but ahead of the new iPhone, typically accompanied by the vanilla model and the Pro and Pro XL models.
Regarding the expected pricing of the Google Pixel 11 Pro, details are still scarce due to the distant release date. Given the fluctuating market conditions and component prices, Google may finalize the pricing closer to the launch date. However, it’s hoped that the Pixel 11 Pro will maintain a similar price point to its predecessor, starting at $999, with a possible increase in storage to 256GB to align with market trends seen in other flagship devices.
In conclusion, the Google Pixel 11 Pro promises to be a worthy successor with notable upgrades and enhancements. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the official launch date in August.
