Overview
- Google set its Made by Google event for August 12 and posted 15‑second teasers that officially show the Pixel 11 Pro Fold’s refreshed rear camera island and overall design.
- Countdowns on the Google Store and Best Buy pages indicate pre‑orders are likely to open on August 12, with shipments expected roughly one to two weeks after the event.
- Multiple leaked marketing assets and press renders report that the Pixel 11 family will center on Google’s Gemini AI and include a rear RGB notification element called Pixel Glow or HiLight, though those features remain unconfirmed until the event.
- Corroborated leaks attribute a Tensor G6 chip across the lineup and point to high‑end Fold hardware such as an ~8‑inch internal LTPO OLED, a ~6.4‑inch cover OLED, up to 16GB RAM, up to 1TB storage, Titan M3 security, a 48MP‑led triple rear camera, and roughly a 4,800mAh battery, all reported but not yet official.
- Industry reporting and a European retailer listing suggest the Fold could carry a steep price increase versus its predecessor, which could push Google to raise base storage and affect how quickly consumers decide to upgrade.
