Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold: official renders reveal camera overhaul and Pixel Glow LED
Google's Pixel 11 Pro Fold is getting harder to keep secret. Prolific leaker Evan Blass published several official renders of the foldable via evleaks, showing the device in a grey-green colorway called Pine. The images confirm a redesigned camera module and debut a new LED feature called Pixel Glow — and leaked pricing puts the whole package at $1,899 to $2,019 in the US, with UK buyers looking at up to £2,149 for the 1TB model, per notebookcheck.
The camera block
The overall shape of the phone stays familiar, but the rear camera arrangement has been rearranged. The bump itself is smaller, with almost no metal rim around the lenses. The main and ultrawide sensors have moved to the bottom of the module, while the telephoto sits in the upper-right corner. The triple-camera system is led by a 50MP main sensor, a 48MP ultrawide, and a 48MP periscope telephoto — the most complete overhaul the Pixel Fold line has seen since launch.

Pixel Glow, explained
The renders also confirm Pixel Glow, a new LED strip that will light up for notifications, incoming calls, and Gemini AI interactions. It appears to replace or at least supplement the traditional camera flash. This is a first for the Pixel Fold line and arrives across the entire Pixel 11 family.

Thinner, faster, different modem
Inside, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold runs Google's Tensor G6 chip, built on a 2nm process by TSMC — a notable shift from Samsung's manufacturing. More practically, the phone swaps Samsung's Exynos modem for a MediaTek M90, addressing six years of connectivity complaints from Pixel owners. The internal display measures 8 inches, the external cover screen 6.3 inches, and the body slims down to 4.8mm unfolded and 10.1mm folded. Battery capacity sits at around 4,800 mAh, per thepixelcase.
What to expect on price and timing
Google has already confirmed a price increase is coming — a global memory chip shortage is the stated driver. That puts the US entry price at roughly $1,899, up from the Pixel 9 Pro Fold's $1,799 launch price. In the UK, £2,149 for the top-spec model slots the Fold below the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra but close to the standard Z Fold 8 — with Gemini AI integration as the intended differentiator. The Made by Google event is set for August 12 (3 pm PT / 11 pm BST), with retail availability expected in October 2026, roughly six weeks later.
