Leaks have revealed details of Google's upcoming Pixel 11 series, including new colors, a renamed HiLight feature, and upgraded Tensor G6 chipset and modem. The lineup includes four models with a high starting price, but improvements in battery life and performance are noted.
As the official reveal of the Google Pixel 11 series approaches, extensive leaks have surfaced, showing minimal redesign but notable internal upgrades. The lineup includes the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Fold, each available in different color options, with Pro and Fold variants receiving softer colors. A key new feature, previously dubbed "Pixel Glow," is now expected to be called HiLight, a color-changing LED light circle that can be assigned to contacts for call alerts and indicate when Gemini is active. All four models will be powered by the Tensor G6 processor and Titan M3 security coprocessor, promising cooler operation, better power consumption, and improved performance, though some claims of extremely fast charging are deemed dubious. The Pixel 11 series reportedly switches to a MediaTek M90 modem with an AI-powered traffic engine, potentially reducing power consumption by 18% and boosting download speeds. The Pro model will start at just under $1,100, and while the upgrades may not compel existing Pixel 10 users to upgrade, the new features offer reasons for excitement.
