The specifications of Google’s next flagship lineup, the Pixel 11 series, have been leaked. Leaked, courtesy of telegram channel mystic leakReveals extensive details about the three Pixel 11 phones – base, Pro and XL – Pixel 11 Pro Fold. While we have dedicated pieces for the base variant and the Fold, we’ll be covering details about the Pixel 11 Pro in this article.
For starters, we don’t see any significant changes in display size, with the Pixel 11 Pro (codenamed “Grizzly”) and Pixel 11 Pro XL (codenamed “Kodiak”) sporting the same 6.3-inch and 6.8-inch displays, respectively. Both of these phones still use LPTO OLED panels, although we’ve noticed a slight increase in brightness, with both Pro devices now claimed to reach 2,450 nits in outdoor conditions.

Two of the three cameras, primary and telephoto, on the Pixel 11 Pro and XL phones are expected to be replaced with the new setup. Exact details of the new camera module are limited right now, but the source hints at a new 50MP sensor, which could be shared across all three candybar variants.
Meanwhile, both variants are rumored to have smaller batteries than last year’s Pixel 10 Pro and XL, which would cancel out the upgrade over previous generations. While the Pixel 11 Pro may come with a 4,707mAh battery, the XL may be limited to 5,000mAh. However, it’s entirely possible that the leak talks about rated battery capacity rather than normal or marketing values.
Additionally, despite the global shortage, the Pixel 11 Pro and XL may still come with up to 16GB of RAM. The Pixel 11 series is also confirmed to pack the Tensor G6 chip, which has previously been leaked as Google’s first 2nm chip.
Meanwhile, the leak also says that all Pixel 11 Pro phones (including the Fold) will remove the thermometer and instead feature an “RGB LED array” in the camera island. This Nothing phone will be similar to the Glyph 4A Pro but smaller in size. We’ve seen it referred to as “pixel glow” in previous leaks, though its exact size and location are unclear.
We still don’t have much information about the Pixel 11 series, but we’ll be sure to share them with you once we know more.
