Google Pixel 11 Leaks Reveal Bold New Colors, MediaTek Modems, and 2nm Chip

Google's next generation of Pixel smartphones, the Pixel 11 series, is generating buzz with leaked details about its color palette and internal upgrades. Anticipated to launch around August 13, the devices have seen early product pages appear on e-commerce sites like Amazon, revealing potential colorways and specifications.

The standard Pixel 11 is rumored to arrive in a striking fuchsia, a bold blend of pink and purple, alongside moss green and midnight black. The Pixel 11 Pro models are expected to feature a sandy 'Dune' color and a deep 'Pine' green, among others. While specific color names are subject to change upon official announcement, these leaks offer a glimpse into Google's design direction for the new lineup.

In terms of hardware, the standard Pixel 11 is reportedly set to include 12GB of RAM and start with 256GB of storage, a step up from previous models, potentially accompanied by a $100 price increase. The Pixel 11 Pro might see a reduction in RAM from 16GB to 12GB, though this remains unconfirmed. A significant shift is expected in the modem, with the Pixel 11 series reportedly moving away from Qualcomm to MediaTek's M90 modem, a change anticipated to address persistent complaints about signal instability and battery drain.

Furthermore, the Pixel 11 series is slated to feature the Tensor G6 chip, manufactured using TSMC's cutting-edge 2nm process. This positions the Pixel 11 to be among the first devices to utilize this advanced manufacturing technology, potentially ahead of Apple's next iPhone. While hardware upgrades are notable, the focus for this year's Pixel launch may also heavily lean into AI applications powered by Gemini Intelligence, alongside new features like 'Pixel Glow' for enhanced light-effect interactions on the Pro models.
