Google’s next Pixel smartphones might be only a few months away, and we could already be seeing the first big leak for the Pixel 11.

Google has been hard at work infusing the DNA of its smartphones with Gemini, and even though this latest leak shows only CAD renders, it’s reasonable to expect the Pixel lineup will continue to focus heavily on AI.

Android Headlines first shared the leaked renders from the reliable leaker OnLeaks, and we don’t see many surprises. The leak is for the standard, non-Pro, Pixel 11, which received a significant upgrade in the previous generation by adding a third, telephoto camera. That’s still a differentiating factor from the standard and Pro iPhone these days. 

Thinner bezels, solid black camera bar

What’s actually different here, though? Not a lot. There appear to be marginally thinner bezels around the display, which we can assume will retain the 6.3-inch size as its predecessor. The only real and notable change is that the camera bar is now solid black, rather than a large cutout for all three sensors that contrasts with the rest of the bar. 

Even if the Pixel 11 renders change slightly in the coming months, the message seems clear: Google isn’t changing the design of its newest Pixel lineup. 

Google first introduced the Pixel’s massive redesign in the Pixel 6, including its defining horizontal camera bar and has continued to refine it ever since — with the exception of the latest Pixel A series. If the renders are to be believed, you might have to wait until the Pixel 12 arrives before you see substantial changes in the Pixel series design. 

All that said, given that Google’s been pushing the power of what AI and the inside of the phone can do, dramatic design changes may be a lower priority. Luckily, we may get a glimpse when Google takes the stage at its I/O conference in May.
