TL;DR

• Specifications of Google’s upcoming Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL have leaked.
• The Pro phones are said to feature improved cameras, brighter displays, but smaller batteries.
• The Pixel 11 Pro and XL, along with other phones in the series, are also likely to feature a small RGB LED that replaces the thermometer.

Overview of the leak

The leak, sourced from the Telegram channel Mystic Leaks, provides extensive details about the three Pixel 11 phones — the base, the Pro, and the XL — as well as the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This article focuses on the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL.

Display

• Pixel 11 Pro (codenamed “Grizzly”) – 6.3‑inch LPTO OLED panel.
• Pixel 11 Pro XL (codenamed “Kodiak”) – 6.8‑inch LPTO OLED panel.

Both displays are claimed to reach 2,450 nits in outdoor conditions, a modest increase over the previous generation.

Camera system

Two of the three cameras (primary and telephoto) on the Pro models are expected to be upgraded. The leak hints at a new 50 MP sensor that could be shared across all three candy‑bar variants. Detailed specifications of the new modules have not been disclosed.

Battery

Both Pro models appear to have smaller batteries than the Pixel 10 Pro and XL:

• Pixel 11 Pro: ~4,707 mAh
• Pixel 11 Pro XL: ~5,000 mAh

The figures may represent rated capacity rather than marketing‑grade values.

Memory and processor

• Up to 16 GB of RAM despite global shortages.
• Powered by the Tensor G6 chip, previously leaked as Google’s first 2 nm processor (source).

“Pixel Glow” RGB LED

All Pixel 11 Pro phones, including the Fold, are reported to ditch the traditional thermometer sensor in favor of an RGB LED array located in the camera island. This feature, dubbed Pixel Glow, resembles the glyph on the Nothing Phone 4a Pro but is smaller. Its exact shape and placement remain unclear (previous leaks).

Conclusion

While many details remain unconfirmed, the leak suggests notable changes to the camera hardware, display brightness, battery capacity, and the addition of a new RGB LED feature across the Pixel 11 Pro lineup. Further information will be shared as it becomes available.
