It’s already Pixel 11 leak season, with the first CAD‑based renders of the upcoming Pixel 11 Pro Fold hitting the web. The device doesn’t look all that different from its predecessor. Leaker @OnLeaks shared new renders through Android Headlines. These leaks are based on CAD drawings used for developing accessories and are usually fairly accurate, though they should still be taken with a grain of salt.
Design changes
The off‑center camera island returns with a slightly refreshed look that includes protruding lenses. Minor tweaks to the frame are present, but the overall silhouette remains familiar. The renders suggest a polished metal finish rather than the matte used on the past two generations, though finish details are hard to confirm from CAD alone.
Dimensions
- Thickness: 10.1 mm folded / 4.8 mm unfolded (down from 10.8 mm / 5.2 mm on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and 10.5 mm / 5.1 mm on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold).
- Height & Width (unfolded): 155.2 mm tall × 150.4 mm wide (unchanged from the previous generation).
While thinner than earlier Pixel foldables, the device is still above the sub‑9 mm thickness of competitors such as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Honor Magic V6.
Potential hardware updates

Modem: Leaks suggest Google may switch to a MediaTek modem for the Pixel 11 series, replacing the Samsung modem used in the Pixel 10.

Face unlock: There are indications of new face‑unlock hardware, which could explain why the foldable remains relatively thick.
