Google's Pixel 11 series appears to be all about refined iteration rather than breaking the mold and starting anew. Recently, we saw some of the first CAD renders of the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro. Now, we can add the Pixel 11 Pro XL to the proverbial mix, replete with the series-defining camera bar revamp and thinner bezels, thank heavens!

While Google is certainly not breaking the mold with the Pixel 11 Pro XL, its design language evolution is heading in the right direction

Android Headlines has now published CAD renders for Google's upcoming Pixel 11 Pro XL. As such, the device is expected to sport dimensions of 162.7 x 76.5 x 8.5mm, which means that the new apex Pixel would be a tad slimmer than its predecessor, while featuring the same 6.8-inch LTPO AMOLED screen.

The bezels on the Pixel 11 Pro XL appear somewhat thinner. Of course, these initial CAD renders might not be as accurate, and Google might well end up launching the Pixel 11 series with unflatteringly large borders. For now, judging from these renders, the device looks very much like a 'form over function' iterative update.

Of course, the biggest change with the Pixel 11 Pro XL appears at its rear, where the triple camera setup is now housed within an all-black camera bar. In the Pixel 10 Pro XL, a part of the camera bar is aligned with the body color, resulting in a two-tone look.

Finally, the device is expected to sport the following specs:

  1. A 6.8-inch LTPO AMOLED screen
  2. The 7-core Tensor G6 processor
  3. MediaTek M90 modem
  4. Base storage of 256GB
  5. A 16GB RAM
  6. A 5,500mAh battery
  7. Starting price of around $1,200
  8. H2 2026 launch
