Google is apparently gearing up to introduce one of its biggest design revamps ever with the upcoming Pixel 11 Pro, going so far as to grant the unreleased smartphone a cameo within its recent I/O keynote.

Unfortunately for Google, the tantalizing teaser of the Pixel 11 Pro was a bit too brief, managing to evade getting noticed by virtually the entire tech-related blogosphere, until now that is.

Google's tantalizing Pixel 11 Pro teaser suggests a new design language is in the works, one that borrows heavily from the Nothing Phone's Glyph interface

As you can see in the cover image, Google's Pixel 11 Pro teaser at the recent I/O shows a Pixel-like smartphone with a glowing camera bar outline in what is likely a nod to the rumored 'Pixel Glow' feature.

As such, the feature appears to be borrowing heavily from the Nothing Phone's Glyph interface, and can serve as a unique LED-based notification system, with customizable colors for specific contacts or alerts.

We already know that Google's upcoming Pixel 11 Pro is expected to sport dimensions of 162.7 x 76.5 x 8.5mm, which means that the new near-apex Pixel will be a tad slimmer than its predecessor, while featuring the same 6.8-inch LTPO AMOLED screen.

What's more, as per the device's early CAD renders, the bezels on the Pixel 11 Pro are likely to be somewhat thinner. Also, the smartphone's triple camera setup is now expected to be housed within an all-black camera bar. Do note that a part of the Pixel 10 Pro XL's camera bar was 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 12GB or 16GB RAM
  6. A 5,500mAh battery
  7. Starting price of around $1,200
  8. H2 2026 launch
