Leaked Pixel 11 Pro Fold photos also include mysterious new camera bar feature
Leaked marketing images reportedly show Google’s forthcoming Pixel 11 Pro Fold in a new green “Pine” colour, with its overall design appearing largely unchanged from earlier models. The main apparent alteration is a glowing multicoloured element in the rear camera bar, which may be a new notification or Gemini feedback feature called Pixel Glow; its purpose has not been confirmed by Google.
The foldable is rumoured to retain a 6.3-inch outer screen and an 8-inch internal display, with a tall, book-style shape. Google is expected to unveil it at its Made By Google event on 12 August, amid reports that a RAM shortage could increase Pixel prices; the Pro Fold could reportedly cost up to $100 more.

Explained simply
Google's Pixel 11 Pro Fold is the company's forthcoming foldable smartphone, due to be unveiled later this year. Leaked marketing images have emerged showing the device in a new green colour variant called "Pine," along with what appears to be a new glowing, multicoloured feature on the rear camera bar. The purpose of this feature, potentially called "Pixel Glow," remains unconfirmed by Google.
The device is expected to retain the basic design of its predecessors, featuring a 6.3-inch screen on the outside and an 8-inch display that opens like a book. The main apparent change from earlier models is the new glowing element on the camera bar, though what it does—whether it provides notifications or serves another purpose—has not been officially explained.
Google is expected to announce the Pixel 11 Pro Fold at its Made By Google event scheduled for 12 August. Reports suggest that a shortage of computer memory components could lead to price increases for Pixel phones, with the Pro Fold potentially becoming up to $100 more expensive than previous generations.
