Google Pixel 11 Spotted in Leaked CAD Renders That Suggest It Will Arrive With Subtle Design Changes

Google appears to be refining its smartphone design with the Pixel 11, based on newly surfaced CAD renders. The images suggest slimmer display bezels and subtle changes to the camera bar, while keeping the overall look largely unchanged. This points to a year focused on incremental updates rather than a major redesign. Alongside these visual tweaks, the leak also hints at expected hardware upgrades, offering an early idea of what the Pixel 11 could bring ahead of its anticipated August 2026 launch.
