Pixel 11 Pro Fold – This Changes EVERYTHING!

We've just had a massive wave of leaks

on the Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold from CAD

models to camera design all the way to

the chip and the display. But there's

one feature in here that if Google

actually manages to pull it off could

generally change the entire foldable

market. So get a popcorn ready and let's

dive in. So yes, you heard that right.

The CAD models have already leaked.

These are coming from on leagues and

Android headlines, both very reliable

sources. Straight off the bat, the

design looks uh very familiar to last

year's model and the previous years.

It's set to be made out of aluminium and

glass. And when open, the screen looks

to be pretty much the same, 8 in in

diagonal and with a square 1x1 aspect

ratio. The bezels look to be the same

thickness as well, and the selfie camera

is in the same spot as last year up in

the right hand side corner. But flip it

around the back and you will notice a

new polished metal look as opposed to a

matte on the previous versions. As well

as a different design for the main

camera. The LED flash and the microphone

are now located in the top pillshaped

island. And the point where the island

touches the back plate is actually

curved now. And I got to say, I do

really like this new camera design. It

makes it look much more modern and way

cleaner. But the design isn't even the

most interesting part of these CAD leaks

because according to these CAD models,

the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is said to be

getting quite a bit thinner than the 10

Pro Fold. When folded, the thickness is

rumored to be around 10.1 mm thin

compared to 10.8 on the Pixel 10 Pro

Fold and 10.5 on the 9 Pro Fold. As yes,

fun fact, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold was

actually thicker than the 2024 9 Pro

Fold as Google added magnets for Pixel

Snap, their Maxif equivalent. But now

with the 11 Pro Fold, when unfolded, the

thickness drops all the way down to 4.8

mm versus 5.2 on the Pixel 10 Profold

and 5.1 on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Now,

I'm always happy to see thinner devices

as long as there aren't any compromises

to things like battery life. And spoiler

alert, there may be. Now, compared to

the Pixel 9 Pro Fold from 2 years ago,

it's really not that much thinner. And

once you compare it to the Samsung

Galaxy ZFold 7 and the Oppo Find 6 at

just 4.2 mm unfolded, well, Google's

numbers suddenly look a lot less

impressive. But you know what could make

up for the lack of thinness? The price.

Just like the price of our stunning 8K

wallpapers. And that's free. Yes, we've

got hundreds of free 8K wallpapers with

zero ads in our app wallpapers for iOS

and Android. But first, when is the

Pixel 11 Pro Fold expected to come out?

Well, Google released their Pixel 9

lineup in August of 2024, the Pixel 10

lineup in August of 2025, and this year,

all the leaks are pointing towards

another August release, just in time for

my birthday. So, what about that price?

Well, earlier rumors were pointing at a

cheaper Pixel 11 Pro Fold, starting at

only $14.99 as opposed to $1799 on the

Pixel 10 Pro Fold. But these rumors

about Google's road map were before the

increased tariffs and the crazy RAM

shortage that we're going through today.

So, realistically, it could still be

priced at the same $799 price point as

last year's or even worse around 2,000

just like Samsung's latest Galaxy Zfold

7. But here's where things get really

interesting. The chip inside this thing

could be a genuine gamecher because

that's said to be the new tensor G6

which could use TSMC's latest

manufacturing process. I'm talking about

a 2nmter manufacturing node. Samsung

already released their XM 2600 chip last

month in the Galaxy S26 series which

actually made it the first 2nm chip in a

phone. Apple's also expected to follow

with the A20 chip in September. So, if

Google launches the Tensor G6 in August,

this would be the first time Google

actually ships a chip that's

theoretically more advanced than

Apple's. But that's according to one of

the rumors because all the other rumors

are saying that Google will still use

the SMC's 3 nanometer and 3P node with a

1 and six core configuration. Now,

3nmters is definitely not outdated, and

it's also not all about nodes and

nanometers here. The performance of

Google's latest chips has been uh quite

underwhelming lately. For example, in

multi-core in Geekbench, the newest

Tensor G5 barely scores on par with the

A15 chip from an iPhone 13 Pro Max, a

phone from 2021. And the single core

performance is even worse, barely edging

out an iPhone 12 Pro Max from 2020. So,

if you're someone who edits photos,

videos, and games a lot on your phone,

then you're probably going to feel that

difference if you use a Google phone.

So, I would be very excited to finally

see Google's chips on par with Apple's

Qualcomms and Samsung's. But even if the

chip improves, there's something else

that Google has been struggling with for

years. You see, all previous Pixels used

tensor chips from the G1 to the G5, and

they've also used Samsung's Excellence

modems. But with a Tensor G6, Google is

said to be using a better and more

efficient MediaTek modem. One that could

improve the cellar connectivity and also

improve the battery life. You see, the

Pixel 10 Pro Fold actually had a very

good battery life. No complaints here.

Although, compared to something like the

Oppo Find 6 that comes with a massive

6,000 mAh battery, the Pixel 10 Folds 55

was not that great. However, compared to

my 4,400 mAh ZV 7, the Pixel definitely

lasted much longer. So now with this new

modem, we could see an even longer

battery life, even though the capacity

itself, by the way, is rumored to still

remain the same. Also, with no silicon

carbon either, but there's a feature

that could change everything, and it's

the one that I teased at the beginning

of this video.

Welcome to the first removable battery

on a foldable. And yeah, I'm not going

to lie, when I first read this, I

thought it was a joke. But it turns out

that Google actually filed for a patent

in US back in January. And they

showcased how this removable battery

could work. According to the filings,

the battery would be housed within a

battery chassis inside a phone that you

could then take out with ease. Now, it

won't be as easy as replacing the

battery on the old LG G5, for example,

that literally featured a battery you

could slide out, but all you would need

to do is take the back cover off, then

remove the wireless charging coil, and

then take out the battery from its tray

and slide the new one in. Super easy. No

repair shop needed, which I think will

be a gamecher for foldables that cost

close to two grand, as you don't want to

throw these things away or pay a fortune

to swap their batteries down the line.

Now, if that wasn't exciting enough,

there's one more thing that Google's

been working on in secret. Have you ever

wanted proper Face ID on the Pixel

lineup? Not a 2D face recognition that

most Android use. No, I'm talking about

proper one. One that uses an infrared

sensor, a flood eliminator, just like on

the iPhone. Well, that's Google's secret

project. And according to initial tests,

it works just as well as the iPhone's

Face ID, even in low light. And the best

part, it will allegedly only need a

single punch hole camera, not an entire

dynamic island. It also relies on

infrared, just like the iPhone, which is

great news because the Pixel 10's face

unlock only works reliably when you have

good lighting. And apparently, this is

made possible to some extent by the

Tensor G6's support for an underthed

display infrared camera. So, I'm really

curious to see how this would even work

in the first place. And if Google

manages to pull all of this off, I might
