We started off the week checking out the first real nice preview we\u2019ve gotten yet of the smallest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-11-renders-3653150\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pixel 11<\/a>, and now we\u2019re turning our attention to the Pixel 11 Pro.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_nm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1766572210_733_google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1766572211_278_google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once again, this imagery arrives courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidheadlines.com\/google-pixel-11-pro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Android Headlines<\/a>, which produced a series of renders based on measurements the site obtained from its sources. After all those great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/galaxy-z-fold-8-wide-compare-3652247\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Samsung foldable renders<\/a> last week, apparently it\u2019s time to switch gears to Google. These kind of renders aren\u2019t officially made by Google, and may not include all the small details that will be present on the final device, but there\u2019s a chance that they\u2019re relatively accurate when it comes to general size and shape.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"pixel 11 pro cad renders 1\"  alt=\"pixel 11 pro cad renders 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pixel-11-pro-cad-renders-1.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of size, the Pixel 11 Pro reportedly measures in at 152.7 x 71.8 x 8.4mm, which sounds a bit like a well-weathered Pixel 10 Pro, just ever-so-slightly smaller across all dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, the most notable design change we\u2019re spotting is that new design for the camera bar, with components mounted against a uniform background instead of the two-tone look we saw from the Pixel 10 Pro. Perhaps as a casualty of this redesign, we\u2019re not immediately spotting the return of that phone\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/new-home-owner-pixel-10-pro-thermometer-3616469\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">infrared temperature sensor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"pixel 11 pro cad renders 3\"  alt=\"pixel 11 pro cad renders 3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pixel-11-pro-cad-renders-3.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>While these renders are very informative to check out, it doesn\u2019t seem like the source behind them has a lot of insight into offer into the hardware we can expect to find within this phone. There\u2019s mention of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/what-i-want-pixel-11-tensor-g6-3621120\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tensor G6<\/a> almost as an inevitability, and speculation about possibly abandoning 16GB of RAM in a money-saving move to 12GB, but that does not appear to be actually backed up by anything just yet. In fact, the only spec this source seems particularly confident about is the retention of the Pixel 10 Pro\u2019s 6.3-inch AMOLED screen.<\/p>\n<p>Would you buy a Pixel 11 Pro with no temperature sensor?<\/p>\n<p>236 votes<\/p>\n<p>No way! That was such a useful little tool on the Pixel 10 Pro.<\/p>\n<p>26%<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, sure. I don&#8217;t usually need to know how hot things are.<\/p>\n<p>74%<\/p>\n<p>All told, this is nice early look, but one that probably leaves us with more questions than answers. We\u2019re also feeling a bit hyped for more Pixel 11-series renders on the way \u2014 after two in two days, we\u2019d be very surprised if we didn\u2019t see a few more land later this week.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
