Google’s Little Slip: Pixel 11 Pro Revealed
With the official Pixel 11 launch event just around the corner, Google mistakenly showcased the Pro model, revealing a new colour variant.
Pixel Glow Previewed
After several teasers, including our first true look at the new Pixel Glow feature, Google has uploaded an image of the new Pixel 11 Pro smartphone on its website.
Google Fi Error
As depicted, the Pixel 11 Pro is featured on the Google Fi site alongside devices from Samsung and Motorola. It states, “Subscribe to Google Fi Wireless updates now to access special savings when the Pixel 11 series launches on August 12.”
The promotion seems contradictory as it prematurely reveals the phone’s design before the launch event, leading to its swift removal; however, Droid Life captured a screenshot before it disappeared.

Pixel 11 Pro XL or Just a Naming Confusion?
Even though the promotion specifically mentions the Pixel 11 Pro XL, the device shown appears to be the more compact Pixel 11 Pro. The offer aimed at US customers will let you acquire the phone for only $100, likely if you enroll in a new contract and possibly trade in your existing phone as well.
New Colourway Unveiled
More significantly, it seems to confirm a completely new colourway, believed to be named Dune. This aligns with a recent leak that showcased seven distinct Pixel 11 colour options and may be exclusive to the two Pro models (not including the Fold), which we evaluated the most intriguing of the selections.
This colour features a gold metal frame reminiscent of Google’s teaser images; however, they do not disclose the back’s colour. I would be keen to see a black and gold colourway, but it’s more probable that it’s merely concealed in the visuals.
What’s Different with Pixel 11
In addition to the new Pixel Glow feature, the Pixel 11 lineup is anticipated to receive enhanced displays, processors, and storage. However, a price increase appears to be forthcoming, as well.
Conclusion: Google’s Sneaky Preview Blunder
Google has made a mistake, and we’re all for it. A taste of what the Pixel 11 has in store, sprinkled with a touch of Goldilocks charm, but be cautious as the price hike might leave your wallet feeling the pinch!
