Pixel 11 Leak Details Tensor G6, MediaTek Modem Shift, and New Camera Sensors Across the Lineup

A major Pixel 11 leak has laid out what looks like a near-complete early picture of Google’s next flagship phone family, including chip details, camera hardware changes, and a few feature-level surprises. The report comes from Mystic Leaks and covers the standard Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

At the center of the leak is the new Tensor G6 chip. It’s said to use a 1+4+2 CPU layout, paired with updated ARM C1 cores, a PowerVR C-series CXTP-48-1536 GPU, Google’s Titan M3 security chip, and a MediaTek M90 modem identified as the MT6986D. If accurate, that would mark a notable break from Google’s long-running use of Samsung Exynos modems in the Pixel line.

The same leak also points to a new TPU and a new GXP image signal processor, suggesting Google is continuing to push more of the imaging and AI stack in-house. On the camera side, the standard Pixel 11 is rumored to use a new 50-megapixel main sensor codenamed “chemosh,” and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is said to use that same sensor as well.

For the higher-end slab models, things reportedly shift again. The Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL are said to get new sensors codenamed “bastet” and “barghest” for the main and telephoto cameras, though the leak doesn’t attach final public specs to those parts yet.

Another interesting detail involves the Pro models’ hardware temperature sensor. According to the leak, Google may remove that sensor from the Pixel 11 Pro line and replace it with a “Pixel Glow” element built into the camera bar. It’s described as something loosely similar in spirit to Nothing’s Glyph approach, with a small colored LED beside the flash that can display Google-style visual effects.

The report also says Google’s Project Toscana face unlock hardware won’t arrive with the Pixel 11 series, which lines up with separate recent reports suggesting the company’s more advanced infrared face unlock system still isn’t ready for release.

As for the broader hardware picture, the leak lists a 6.3-inch display for both the Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro, while the Pro XL moves to a 6.8-inch panel and the Pro Fold uses a 2076×2160 inner OLED display with a separate 1080×2342 outer screen. Battery figures mentioned in the report include 4,840mAh for the Pixel 11, 4,707mAh for the Pixel 11 Pro, 5,000mAh for the Pro XL, and 4,658mAh for the foldable model, with memory options ranging from 8GB to 16GB depending on the version.

None of this is official yet, of course, but taken together, the leak paints the Pixel 11 family as a meaningful platform update rather than a minor refresh, especially because of the move to a MediaTek modem and the reported changes to camera hardware across multiple models.
