- The Pixel 11 lineup is expected to feature minimal design changes, including a possible "Pixel Glow" LED strip around the camera bar, while focusing on internal upgrades like the new Tensor G6 chip.
- A significant change is the rumored switch from Samsung's Exynos modem to a MediaTek baseband, potentially improving 5G performance and reducing power consumption issues that plagued previous models.
- Despite the new Tensor SoC, the Pixel 11 may retain the same criticized PowerVR GPU from the Pixel 10 Pro, suggesting limited improvements in graphics performance.
- The event may also unveil a new gold/copper color for the Pixel 11 and the Pixel Watch 5, which could feature an upgraded in-house Tensor chip for enhanced performance and battery life.
