Google has released a new teaser video for the upcoming Pixel 11 Pro Fold, building anticipation ahead of its official launch. The 15-second clip, titled “To switch phones, you have to be open to what’s new. And to what opens,” showcases the device’s sleek design and emphasizes its foldable nature.
Notably, the video highlights the pill-shaped cutout for the camera lenses protruding from the device’s signature Camera Bar, offering a glimpse into the phone’s advanced photography capabilities. The stylized ‘G’ logo illumination on the back adds a touch of flair to the presentation.
In conjunction with the teaser, the Google Store homepage now features a countdown timer set for August 12 at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET / 2 p.m. GMT, indicating the commencement of pre-orders for the Pixel 11 series. Similarly, Best Buy’s landing page for the Pixel 11 lineup mirrors this countdown, suggesting a coordinated launch across major retailers.
Interestingly, this pre-order window opens several hours before the scheduled ‘Made by Google 2026’ event and livestream, set for 3 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. ET / 10 p.m. GMT on the same day. This strategy mirrors last year’s approach, albeit with a more extended gap between pre-order availability and the official event.
The Pixel 11 Pro Fold represents Google’s latest foray into the foldable smartphone market, aiming to compete with established players by offering innovative features and a refined user experience. As the August 12 date approaches, consumers and tech enthusiasts alike are eager to see how Google’s new device will stack up against its competitors.
