• The latest Android 17 beta build includes thumbnails of Pixel 11 Pro Fold wallpapers
• It also includes names and descriptions for them
• They show swirling waters in green and black or gray shades, which might reflect the colors the phone will be sold in

Android 17 has been in beta for a while now, but the latest beta release includes something unexpected, as Google accidentally put in some thumbnails and descriptions for the not-yet-released Pixel 11 Pro Fold’s wallpapers.

As spotted by @evowizz (via Android Authority), there are two wallpapers included, one of which is called ‘Pine: Tidal Swirl’, and the other ‘Midnight: Lunar Tides’. There’s also a description included, which reads: “"Streaming waters swirl and flow through curving, rugged landscapes."

That description seems accurate from what we can see here, and they’re quite attractive wallpapers, so that’s one small thing to look forward to if you end up purchasing a Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

A hint at the colors

But beyond being nice in themselves, these wallpapers might hint at the shades the the Pixel 11 Pro Fold will be available in, with us perhaps set to see a green color of some kind, along with a darker shade. But in that case, there might be no change from the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which is sold in Jade (green) and Moonstone (gray).

So, that would be a shame, as it’s always nice to see new colors, but it’s possible that either these wallpapers don’t reflect the shades the phone will be sold in, or that the shades will still differ a bit from the current options.

Also, while there’s a good chance the Pixel 11 Pro Fold will be sold in both a green option and a darker shade, it’s unlikely, based on past form, that the names of these colors will be the same as the wallpaper names, so don’t expect Pine or Midnight shades.

We probably won’t know for sure until August, as that’s likely when the Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold will launch, alongside the rest of the Pixel 11 line.
