  2. Who said it, and whenMystic Leaks reported it on May 4, 2026 in Telegram.
  3. What happened, and whenGoogle Pixel 11 Pro Fold was announced on Aug 12, 2026, 100 days after this report.
  4. The verdict, and whyRightIt turned out the way this report said.Why: Correct, and on both halves of the report. Google replaced the temperature sensor on the Pixel 11 Pro series with an ambient LED ring it calls HiLight — launch coverage of the announcement describes it as "Replacing the temperature sensor after three generations... a ring of ambient LEDs built around the flash", which is the RGB LED array in the camera bar the leak described.
What do these words mean?
Right
It turned out the way this report said.
Partly right
Some of this was right and some of it was not.
Wrong
It did not turn out this way.
Moving target
This was right about the plan at the time. The company then changed it.
Never settled
The company has announced the product and nobody ever confirmed or denied this.
Not comparable
This measured a different thing from the number the company published, so the two cannot be compared.
No outcome yet
Nothing has happened yet that would prove this right or wrong.
Not checked yet
The company has answered this. We have not finished checking this one.
Checked
Checked means the company has since given an answer and we compared it with what was reported. Details still waiting on an answer, details nothing can settle, details where the plan itself changed, and details we have not finished reviewing are all counted separately and are not part of that number.
Moving target
A moving target is a report that described the plan accurately at the time, on a product the company then changed. We count these on their own: it would flatter a reporter to call them right, and it would blame a reporter for a decision that was not theirs to call them wrong.
