A new teaser for Google’s upcoming Pixel 11 lineup reveals that the phones will feature some kind of glowing orb on the camera bar, as reported by 9to5Google.
Google’s store page for the Pixel 11 has a short video that shows the glowing, color-shifting orb to the one side of the camera bar. The store page doesn’t share any more information about it, but perhaps the orb is the “Pixel Glow” light feature that has popped up in Android 17 betas. If I had to guess, the orb will likely have something to do with Google’s Gemini AI.
We probably won’t have to wait too much longer to learn what the orb is all about. Google has announced an August 12th launch event for new Pixel hardware, and the teaser for that announcement also featured a look at the Pixel 11 — though without the glowing orb. The Pixel lineup is rumored to get more expensive, but at least the Pixel 11 colors might rule this year.
