Pixel 11: AI Smart Device & New 'Glow' Feature?
7 Jul
Summary
- Google's Pixel 11 event is scheduled for August 12 in New York.
- New Pixels may feature 'Pixel Glow' instead of a temperature sensor.
- Expect an AI focus with features from Google I/O and potential price increases.
Google has officially invited the press to a "Made By Google" event on August 12 in New York City, signaling the upcoming launch of its next-generation smartphone lineup, the Pixel 11 series. This release is anticipated to include new professional models and a book-style foldable device, alongside the fifth generation of the company's smartwatch, the Pixel Watch 5.
A significant emphasis is expected on agentic AI, with the Pixel 11 aiming to become the ultimate AI smart device by integrating features showcased at Google I/O, such as Gemini Intelligence. While Android 17 is already rolling out, the Pixel 11 family might receive exclusive features not available on older models.
Rumors suggest a notable design change: the potential replacement of the temperature sensor with 'Pixel Glow,' a customizable notification LED-like feature that glows different colors for specific alerts when the phone is face down. Internally, Google continues its two-year focus on enhancing on-device AI efficiency. Reports indicate the base Pixel 11 may feature an improved camera but reduced RAM, alongside a potential price increase mirroring industry trends.
