Google Pixel 11 Pro Teased Ahead of August 12 Launch

Google is expected to launch the Pixel 11 Pro on August 12, featuring a rear-facing circular light that may be branded as 'HiLight' instead of the previously leaked 'Pixel Glow'.

Software engineer Dylan Roussel reported the potential name change, noting that the feature was previously identified in Android 17 Beta 4 strings as a notification tool for favorite contacts.

Promotional footage released by Google shows the hardware component integrated into the camera bar, displaying rotating colors to provide visual feedback during Gemini interactions.
