The Pixel 11's "glow" feature is actually called HiLight—here's what it does
The camera flash will evolve into a multicolor LED that illuminates when your phone is face down.
Google's upcoming Pixel 11 series, set to launch later this month, appears to have undergone minimal changes since last year's release. One of the standout features, however, is the illuminated dot that has been hinted at in recent leaks and teasers. Initially referred to as "Pixel Glow," a new leak has finally confirmed its official name: HiLight.
According to a post on Bluesky by WinFuture's Roland Quandt, a photograph of the Pixel 11 Pro Fold's camera module reveals the HiLight LED inside the device. Unlike the previous Pixel Fold, the new design features a smaller camera bump without a separate section for the flash off to the right. The HiLight, likely serving as both the flash and a flashlight, can also display a variety of colors.
