Pixel 11 Pro leak suggests Google could ditch thermometer for Nothing-style RGB LEDs is attracting attention across the tech world. Analysts, enthusiasts, and industry observers are watching closely to see how this story develops.<\/p>\n

This update adds another signal to a fast-moving sector where product decisions, platform changes, and competition can quickly shape the market.<\/p>\n

With May now upon us, we are in peak Google season: I\/O is only a couple weeks away, and then we\u2019ve got just a few more months to go before the new Pixel 11 phones will be here. Thanks to some early CAD renders, we already started putting together our expectations for what changes might impact the new hardware, and now a new source is shining the spotlight on what could be some of the biggest ones we can expect from this year\u2019s models.<\/p>\n

As part of a massive Pixel 11 leak, the Mystic Leaks Telegram channel shares that Google is abandoning its infrared thermometer this year. And while we won\u2019t have that sensor on the back of the Pixel 11 Pro, Pro XL, nor Pro Fold, Google\u2019s not leaving this space blank \u2014 instead, the camera bar will now house a Nothing Glyph-like RGB LED array.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Both of those are ideas we\u2019ve heard before, but are presented here with more detail and clarity than was previously available. The loss of the thermometer was something we really started anticipating after the publication of those CAD-based renders, with models like Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL not showing any obvious signs of a thermometer.<\/p>\n

Google introduced the thermometer with the Pixel 8 Pro, and it\u2019s managed to stick around these past few generations. While we did find some interesting use cases for it, this probably went tragically underutilized, and we doubt anyone will be too surprised to see it go.<\/p>\n

The much more interesting angle is that RGB LED array. We\u2019ve been following evidence of \u201cPixel Glow\u201d for months now, a new platform for \u201clight animations\u201d that Google\u2019s been preparing. The image you see up top isn\u2019t an official rendering, and the source admits it\u2019s AI-generated, but also claims that it \u201cresembles the actual look of the Pixel 11 Pro\u2019s back cover.\u201d<\/p>\n

While that does look pretty cool, our excitement for the LED array has already been impacted by a little by possible limitations on what we\u2019re able to do with it. Some evidence, at least, has pointed to it being primarily used by Gemini, and it\u2019s really not yet clear just how flexible it may end up being. Compared to the Nothing Glyph display, this source notes that Google\u2019s version would be smaller.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Even if that\u2019s the case, it\u2019s still no doubt going to attract a lot of attention \u2014 and we can\u2019t wait to see it in action for ourselves. While the smallest Pixel 11 could miss out on the array, based on this information it sounds like it should be coming to the Pixel 11 Pro, Pro XL, and Pro Fold models.<\/p>\n
