Official images of the Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro Fold, and Pixel Watch 5 are online. A circular LED element on the Pixel 11 Pro's camera bar is getting attention.

For months, people called the feature 'Pixel Glow' after finding references in Android previews. But Google might launch it as HiLight.

A software engineer shared this information on X. Many people believe him because he often reveals Google's unreleased features correctly.

If true, 'Pixel Glow' might have been Google's internal name before choosing HiLight for consumers.

The feature was first seen in Android 17 Beta 4. It gives 'subtle light and color' effects when the phone is face down.

Google has shown the feature in videos, but hasn't explained how it works.

Leaks suggest the LED system could notify users of calls without needing to turn the phone over. It could also give visual feedback with the Gemini AI assistant.

If true, HiLight could be a key feature of Google's premium Pixel phones.

Leaks indicate the circular LED module will be in the camera bar of all three flagship models.

Google's promotional materials show the ring displaying multiple colors, possibly offering more expressive effects than old notification LEDs.

Google hasn't confirmed the feature's capabilities. Users will have to wait until the launch event on August 12.

Google sees the new lighting system as a key differentiator, but reactions are divided.

Some users think Google should focus on hardware improvements like faster performance or better cameras instead.

Others are more positive, suggesting the design would look more premium with lighting effects around the entire camera ring.

Supporters think the feature could give the Pixel lineup a distinctive visual identity.
