Google teases the Pixel 11 Pro and hints at a new camera bar feature
Google has released a short teaser video ahead of its 12 August hardware event, offering a brief glimpse of the Pixel 11 Pro and hinting at a new feature tied to the phone's camera bar. The clip shows the device's triple-lens camera array alongside an unexplained circular indicator displaying spinning colours, but Google has not disclosed what it actually does, leaving commentators and fans to speculate ahead of the full unveiling.
The teaser's voiceover references Google services such as Gmail, Maps, Search, Calendar and Gemini, and its title alludes to "the next obvious move" without further detail. Speculation ranges from a processing indicator akin to the rainbow "pinwheel" on Macs, to colour-coded notifications similar to the Nothing Phone's Glyph interface, to a tie-in with Google's push into mixed reality. Separately, leaks suggest the Pixel 11 Pro will feature a 6.3-inch display with 3,600 nits peak brightness, a Tensor G6 chip, three colour options, and a higher price than last year's model due to rising component costs.
