When I first heard about the ‘Pixel Glow’ feature, I was cautiously excited. Finally, here was an actual hardware innovation from Google that wasn’t just a slightly better camera.
While leaks still haven’t shown exactly what this feature will look like, several hints hidden in current Android code give us a rough idea of how this feature is intended to function.
But while I’ve been waiting for a feature exactly like this, further leaks about the Google Pixel 11 series have replaced my enthusiasm with skepticism.
Fun utilities like Pixel Glow are great, but the company appears to be betting big on AI. The result is a phone that I think will look flashy, but has little under the hood to make a positive difference.
