- Thinborne pulled a classic; it debuted an early set of Pixel 11 cases, and there’s a staggering change: a wider camera bar cutout.
- Nothing is confirmed—by Google, of course—but the wider camera could be to accommodate the rumored Pixel Glow LED lightning.
- Rumors are split about Pixel Glow, as some suggest it could be a light bar, while others claim it’ll be nestled inside the bar itself.
Nothing is official, but that’s not stopping Thinborne from crafting cases in preparation for Google’s Pixel 11.

Android Central’s Nicholas Sutrich wonders if this wider camera cutout is because of the long-rumored “Pixel Glow” we’ve been hearing about for weeks. There are assumptions everywhere, particularly because people are curious about what’s going on.

That would be ideal, but again, nothing’s confirmed yet.
