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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

But while I’ve been waiting for a feature exactly like this<\/span>, further leaks about the Google Pixel 11 series have replaced my enthusiasm with skepticism. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
