Summary
New leaks say Google’s base Pixel 11 will ship without the HiLight rear LED feature, making the glowing add-on exclusive to Pro models.
The same leak says the entry model will still carry 12GB of RAM, countering earlier rumors of an 8GB cut despite Google’s heavy push into memory-hungry AI features.
Camera hardware appears largely unchanged: the base Pixel 11 is tipped to keep a 10.8MP telephoto sensor from last year’s Pixel 10.
Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 11 lineup within days, with late leaks continuing to sharpen the split between the standard and Pro devices.
