Google releases first Pixel 11 teaser and shows Pixel Glow [Video]

Following the event announcement last week, Google today released the first Pixel 11 teaser.

Google starts by acknowledging that this year’s lineup is indeed the “Pixel 11” series. Google shows off what is presumably the Pixel 11 Pro in gold, with the entire Google Store landing page heavily leaning into that color theme. The page is titled: “The next generation. Google Pixel 11. August 12.”

The calendar invite teases Gemini Intelligence.

Tune in to Made By Google on August 12 at 6pm ET / 3pm PT to learn the latest news and updates, from Gemini Intelligence to the new lineup of Google Pixel devices.

We then have our first look at what’s been rumored to be called Pixel Glow. Instead of a light strip, the circular light occupies the same space as the flashlight to the right of the camera bar. We speculated that was the case last week.

It can show a full range of colors and looks like the Mac’s “Spinning Beach Ball of Death” when the OS or an application crashes.
