This Weird Pixel Feature Is One of My Favorite Tools - Too Bad Google May Remove It Soon

Leaks say Google will replace the Pixel thermometer with Pixel Glow, while a late-2025 survey asked owners how often they used the sensor.

  • Tipster Mystic Leaks posted a full list of specifications for four upcoming Pixel models: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
  • These devices will reportedly feature a new Tensor chipset built on TSMC's 2nm node, with seven cores including an ARM C1-Ultra core, a Titan security chip, and MediaTek M90 modem.
  • Google appears to be removing the built-in temperature sensor from the Pro models, replacing it with a rumored Pixel Glow RGB LED array on the camera bump.
  • Battery capacity decreases across the lineup compared to prior generations, though the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL gain peak screen brightness reaching 3,600 nits on their OLED displays.
  • The inclusion of an aged PowerVR C-Series CXTP-48-1536 GPU from 2021 raises performance concerns, as the antiquated chip may struggle against modern flagship standards despite the 2nm process gains.
