Recently, images of the Pixel 11 Pro have surfaced, showcasing a design that closely resembles its predecessor. The main visible difference is the introduction of an all-black camera bar, replacing the previous metal section.

The absence of the infrared thermometer feature, while niche, is a unique aspect of Pixel phones, allowing users to measure the temperature of various surfaces using the Thermometer app.
Despite the missing sensor, other specifications of the Pixel 11 Pro remain unchanged from its predecessor, including dimensions and build quality.
