Google Pixel 11 Pro & XL: Design Leak Reveals Surprising Omission of Temperature Sensor

Pixel 11 Pro Designs Leak: What to Expect

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.

However, a significant feature seems to be missing from these leaked CAD renders. The infrared temperature sensor, typically located within the camera bar, is absent in the new designs, a detail that has not been addressed by the source.

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.

Similar observations can be made for the Pixel 11 Pro XL, with minor differences in dimensions and color options.

Despite the missing sensor, the Pixel 11 Pro series is expected to launch in August 2026, powered by the Tensor G6 chipset, maintaining a consistent display size.

Speculation remains on potential upgrades in storage capacity and pricing for the upcoming Pixel models.
