New features like Pixel Glow and a redesigned Fold model are drawing attention. Users are eagerly awaiting Google's innovations this year. ## Pixel Glow Feature Pixel Glow is a multi-colored LED light feature on the back of the phone. Initially thought to be a light strip around the camera bar, recent leaks suggest it will be a circular light. ## Keep the Thermometer Feature The built-in thermometer introduced with the Pixel 8 Pro has become a favorite among users. Rumors suggest it might be removed in the Pixel 11 Pro for Pixel Glow, but users hope both features can coexist. ## Potential of Pixel Glow Users expect Pixel Glow to be more than just a notification light. Functions like a camera timer, charging status indicator, and soft fill light for photos could enhance its utility. ## Pixelsnap Accessories Envious of Apple's MagSafe accessories, users hope Pixel 10's Pixelsnap will offer more accessories. Magnetic holders and chargers could make users' lives easier. ## AI Kill Switch and Battery Technology Users want the option to completely turn off AI features. Additionally, switching from traditional lithium-ion to silicon carbon batteries could extend battery life and put Google ahead of competitors. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.zdnet.com/article/five-improvements-google-needs-to-deliver-at-next-months-pixel-11-event/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
