Google is preparing to launch the Pixel 11 on August 12, and early leaks suggest the standard model will miss a key hardware feature found in its Pro sibling. This distinction matters because it clarifies exactly which buyers get the new HiLight RGB lighting system and who should expect a more traditional camera array. The standard device will ship with 12GB of RAM, a correction to earlier rumors that suggested a lower memory configuration.
Leaker confirms 12GB RAM and 10.8MP telephoto lens while excluding HiLight feature
The smartphone arrives with a specific camera setup that contradicts previous reports from Android Headlines. Leaker evowizz confirms the device includes a dedicated telephoto lens fitted with a 10.8MP sensor. This detail resolves earlier confusion about whether the standard Pixel 11 would rely solely on its main and ultrawide cameras for zoom capabilities.
- RAM: 12GB
- Telephoto Camera Sensor: 10.8MP
- HiLight Feature: Not included
Memory specifications have also been clarified by the same source. Evowizz corrected earlier suggestions from Mystic Leaks that the phone might ship with only 8GB of RAM. The standard Pixel 11 will exclusively feature 12GB of RAM, with no other configurations available for this model.
The most significant omission for the base model is Google's new HiLight hardware feature. Leaker evowizz stated that the standard Pixel 11 will not include this RGB LED lighting system. This aligns with reports positioning HiLight as an exclusive feature for the Pixel 11 Pro series.
