’s Tensor G6 chipset, which is expected to power the Pixel 11 series is likely to support the new IR camera system. The image signal processor (ISP) of the chip will reportedly have a new “lite” front end designed specifically for this purpose. If this plan goes through, it would potentially match Apple’s rumoured under-display Face ID technology for 2026.

This rumoured feature is similar to the secure face unlock offered by the Pixel 4. The 2019 Pixel phone includes two IR cameras for facial recognition that works even in the dark, but were removed in the following Pixel generations. Since the Pixel 7 series, all Pixel phones adopted a face authentication solution that uses the regular front colour camera.

Meanwhile, the placement of the regular selfie camera in the Pixel 11 model is unclear at this moment, however, it is expected to be housed in the ***** punch cutout on the display.
