Pixel 11 Pro Fold Leak Confirms HiLight as 2-in-1 Flash and Notification LED

Summary
A new Pixel 11 Pro Fold image shows HiLight built into the camera module, indicating the illuminated dot doubles as the phone’s flash rather than a separate light.
French marketing text says HiLight glows when the phone is face down to flag calls from favorite contacts or Gemini chats, reviving the old notification LED in multi-color form.
The leak also points to a hardware tweak: the Pro Fold’s camera bump looks smaller than the previous Pixel Fold, with no separate flash section on the right.
Google is set to unveil the Pixel 11 lineup later this month, and HiLight stands out as one of the few visibly new features in a series that otherwise appears close to last year’s design.
