While there have been attempts to reproduce the same effects using the phone’s flash, colorful rings around selfie cameras, and even bespoke secondary displays, the feature hasn’t quite returned to the mainstream. That could change soon with future Pixel devices, as Google appears to be working on a special light feature, called Pixel Glow, that would work alongside Gemini.In the recent past, we’ve seen Pixel Glow mentioned in Android’s code, and have now come across another mention of the various colors the light could offer.
