Google’s long-running face unlock comeback story may have hit another wall. A recent Pixel 11 series leak claims that Project Toscana, Google’s rumored infrared face unlock system, likely will not debut on the Pixel 11 lineup because it is still not ready for release.

The feature was expected to give future Pixel phones a stronger rival to Apple’s Face ID . Earlier reports said Project Toscana was tested on both Pixel phones and Chromebooks , with Face ID-like speed and better low-light performance. The latest leak suggests Pixel users may have to wait beyond the 2026 lineup for that upgrade.
