Get updates while your Pixel 11 Pro is face down with HiLight.

HiLight, a new Pixel 11 Pro feature, gently glows to notify you of timely updates — keeping you informed when your phone is down.

Get updates while your Pixel 11 Pro is face down with HiLight.

Google's latest Pixel Pro phones now feature HiLight, a new tool designed to keep you focused by reducing distractions. This innovative feature employs color-coded lights to alert you to important information, allowing you to stay informed without constantly checking your screen. For instance, if you have initiated a conversation with Gemini, HiLight will emit different patterns to indicate when Gemini is listening, processing, or responding.

Additionally, HiLight enables you to personalize notifications for incoming calls from your most significant contacts. This means, when your phone rings, you can instantly discern whether you should answer or allow the call to be directed to voicemail, based on the color assigned to that contact. The HiLight feature is set to debut on three models of the Pixel Pro: the Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, all of which are currently available for pre-order.

The pricing for these devices starts at $1,099, $1,299, and $1,899 respectively. They are scheduled to be available in stores starting August 20. Both the Google Store and our retail partners will carry these devices. For further details on availability and updates on the product, interested customers are advised to visit the Google Store.
