Pixel 11 Pro trades one niche feature for another — but which is your favorite?
Thermometer or HiLight? Pick your challenger.
The Pixel 11 series presents a trade-off between two features: HiLight and the thermometer. HiLight is a new LED notification feature that glows when important contacts call or when Google's Gemini is active. This feature, advertised as a minor upgrade, could potentially evolve into a symbol of Pixel phones. On the other hand, the thermometer, often labeled as a gimmick during its inception, has developed into a useful tool for many users.
It has been helpful for checking fevers, determining if one is actually sick, and even calibrating thermostats. Despite initial disdain, it has become an invaluable accessory for certain users. Therefore, the question emerges: is it worth sacrificing this niche feature for the allure of a potentially iconic notification LED?
