TL;DR
- After limiting Pixel HiLight to just five colors, Android 17 QPR2 Beta 5 now includes four additional color options.
- Separately, code in the latest beta update suggests Pixel HiLight could gain support for messages.
- Since these changes only appear in the latest Android 17 beta, it’s hard to say when they will be widely available.
Among the many features Google introduced with the Pixel 11 lineup is the Pro-exclusive Pixel HiLight. It comprises a set of LEDs around the camera flash that illuminates when there’s an incoming call from favorite contacts or a Gemini task running in the background. Although there are only five usable colors on offer right now, we’ve known pretty early on that a total of nine could be on the cards. We can now offer a glimpse at these new colors.
