Pixel HiLight: Custom Contact & Gemini Light Glow

HiLight is a ring of ambient, color-coded LED lights wrapped around the camera’s flash. When your phone is face down, its subtle glowing lights gently alert you if your favorite contacts are calling or messaging, or when you’re talking to Gemini hands-free.

The true magic happens when you customize HiLight’s colors. You can assign different colors to the most important people in your life. If your phone is resting on the dinner table and begins to emit a glow in the color you chose for your best friend, you know exactly who is trying to reach you.

These custom light alerts allow you to stay present. Simply glance at the soft light and make an informed decision about whether to answer the call or read the message right away.^,,,

This ambient glow is also integrated with Gemini. Designed for Gemini Intelligence, Google Pixel delivers personal, proactive help across your phone. It’s supercharged assistance with the things you do every day.

When you ask Gemini to send a text, check a flight, or play a song from across the room, you don’t always know if your phone has registered your question or if you need to repeat yourself.^, With your phone face down, HiLight is a visual indicator for quick Gemini questions. It lights up when your AI assistant is active, giving you a clear visual cue that it heard your voice.
