TL;DR
- The Pixel 11 Pro’s colorful rear light may launch under the name “HiLight.”
- We previously found the feature under the Pixel Glow name in Android 17 Beta 4.
- Google has shown the light in teasers, but hasn’t confirmed its final name or full capabilities.
Google has already teased the colorful rear light coming to the Pixel 11 Pro, but the company may be saving one small surprise for launch day. The feature we’ve been calling Pixel Glow may not be called that at all, with one source claiming it will be named HiLight.
The claim comes from software engineer Dylan Roussel on X, who says the Pixel 11 feature won’t launch under the Pixel Glow name seen in Android 17. Roussel has a track record of uncovering hidden features in Android betas and Google apps, although this new revelation is far from confirmed.
