The author shared experiences with two AI features on the Google Pixel 11 Pro. The first is the HiLight ring on the back, which glows when Gemini is responding or attention is needed, eliminating the need to unlock the phone to check status. The second is Magic Capture, a hybrid camera mode powered by Gemini and the Tensor G6 that records video while simultaneously extracting perfect, full-resolution still photos.
