Verizon is offering substantial discounts on Google's Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL models—56% off the Pro ($620) and 45% off the Pro XL ($580)—requiring only full retail purchase and signup for their month-to-month Simplicity Plan with no contract.
Google is expanding Pixel HiLight capabilities with four new color options in Android 17 QPR2 Beta 5, bringing the total to nine colors, and code suggests incoming message notifications from favorite contacts may be coming soon. The feature, exclusive to Pixel 11 Pro, currently has limited functionality with only five colors available.
