This hidden notification light isn’t really new because the original Google Pixel too, had a hidden notification light which was later enabled using the phone’s settings. The gen-next Pixel phones too have it. Darren Gloster, a tech enthusiast from UK has managed to lay hands upon an early review unit of the Google Pixel 2. He claims that the phone does have a hidden LED notification light. It is turned off by default but it can be turned on by the users. Considering that the phones come with an always-on OLED display, there’s no real need of a LED notification light. However it does make things interesting as it allows the users to set different colors for different sort of notifications and can tell you at one glance if there’s something that you need to check out on an urgent basis. Let us now take a look at how to enable this hidden notification light on the Google Pixel 2.
