I\u2019ve been impressed with it overall, but I noticed that, as Google has done before, the device isn\u2019t set up perfectly out of the box.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/tech\/google-pixel-11-black-friday-deal\/\">Pixel 11 is $200 off in this early Black Friday deal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After spending a few weeks with the device, I found that several features are either turned off by default or need optimizing to work in the best way possible. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ziff-davis-exco-video is-injected\" id=\"exco-video-block-6a8e06fe4d2cfb09fd68fb54-1425702-4\" data-exco-video-id data-exco-playlist-id=\"6a8e06fe4d2cfb09fd68fb54\" data-exco-video-title data-exco-video-src data-exco-video-duration=\"0\" data-exco-video-poster data-exco-suppress-ads=\"0\" data-exco-autoplay=\"0\" data-exco-sticky=\"1\">\n<p class=\"exco-video__eyebrow\">More from ZDNET<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.Pick a Camera Look style&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>The camera was the biggest reason I first joined team Pixel back in 2016, so it\u2019s one of the first places I looked on the Pixel 11 Pro XL. New this year is Camera Looks, a setting that changes how images will be processed before you take them. You can change a number of settings, including contrast, shadows, tint, sharpness, and warmth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/google-pixel-11-review\/\"><strong>A week with the Pixel 11 changed my mind about Gemini<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always loved the camera on any Pixel I\u2019ve had, but I\u2019ll admit that images can look a little over-processed at times. If picture quality is important to you at all, it\u2019s vital to set this feature right out of the box because it applies to every image you take from that point on. You can find Camera Look by opening the camera app, tapping the settings icon in the bottom-right corner, and making your changes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Customize your lock screen widgets&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>Pixel\u2019s \u201cAt a Glance\u201d lock screen widgets are one of the most sneakily useful features, and you\u2019re missing out if you\u2019re not using them. These widgets are off by default, but when you enable them, you can see real-time information without unlocking your phone. You can see weather info, sports updates, flight information, rideshare and food delivery updates, fitness information, and more. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/best-tech-gift-2026\/\">These tech gifts topped our experts\u2019 2026 holiday wish lists<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To use these widgets, long-press on an open space on your home screen. To customize your widgets, go to Settings &gt; Wallpaper &amp; style &gt; More lock screen settings &gt; Widgets on lock screen. To access your widgets, you just swipe left from your lock screen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Enable Smooth Display<\/h2>\n<p>Out of the box, your Pixel 11\u2019s display isn\u2019t set to utilize its full capability. The Pixel 11 series comes with a fantastic low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) display, but it\u2019s slightly throttled in the name of battery life. You\u2019ll notice the increased resolution most on text and in fine details. It won\u2019t make a huge difference to your streaming or large display elements, though. If you read consistently, either articles or e-books, you\u2019ll want to make the change. <\/p>\n<p>To change this, head to Settings &gt; Display &gt; Screen Resolution. Bump the setting from \u201cHigh resolution,\u201d which is 1080 x 2404, to \u201cMax resolution,\u201d which is 1344 x 2992.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Use Extreme Charging mode&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re anything like me, your phone usually needs a quick charge some evenings. The Pixel 11 series introduced Extreme Charging Mode, which accelerates charging by pausing background activity and non-essential apps. Google says the mode should charge the Pixel 11 and 11 Pro to over 50% in 30 minutes, and the Pixel 11 Pro XL to 75% in 30 minutes. From my testing, that estimate was pretty accurate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/google-pixel-11-first-look\/\"><strong>After testing the Pixel 11, I feel fine about skipping the Pro models<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are a few caveats: this feature is only available when your phone is at or below 50% battery, and you do need to turn it on every time you use it. But after the first time you do it, it\u2019s available in your quick settings. Head to Settings &gt; Battery &amp; charging &gt; Extreme Charging to turn it on the first time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Customize HiLight<\/h2>\n<p>If you have the newest Pixel, you might as well take advantage of one of its biggest selling points. I felt like this feature was gimmicky at first (and I\u2019m still a little grumpy it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/google-removing-pixel-thermometer\/\">replaced my beloved thermometer<\/a>), but the more I use it, the more I like it. The multicolor LED on the phone\u2019s rear camera bump can indicate who\u2019s calling, serve as a status indicator for Gemini, and more \u2014 and it\u2019s almost certain that more usability will arrive over time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Where I found the most use was when I had my phone on silent. After assigning specific colors to contacts (you can do this from the contact information screen), I could easily see whether a call was worth picking up without reaching for my phone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/best-foldable-phone\/\">The best foldable phones<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To make sure you\u2019re getting the most out of your new device, head in and change your contact HiLight colors right away. It only takes a few seconds and makes deciding whether to answer a call a lot easier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Turn on Notification History &amp; AI Summaries<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve all accidentally swiped away an important notification or missed a notification in a sea of updates. The Pixel 11 offers two notification features to help you stay on top of things.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Notification History is a feature that logs every alert from the last 24 hours, including those you swipe away. This is off by default, meaning when you dismiss a notification, it\u2019s gone forever. With this on, you get a searchable, chronological backup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/pixel-11-pro-xl-review\/\">Google\u2019s big flagship is more Pro than ever<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>AI Notification Summaries, as the name implies, takes long multi-notification threads and stacked notifications and turns them into bullet points. This feature is powered by on-device Gemini Intelligence, and you can choose which apps to summarize.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can find both of these under Settings &gt; Notifications &gt; Notification history &amp; Notification Summaries.<\/p>\n<section class=\"zd-disqus\" data-zd-disqus data-disqus-shortname=\"zdnet-1\" data-disqus-identifier=\"1425702\" data-disqus-url=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/tech\/pixel-11-settings-to-change\/\" data-disqus-title=\"6 default Pixel 11 settings I changed that made a big difference \u2013 and why\" data-disqus-api-key=\"y0Dp0T6itn9rbTvSf2xkzkhaUL7c5EJsmaWF3XYBqXNz8GHH7wSX1nXi4qzdihWV\" data-disqus-show-label=\"Show Comments\" data-disqus-hide-label=\"Hide Comments\"> <button type=\"button\" class=\"zd-disqus__toggle\" data-zd-disqus-toggle aria-expanded=\"false\"> <span class=\"zd-disqus__toggle-text\" data-zd-disqus-label>Show Comments<\/span> <svg class=\"zd-disqus__toggle-icon\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" viewBox=\"0 0 14 14\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"> <path d=\"M7 1 V12.5 M2.5 8 L7 12.5 L11.5 8\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/> <\/svg> <\/button> <\/p>\n<div class=\"zd-disqus__panel\" data-zd-disqus-panel hidden>\n<p class=\"zd-disqus__consent\" data-zd-disqus-consent hidden>Please accept cookies to view the comments powered by Disqus.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.<\/noscript> <\/section>\n<div class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter-container\">\n<div class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter\">\n<div class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter_body\">\n<div class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter_nameBlock\">\n<div class=\"c-cmsImage articleAuthorBioFooter_image\"> <picture class=\"c-cmsImage_image\"> <img alt=\"Artie Beaty\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/artie.jpg?w=43\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/artie.jpg?w=86 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-64 photo\" height=\"64\" width=\"64\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"> <\/picture> <\/div>\n<div class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter_nameText\">\n<div class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter_name\"> <span>Artie Beaty<\/span> <\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter_credentials\"> Contributing Writer <\/span> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"articleAuthorBioFooter_bio has-bio\"> <span>Artie Beaty is a freelance writer, based just outside Charlotte, with a passion for smart home tech and tech news.
