Google lets Pixel 11 owners customize how their phones buzz
Key Points:
- The Pixel 11 series introduces custom vibration features, allowing users to select from various vibration patterns like Heartbeat, Gears, and Rattlesnake for ringtones and notifications.
- Users can assign unique vibration patterns to individual contacts, enabling identification of callers by vibration alone without looking at the screen.
- These features were initially discovered in APK teardowns of Google apps and have now been officially implemented on the Pixel 11 lineup.
- Custom vibration settings are accessible via the Sound & vibration menu, offering recommended patterns based on ringtone selections and separate options for notifications.
- Currently exclusive to Pixel 11 devices, it remains uncertain if Google will extend these custom vibration options to older Pixel models in future updates.
