If there’s one thing that Google’s Pixel lineup isn’t known for, it’s for new and unique features. The gadgets have mostly ridden on the quality of their camera, Google’s exclusive branding, and stock Android. However, the Pixel’s do have their quirks, and one of these for the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL is their Active Edge. The feature that first made it on the HTC U11 gives users a unique way to interact with their devices. Now, we’ve got details for the Pixel 3 XL’s Active Edge.

The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL’s Active Edge signaled a collaboration between Google and HTC before the pair finally started to collaborate in making smartphones. The feature, despite its hype, allows little functionality, allowing users to silence their gadgets or bring up Google Assistant. Of course, these options are only Android’s default settings; the feature’s functionality can be enhanced with add-ons such as Edge Sense Plus.
