Calling all Pixel enthusiasts! Google has been busy showering Pixel owners with exciting updates and innovations, making it an even more compelling time to be part of the Pixel ecosystem. Here's a glimpse of what's new:
We’re ringing in the new year with our first Feature Drop of 2024, bringing you updates that make your Pixel phone even more helpful — from a new way to search on your phone to taking your body temperature. These features will roll out over the next few weeks, with some features launching today.
Google's Pixel phones are getting a fresh batch of updates with the latest Pixel Feature Drop. While not every update is groundbreaking, this month brings some pleasant surprises, especially for those rocking the Pixel 7, Pixel 8, and even the Google Pixel Fold.
What's in Store for Pixel Phones?
We’re ringing in the new year with our first Feature Drop of 2024. Circle to Search by Google, recently introduced on Samsung's Galaxy S24 lineup, is now making its way to the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. This handy feature allows quick access to Google Search and will soon be available on other compatible devices beyond Google and Samsung.
Additionally, all Tensor G2- and G3-equipped Pixel models are getting support for 10-bit HDR video recording and Ultra HDR photos. Sharing stunning 10-bit HDR videos on Instagram Reels and posting Ultra HDR photos on Instagram is now a breeze.
But that's not all! The latest update introduces "Next Gen Call Screen" for Pixel 6 and later models, helping manage calls seamlessly with Google Assistant's assistance.
AI Awesomeness: The December 2023 Feature Drop brought a wave of AI-powered enhancements, particularly for Pixel 8 users. These features include Live Translate enhancements for smoother conversation flow and Call Assist for spam identification and blocking, making your Pixel even more intelligent and helpful.
Pixel Perks: Beyond the hardware and software updates, Google is offering Pixel owners exclusive perks. The new Mint color option adds a refreshing touch to the Pixel 8 lineup, and there are whispers of a Pixel-exclusive AI assistant called "Pixie" on the horizon, promising even more personalized experiences.
So, Pixel owners, rejoice! This is an exciting time to be part of the Google Pixel family. With cutting-edge technology, extended support, and continuous innovations, your Pixel phone is poised to offer a truly exceptional smartphone experience.
Pixel Watch Upgrades
Not just limited to phones, the Pixel Feature Drop extends to the original Pixel Watch, offering new training and workout modes exclusive to the Pixel Watch 2. The addition of the Fitbit Relax app brings relaxation and mindfulness to Pixel Watch users, completing the smartwatch's feature set.
Wear OS 3 smartwatches are also in for a treat with the inclusion of public transit directions and support for passes from Google Wallet.
More Goodies for All Supported Pixel Devices
App Screen Sharing allows sharing specific apps during casting or video calls, enhancing usability across Pixel devices. The improved Google FastPair experience simplifies reconnecting Bluetooth devices across devices.
And for the productivity enthusiasts, handwritten annotations are coming to Google Docs on Android tablets and phones running Android 8 or newer. Plus, a redesigned Gboard Voice Toolbar promises a seamless voice input experience.
