Google will introduce the new version of the Android operating system at the I/O 23 event it will organize next May. It is also expected to unveil the Pixel 8 series smartphones here. Of course, existing devices continue to receive Feature Drop updates. Here are the innovations…
What does Google’s Feature Drop update bring?
Google offers a Feature Drop update at certain times of each year to add new features to the Pixel family. The first update of this year was also released today for Pixel Watch, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro models. So what does this version bring with it?
First of all, we see that the Pixel Watch is similar to the fall detection feature we saw in Apple. In this way, it will now be able to automatically detect that the user has fallen hard and notify the emergency services.
The second remarkable innovation is on the camera side. For many years, there has been a belief that smartphone manufacturers deliberately worsen cameras. However, Google has given an update that proves that it does the opposite, adding Night Sight (night vision) mode to its devices.
In addition, it brings the Magic Eraser feature that we saw on the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, and which many manufacturers like Samsung later integrated into their smartphones. In this way, you will be able to clean the unwanted objects or people in the background in a few seconds.
Finally, it was said that the At a Glance feature will be offered in a short time and that all Pixel models with a Google account can be intervened from a single device. In addition, the UWB digital car key feature, which acts as a remote control for cars, is also coming.
