Cough and snore statistics in the Digital Wellbeing app on the Pixel 7. If you want all the nitty gritty implementation details, I’ll provide a link to where you can learn more.
NOTIFYR PIXEL 2 ANDROID
Those Pixel 7 features are either part of Google’s proprietary apps (some within GMS and some exclusive to Pixel) or use functionality introduced in earlier Android releases.įor the Pixel 7 features in the following list, I’ll provide a brief summary of how they work under-the-hood because I’ve already written about them extensively in either my Android 13 deep dive or a previous edition of Android Dessert Bites.
I won’t be mentioning any of those features any further, because they don’t rely on new functionality introduced within Android 13.
NOTIFYR PIXEL 2 SOFTWARE
There are a lot of new software features introduced with the Pixel 7 series, including Photo Unblur, faster Night Sight, Cinematic Blur, new At a Glance alerts, a new Quick Phrase, voice message transcription in the Messages app, face unlock, Clear Calling, and more.
I’ll also talk about some of the features Google didn’t introduce yesterday, as it’s likely they’re holding them off for a future Pixel Feature Drop or the upcoming Pixel Tablet launch next year.Įvery Pixel 7 feature backed by Android 13 APIs Today, though, I can finally talk about how some of the new Pixel 7 features work under-the-hood. But before yesterday’s announcement, all I could do was speculate. I’ve been writing about Android for years now, and more often than not, whenever I thought a new Android feature was designed for a Pixel … it usually was. But when Google announced the Pixel 7 series the other day, I had an “aha!” moment because I could finally align the phones’ new software features with the Android 13 APIs that power them. Did the Android team introduce a new feature in anticipation of a future trend, to standardize something that’s already in use, because OEMs asked for it, or solely because it’s needed to support a feature on the next Pixel phone? It’s tough to pin down exactly why Google introduces a new Android feature sometimes, because they’re often tight-lipped about certain changes and I’m not privy to the meetings where the planning all goes down. Which came first: the chicken or the egg? Every time there’s a new Android release, I question if there’s some hidden meaning behind some of the new features.
