most of the pixel devices are now receiving the June edition of the new Pixel Feature Drop. On a Pixel 8 Pro review unit, Google has confirmed that the most recent update is currently accessible and it is going to enable gemini AI for pixel devices. New features have been added to Pixel smartphones, Pixel Watch variants, and Pixel Tablets with this 0.97GB security update. All these features, however, will not be available to users in all across the world.
The formerly exclusive Gemini AI for Pixel devices like 8 Pro will now be accessible for compatible devices on the Pixel 8 and the recently released Pixel 8a. However, owners of these phones will have to enable it using the Developer options included in Settings.
key highlights of feature drop
Gemini Nano on Pixel
The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8a smartphones can now do advanced AI-enabled functions on-device thanks to Gemini Nano. This would include feeding power to the Recorder app’s Summarize feature, which, according to Google, works better, produces better results, and allows you to export the transcripts to a Google Docs file. Mirroring material to an external display is another feature included in all of the latest Pixel smartphone models. The user must also have a display and a USB Type-C connection that are compatible for this capability.

new camera improvements
The Pixel Camera app has another useful update that allows you to manually select the lens you want to use when snapping pictures. This is exclusive to the telephoto-equipped Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7 Pro, and Pixel Fold. In the past, the camera would select a lens or camera (telephoto or main) based on how far away you were from the subject. Lens Selection, a new feature of the Pixel 8 Pro’s Pro mode, allows users to manually choose their preferred lens or camera, overriding the system’s default lens selection. This gives users who dislike digital crops with scaling more control even though it lessens the number of digital crops when zooming in.
car crash detection on pixel watch
The latest addition to Pixel Watch is Car crash Detection, which, upon detection of a high-impact vehicle incident, will notify already set contacts and emergency agencies. The Pixel Watch 2 is compatible with Car Crash Detection. Since the Pixel Watch Wi-Fi may not be able to dial all emergency numbers in all countries, the feature ideally requires the Pixel Watch to be paired with a Pixel smartphone in order to function effectively. Additionally, the previously available Fall Detection capability has been enhanced.
update your Pixel device for Gemini AI
You need to update the software on your Pixel smartphone in order to access the new features. Navigate to Settings > System > Software Updates to accomplish that. To upgrade your phone, tap system update option and adhere to the on-screen directions. You need to be running the most recent software after restarting.
