New Features in Pixel

It’s all updated and looking great!
Features from the Pixel 5 are rolling out to Pixel 3 and newer devices. They include Hold for Me, which helps save you time when you’re put on hold with a company. Pixel users in the United States who enable Hold for Me will have that Google Assistant call screen disappear when someone’s ready to talk. Google has discovered that when Hold for Me is active, it saves users about eight minutes a call on average.
The company has also introduced Extreme Battery Saver for previous models of its Pixel-branded devices.
If you turn on Battery Saver mode, your Pixel can restrict some apps and only run the essentials so your battery lasts as long as possible.
Members of the same family or close friends can share in the joy of watching thiir favoueitr shows and movies. Duo screen sharing is already available in one-to-one calls, but now it can do group calls as well, so long as you’re using Wi-Fi or a 5G connection.
The redesigned model has a new tab that leverages machine learning in Google Photos to suggest edits specific to each photo. The Pixel is rolling out the new photo editing tools. One is called “Dynamic” and it enhances brightness and contrast. Another, dubbed “Sky,” will help you easily create stunning sunset and sunrise images in one tap.
Customizing your style
Google devices work best when they are there for you seamlessly throughout the day—no matter where you are. This is called ambient computing, and this informs how Pixel adapts to you in real time. Adaptive Sound lets you enjoy better-sounding phone calls through your phone’s speaker, based on your surroundings.
Adjusts the sound equalizer in certain apps based on the acoustics near you if you use the microphone. Grab your Pixel while you’re getting ready in the morning and move it from the bedroom to the bathroom? No worries! Your audio always sounds great wherever you are.
If you are walking somewhere, the GPS on Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a (5G) is now more precise.
This means it can detect what street you are on instead of asking you to indicate the location, or assuming which side of the road you are standing. (Not available at launch in all countries or locations, and requires an internet connection and Android 8.0 or later.)
Pixel can also now translate the web pages you are viewing if you’re using Google Lens.
You just need to take a screenshot or swipe into App Overview, and tap the Lens chip to test the translation. If available, Google Lens translations are also available at https://g.co/help/lens.
Improvements to Adaptive Battery for Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a (5G) can automatically save even more power if a user is likely to miss their next charge, keeping the device powered even longer.
The Adaptive Charging program of Google’s Pixel devices helps protect the health of battery cell through dynamic charging control. If you plug your phone in at night, set an alarm, and allow the Adaptive Charging to work its magic, you will.
Model your way
Your phone should look like it belongs only to you. Now you can customize your feed with new channel suggestions, sorting options and smart selection controls, or even select a feed wallpaper from famous artwork found on Google Arts & Culture (coming soon into the wallpaper choice pool in settings).
According to Star Wars fans , Google, Disney and Lucasfilm have experimented with an augmented reality experience called “The Mandalorian”, which you can download to your 5G Google Pixel devices or other select 5G Android phones on Google Play.
Pixel 3 and newer devices offer Mandalorian wallpapers on the home screen with original new options. Music enthusiasts can appreciate: Your Pixel can already notice songs that you hear if you activate Now Playing; all the songs you hear are stored in your Now Playing History.
