Google today announced the next big update that will come to the smartphones of the Pixel series. One of the main problems with the devices is their battery, with Google promising even better battery management through Adaptive Battery. Let’s see all the new details in detail:
Improvement of the Adaptive Battery
The Adaptive Battery feature on Pixel devices teaches which applications the user uses the most and lowers the consumption of other applications. With the new update, the Adaptive Battery from Pixel 2 devices will then predict when the battery will run out, further reducing backstage activities. This will result in longer use of the devices.
Improved Sleep Quality
The new Bedtime feature in the Watch app promises to maintain a continuous sleep schedule for users. If the user does not sleep at the default time, the application will snapshot about how much time the user spent and in which application.
In addition, users will be able to determine if they want some relaxing melodies to play at night, for a more restful sleep. Finally, the Sunrise Alarm will gradually increase the brightness of the device when the alarm goes off, although there will also be an option for the traditional audio alarm.
Interaction of Recording with Google Assistant and Docs
Through Google Assistant, users will be able to have full control over the recording application, with the built-in commands being the start, pause, and search for recordings. It is also possible to save a copy of the recording to Google Docs, for easy sharing with other users.
Features for personal safety
The Security application introduced with the advent of Pixel 4 devices will be available on all Pixel devices. Also, the option to predict an accident while driving will be available on Pixel 3 devices.
Another new feature is the safety check, which can be activated by the user before starting an exercise such as walking and the device will send notifications to the device at regular intervals. If the user does not interact with the notification, then the application will send a notification to the contacts that have been set as emergency contacts, sending them together and the user’s location in real time, via Google Maps.
These are the features that will come to the owners of Pixel devices. The exact release date of the update has not been announced, but it is expected soon.
