Google offers a new Pixel Feature Drop for owners of Pixel devices. According to Google, all of these will be used for Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, but for the remaining Pixels that are still supported, you will get a subset of "related updates."

Anyway, let us directly into the water droplets. The December Pixel Feature Drop puts Snapchat on your lock screen (if you want it to be there) with Quick Tap to Snap. Google claims that this means you will be able to make Snaps faster than on any other device. In addition, "starting this month", you will be able to add a new Pixel-specific lens called Pixel Face to your Snaps. This feature will be used in Pixel 4a 5G and newer phones.

Next is the car key. As already announced, Pixel 6 and 6 Pro can now be used as digital car keys for certain 2020-2022 BMW models in "certain countries". Pixel 6 Pro now has ultra-wideband enabled, which improves nearby sharing.

Dialogue mode is a new "early" accessibility feature in the Sound Amplifier app, now available in beta on Pixels. This uses machine learning on the device to help you hear the conversation better in a noisy environment by adjusting the voice of the conversation partner and eliminating competition noise.

The Now Playing experience has also been upgraded-if it can't automatically find a song, you can open the new search button and click to let Pixel find the song for you-this is vaguely worded in Google's press release, but we assume Once you click the button, the search will be performed online, which is different from automatic recognition done entirely on the device.

To celebrate International Day of Persons with Disabilities, there are also new wallpapers, which you can find in the Curated Culture collection.

In addition to Spain, Ireland, Japan, the United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore, and the United States, support for car accident detection has been extended to Taiwan, Italy, and France. After turning on this feature in the "Personal Safety" app, your Pixel 3 or newer can help detect whether you have been in a serious accident. If a crash occurs, the phone will confirm with you whether everything is normal, and if there is no response, it will share your location with emergency rescuers.

The Recorder application supports new transcription languages: Japanese, French, and German, suitable for Pixel 3 and newer versions.

Finally, the Pixel Buds A series have not been forgotten, and their bass level control has been improved. On any device running Android 6 or higher, you can open the Pixel Buds app and use the slider to adjust the bass from -1 to +4.

WP is also restricted like ios. It has a unique user interface, but it is unfamiliar and does not provide the flexibility of a Windows computer.

Well, I hope WP still exists. It provides a very unique and (stylish) interface with a native dark mode that provides a smooth experience even on hardware with a limited budget. I remember that Nokia Lumia is one of the few phones that offers OLED phones.
