Google unveiled the new Pixel 7 and 7 Pro yesterday at an event in New York. The new phones are powered by the Tensor G2 SoC and bring some exclusive features that set them apart from the rest of the Android pack. However, a new report claims the search giant will be bringing some of these features to the Pixel 6 series and older devices via the upcoming Feature Drop.
With Google’s quarterly Feature Drops, Pixel phones gain exciting new features and enhancements. According to PhoneArena, the company’s next Feature Drop will take place in December and will bring some of the exclusive features seen on the newly launched Pixel 7 smartphones. The majority of the new features will arrive only to Tensor-powered smartphones, meaning the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, and 6a. However, the non-tensor phones will not be totally left out, they will also be receiving some interesting stuff.
As per the publication, the Pixel 6 series will get Clear Calling in the upcoming Feature Drop. For the uninitiated, the Clear Calling feature reduces background noises during phone calls. In addition, the Pixel 6 lineup will also get a new quick phrase, which will enable users to stop an incoming call by saying “silence.”
Furthermore, the Pixel 6 devices will get the Guided Frame accessibility feature, which was announced with the Pixel 7 lineup. This feature allows people with poor vision to take selfies using voice commands while positioning the phone.
Google’s Real Tone enhancements will also be available for last year’s models. With this feature, you are able to take photos with more accurate skin tones on your Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 devices. Real Tone improvements produced for the new models will be made available to last year’s Pixels and will be combined with Night Sight and Portrait mode.
