Google Pixel phones are known for receiving Android updates the fastest, so Google should prioritize its own devices as expected. Google initially introduces the features that it releases to the public on Pixel devices. It’s a great idea for an Android fan to use a Pixel smartphone, but there’s a catch, Google Pixel smartphones are only sold in specific regions. So everyone is not lucky enough to own a Pixel.
No more new Pixel Experience updates
Pixel Experience project was initially launched in 2017, aiming to bring some exclusive Pixel features to non-Pixel Android devices. This allowed users to enjoy certain Pixel-exclusive features and the aesthetically pleasing stock Android UI provided by Google on their non-Pixel devices.
Henrique Silva, the owner of the Pixel Experience project, made an announcement on his website, stating, “Everything has to come to an end, sometime…” The Pixel Experience project is officially coming to a close.
While Henrique Silva did not provide detailed reasons for ending the project, he mentioned that the Pixel Experience website will remain accessible, meaning users can still download and install old builds. However, there won’t be any further updates. The termination of development for Pixel Experience, which was quite popular within the Android community, is indeed saddening.
