All the improvements are: pixel 9 only, usa only, for pixel watch users, for fold users only. and some are 'coming soon'. for me with my pixel 8 pro user in Germany that does not use instagram or snapchat, there is no one single new thing for me. No screenshots for instance. And Google promises seven years of updates. But who believes Google?
@jevonsims900 I totally agree. I bet on it that they'll just ditch it as they did with so many good products. I used to love Google products but they are now more expensive than Apple, that doesn't spy on you and that are much more reliable and is serious about its products. Their products work. Like the air tags. The Google network is just worthless and I doubt if they'll fix it. Apple's is just brilliant. I can't believe my words but I'm considering moving to iPhone. I have an iPad, I have a Mac but always had an android. The iOS became so much better.
@@passivevii4052 I think it's more about privacy laws. In Germany they're so afraid of Google listening to calls and recording of calls is illegal even if you're part of the call. Google is just afraid of fines by the billions. Having said that, it makes their improvements just worthless.
@mikeehuntington That's just how they usually handle it or in anothet update for the 8 series as they do plan on supporting that for 5-7 years They usually to get to us lol I'm waiting for the pixel 10 series or the A series reminds me of the old Nexus phones love them
When is the "turn off all spying on me from Google" feature coming? Tired of finding data that Google collected and sold then it got resold, then got hacked somewhere else and sold on the dark web. And it showing up constantly on that "have I been pwned" website. Screw that, whatever it can do that iPhone can't isn't a big enough feature to make up for that SHlT!
I'm not seeing the December Pixel update and I'm not seeing it on the image download site for sideloading from Google either. I wonder if this is a little premature.
I can't use any stickers I've made in Pixel Studio on Gboard even though I have android 15. Is it simply just not ready yet for me or am I meant to activate something?
Just updated my P8Pro. No changes, except for different Setting look. Again. I don`t know why I spent so much money last year. Really. Google, are you kidding me?!
Watching with interest from Europe (where we have a nationlised healthcare system). I wonder what will happen to any investigation into these Healthcare Insurance companies come January 20 2025.
Me to updated on my 8 pro and nothing on my 9 pro xl. And this update is really bad. The dark mode was already grey and it is even worse. It messed up the whole system!
The video seems like it was mostly aimed at the 9 . Not even sure why drop a feature drop if it’s only available for your newest phones for a while before it slowly makes its way to the older ones .
I think more and more companies are going to stop supporting and giving them more updates and adding new features to phones more than a year old. They say or promise to support them for however many years but don't always do what they say. It's just a way to make you buy the latest model
Yeah it's really sad that they lock all the features behind the pixel 9 And above. Meanwhile, they're just software updates, not hardware, so the pixel 8 pro can handle these. Just typical greed

I know I don't believe Google at all.
I think Google will rebrand Pixel so they don't have honor the 7 years OS and Ai promise.

@@jevonsims900 well they promised OS and security patch updates, but did they really mention feature drops too?
Pixel drops seem to be exclusively pixel 9 anymore
It's not they eventually if hardware allows comes to others also
Respectfully disagree. Pixel 7 Pro have the same features 🔥
Guess I watched a different video because most the features he talked about he said coming to pixel 9

My Pixel 7 Pro recived this update, but my newest Pixel 9 Pro XL still didn't receive it! Why?
All I hear is "and it's coming for all pixel nines"

Mainly for US only
bullshit we're paying the same amount of money or more, why not release it globally
@@denniswarait's a US company? You act like other phone companies from other countries don't do the same
Too broke to get the 9 is a you problem
Im on an 8 pro beta version. The animations have been greatly improved but I havent seen any new features.
@@VitiateTheImmortal check the info or I think it's called pixel tips
What bout pixel 8 ?????
It’s frustrating that there is still no stack widget. I can’t believe we are about to enter 2025 and Google still hasn’t released a stack widget
Stackable Widget
Stackable Icons
Double Tap to sleep and Wake LockScreen Widgets
Google Pixel UI isn't what Android should be about.
Who cares? You're like the 1 percent of the world who actually cares 😂
Was hoping reimagine would come to the 8 Pro, maybe next year.
Is there anything in here which isn't just for Pixel 9s?
Pixel updates are getting boring, unless you have the latest models.
Don't be broke
Please turn off background music.
I don't see any updates on my 7 pro. Did Google stop supporting the 7?
I'm not seeing the December Pixel update and I'm not seeing it on the image download site for sideloading from Google either. I wonder if this is a little premature.
Where is 80% charge limit??
same I don't see it either
@@revolee993 i see it now
I got it in my pixel 8
@@adityaverma2965means you have this feature but how?
It's on my pixel 8 too
Im on pixel 9 pro xl and still haven't got it, idk what else to do
I can't use any stickers I've made in Pixel Studio on Gboard even though I have android 15. Is it simply just not ready yet for me or am I meant to activate something?
My Pixel 7 never received it. Ended up having to sideload...
Charge limit to 80% to preserve the battery is what I am waiting for
Just updated my P8Pro. No changes, except for different Setting look. Again. I don`t know why I spent so much money last year. Really. Google, are you kidding me?!
Broke?
does this affect beta users
Watching with interest from Europe (where we have a nationlised healthcare system). I wonder what will happen to any investigation into these Healthcare Insurance companies come January 20 2025.
Too much of kind enough. Hmm, is this Android authority or Google authority
Another reason why I choose to own a Pixel over a Galaxy phone.
This hasn't dropped yet. Still on the November one and on a pixel 9 Pro
You Tube put this video in my searches and I have to say that Chris Martin gives a pretty good Pixel Features overview!
My Pixel 7 Pro recived this update, but my newest Pixel 9 Pro XL still didn't receive it! Why?
Me to updated on my 8 pro and nothing on my 9 pro xl. And this update is really bad. The dark mode was already grey and it is even worse. It messed up the whole system!
I still haven't got it 9pro xl user here
Did anyone else notice a change to app animations I feel like there's more of a bouncy affect.
I don't see this update on my 9 pro fold?
I hate the dot notifications in pixel phones, instead of numbers, I'd like to see numbers not silly dot, nobody talks about this hateful thing.
I never knew there was a screenshot app lol
The video seems like it was mostly aimed at the 9 . Not even sure why drop a feature drop if it’s only available for your newest phones for a while before it slowly makes its way to the older ones .
Now playing on my 9 pro not always working properly...
Password should be asked to open the power menu. So that no unknown person can switch off our phone. This feature is already present on most UI
I agree but if you want, there is an app called Cerberus lock screen protector which I use and it works pretty well
I think more and more companies are going to stop supporting and giving them more updates and adding new features to phones more than a year old. They say or promise to support them for however many years but don't always do what they say. It's just a way to make you buy the latest model
Very nice!
Have t gotten it yet on my Pixel 6🤦♂️
Nothing, no updates yet on my P8p
Ok, dont see any of the updates on the pixel 8.
Updated mine
Showcasing a device on the edge of a table!!! It's irritating rather than exciting
Yeah it's really sad that they lock all the features behind the pixel 9 And above. Meanwhile, they're just software updates, not hardware, so the pixel 8 pro can handle these. Just typical greed
updated everything and I didn't get shit. no emoji, no scall screening, no create stickers.
Me planning to get pixel 8 😅
Haven't gotten anything yet
Clear Voice Mode for YT videos 👍.
Delete music...
3 finger screenshot back!? if not then everything is pointless!
My Samsung has 1080 x 2340 pixels 😂
this upate make my bangking app keep force close.
All the people crying about 9 getting stuff 1st is funny and the fact they don't get stuff because they aren't in the US is funny
Most of the new features are more childish than useful
