Android Pie for Google Pixel devices

Google Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones were among the first devices to get Pie, which was always been the case with the company’s new operating system. Nexus 6P and Nexus 5 have not received Android Pie given the devices are almost two years old. Android Pie update for Pixel phones is around 1173.0 MB in size so users are recommended to download it on a stable WiFi connection.

Android Pie for Essential PH-1

Google Pixel devices were followed by Andy Rubin’s Essential PH-1 when it comes to Android Pie update. The phone was updated to Pie on the same day it was released. Essential PH-1 was launched early last year. It sports a waterdrop design notched display and dual rear cameras.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a big part of Android Pie, which will power user experience on the OS. Perhaps, the biggest change with the OS is the Dashboard feature that lets users keep a tab of how much time they spend on their phone, including details like how many times they unlock it, how many times they look at notifications, and more. Then there’s ‘App Time’ that lets users set a limit on how they should use a particular app as well as a revamped DND mode.

Android Pie also includes ‘Adaptive battery’ feature that takes advantage of the company’s DeepMind to better optimise battery life. Another highlight of this operating system is new gestures for navigating smartphones.
