Google Pixel November big update! New functions and supported models can be understood in one table

Google Pixel phones receive a major feature update in November! This Pixel Drop not only makes Gemini AI smarter, but also further enhances many existing functions. Some functions have been expanded to support older Pixel phones. You don’t have to buy a new phone to enjoy the upgraded experience.

Google announced that Pixel Drop has begun to be rolled out in November and is expected to continue to be available in the next few weeks. Users who have not received the update can wait a little longer, or go to the phone settings to manually check if there is an update.

One of the highlights of this update is that Google has transferred the Gemini Intelligence smart function to the Pixel 10 series, bringing Rambler voice retouching, AI proactive suggestions and other functions. For example, when using Rambler for voice input, AI will automatically delete mantras such as "um" and "ah" and organize the spoken content into smooth text, eliminating the trouble of manual modification. Gemini can also proactively provide life suggestions. For example, when a friend asks when to arrive, the phone can suggest sharing the estimated arrival time with one click.

In addition, Gemini can also assist in completing multi-step tasks such as ordering food, hailing a taxi, and making restaurant reservations. However, the areas expanded this time are Japan, the United Kingdom, and India, and Taiwan has not yet been included in the support list.

As for the Pixel 11 series, the HiLight lighting reminder function originally provided by the Pro series now further supports Google messages. When the phone screen is placed face down, if you receive a message from an important contact, you can be reminded through the light. You don't have to keep picking up the phone to check it, and you don't have to worry about missing important notifications.

Pixel Watch smart watches are also getting upgraded. Google has added a mobile phone-linked unlocking function. When Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5 are worn on the wrist, as long as the specified Pixel phone nearby is unlocked, the watch will also automatically unlock, eliminating the trouble of repeatedly entering passwords. However, this feature only supports designated devices with UWB ultra-wideband technology and is expected to be launched in the next few weeks.
