Pixel phones getting new icon styles, Create My Widget, and more in November Pixel Drop
The November Pixel Drop will expand these AI features to the Pixel 10 lineup, but importantly, that doesn't include the budget-oriented Pixel 10a.
Key points
- Google's Pixel phones get an update every month, but most are just security patches and bug fixes.
- For starters, the Pixel 10 series will get the improved personalized suggestions (previously known as Magic Cue) that debuted on the Pixel 11.
- Some of the features under that heading were limited to Google's newest phones (and in some cases, Samsung's phones).
The update brings a few new things, and many of the Gemini features previously exclusive to the latest Pixel phones will also expand to Google's Pixel 10 lineup.
The Pixel 11 was Google's first foray into "Gemini Intelligence" branding, something we'll see a lot more of going forward.
Additional details
- The bigger changes are bundled into quarterly Pixel Drops, and one is rolling out today.
- Rambler, Google's AI-assisted voice input system, is also coming to the 2025 phones.
- Likewise, Gemini app automation will roll out on Pixel 10 with this update.
- This enables things like sending grocery lists to Google Keep from other apps and generating summaries from the context menu.
- This feature is still limited to select apps in rideshare, food delivery, travel, and a few other categories.
