Indian users of Pixel devices are now receiving Google’s Pixel Feature Drop June 2024, which includes the most recent upgrade in a 0.97GB security update. For Pixel smartphones, Pixel Watch devices, and Pixel Tablets that are compatible, the update brings new functionality. Now accessible on the Pixel 8 and the newly released Pixel 8a, the Gemini Nano AI model was formerly exclusive to Google’s Pixel 8 Pro smartphone.
While announcing Pixel Feature Drop June 2024 the company said, “Our latest Feature Drop is here, and it’s packed with incredible new capabilities for your device, including Gemini Nano coming to Pixel 8 and Pixel 8a as a developer option, and Car Crash Detection to Pixel Watch 2, plus so much more. These features begin rolling out to devices today and will continue over the next few weeks.”
The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8a smartphones may now use advanced AI-enabled functions on-device thanks to the Gemini Nano, such as enabling the Recorder app’s Summarise function and exporting transcripts to a Google Docs file. Note that Pixel 8 and Pixel 8a users can access Gemini Nano as a developer option. You can enable developer options in your Pixel’s settings.
The ability to mirror content on a bigger screen, such as your computer monitor, providing you more room to watch your preferred films, TV series, and slides to an external display is also included with all new Pixel smartphone models; however, a compatible USB Type-C connector and display are needed.

Additionally included in the update are Best Take Expansion and Find My Device Offline Tracking. Users who misplace their smartphone can utilise the Find My Device network to find it even when it is turned off or has a dead battery, all while keeping your location data encrypted and private from Google. For a minimum of 23 hours, the feature—which calls for cell service or an internet connection—can assist customers in finding their device even in the absence of electricity.
With the Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7 Pro, and Pixel Fold cameras only—which have telephoto cameras—users may now choose the specific lens they wish to use when snapping pictures using the Pixel Camera app. With its Pro mode, the Pixel 8 Pro unveiled Lens Selection, a new option that gives consumers who dislike artificial crops with scaling more control and fewer digital stops when zooming in. Moreover, the Pixel camera can now automatically identify the best moment from your photo in HDR+ with just a single shutter press, so it’s easier to snap a photo where your face is in focus and smiling.
In India, the Pixel Watch 2 now has car crash detection; however, for it to function effectively, the Pixel Watch needs to be paired with a Pixel smartphone. Your wearable device can now make sure you’re alright in the event of a serious car crash. Emergency services will be immediately called if you require assistance or don’t respond. When you are in an accident, Car Crash Detection works with Emergency Sharing on your watch to provide your emergency contacts with a real-time location update. In order to better identify falls from bicycles, we have additionally enhanced Fall Detection.
