The call quality enhancer is available for those who download the Android 13 QPR1 (Quarterly Platform Release) beta 3 software update. According to the Android Authority, during Google's Pixel launch event earlier this month, the company also unveiled a few new software features coming to the handsets.

The Google Pixel 7 series might be the first 64-bit-only Android smartphone. In addition, several users reported that their new Pixel phones could not sideload certain apps, likely the 32-bit ones, citing sources, GizmoChina reported. However, the new Pixels are not running on a 64-bit-only version of Android.

According to XDA Developers, while testing the device, they noticed that its display consumes a lot of power as the brightness increases to maximum. It was found that the phone's battery dropped by 10 per cent after just 15 minutes of screen time, reports GizmoChina.

The Pixel Watch won't pair with iPhones because it requires phone with Android 8.0 or newer, Google Account and internet access, reports 9To5Google. The wearer can customise the watch face and info displayed on it. The exercise and daily heart rate will be linked with Fitbit including the notification support, the report said.

The Pixel Tablet comes with 'Material You' that helps to personalise it with a customised colour palette and new colour variants based on the wallpaper and lock screen, the company said in a blog post. The Pixel Tablet is equipped with the power of Tensor G2 chip that helps in advance image processing and machine learning. The new device will come with smooth and rounded corners.

According to GizmoChina, the news arrived from Vlad Savov, who sourced the information from an IDC report. The report mentioned that Google has managed to sell tens of millions of phones so far, and its 2022 flagship model, the Pixel 7, will push sales past the 30 million mark by over seven million units in a single year.

Powered by Google's next-generation Tensor G2 processor and shipping with Android 13, Pixel 7 is priced at Rs 59,999 and Pixel 7 Pro is priced at Rs 84,999 in the country. Both devices will be available for purchase starting October 13, said the company. The company said that limited-time launch offers for Google's Pixel 7 and Pixel & 7 Pro in India include Rs 6,000 cashback on Pixel 7 and Rs 8,500 Cashback on Pixel 7 Pro.

People can pre-order Google Pixel Watch online, with availability in nine countries, including US, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, France, Japan, Australia and Taiwan, starting October 13. Google Pixel Watch is available for $349 for Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, and $399 for 4G LTE, including six months of Fitbit Premium and three months of YouTube Music Premium (available in applicable markets).

The company said that with Assistant voice typing, users can easily talk to Google to type, edit and send messages on average 2.5x faster than typing on the keyboard, and now in more languages -- Spanish, Italian and French. When users are writing a message, Assistant voice typing can now suggest emojis relevant to their messages. It lets them search for the emoji to insert with their voice even without knowing its exact name.
