So far I can see in QPR2 and QPR3 betas:

- Proactive Assistance only on Pixel 10

- Pixel Search on Pixels 10 9 8 7

- Rambler as it is available right now via porting Pixel 11 APK file on Pixel 10

Things like Magic Capture, Looks Filters, 120x ProRes zoom, 4K60 HDR never will be ported to older Pixels because new Pixel 11 hardware camera ISP.

My logic says Ramber will come to older Pixels BUT only as a "slow online" version as it is noting else then Gemini is doing right now (compressing text)

I believe Proactive Assistance will be only Pixel 10 and 11 as been told by Google it requires Gemini Nano v3 minimum that only Pixel 10 has.

Media Live Translate might be possible on Pixel 10 but might not be with Expressive Voice

I critique Google a lot - BUT... I watched THIS

My apologies I teach Google how to use their own Google Calendar but it is OCTOBER.

Their website says - "software updates start rolling out in September."

So is it NOT rolling just.... t-rolling

Does anyone got it as as promised by Google as it is nearly October?

Samsung does own Exynos (chip and modem) junk for Europe and superior Qualcomm chip (and modem) for USA.

Does Apple the same?

My Pixel 10 is failing - like Magic Cue stuck at "sign in to Google account" where I did crazy things to restore it with guys from reddit like account removal clear STORAGE for many system apps, then Play Services apps updates disappeared, now some notifications not showing up.

I was thinking to do Factory Reset but I believe it is better to update first (especially when it will be such a big update) and finally I was thinking to enable 16KB mode and then click on Factory Reset.

What do you think about it?

Is 16KB mode final/stable in QPR1?

Is it fixed because in Pixel 10 not

It seems you just release new versions (completely different) firmware betas but no final firmware.

Last firmware June Anno Domini 2025.

And I know you will tell me this - NO I do not want to be lab rat and install beta firmware

I have far too many questions about it.

Like will we be able to replace battery like in Pixel Watch 4 and 5 with screwdriver (I guess YES because EU will ban it if not)

How far it will go to be... Pixel Watch - I mean like will it have Google Maps or ALL Personal Safety features and phone calls receive (which current Charge 6 does not have).

IF it will be just Pixel Watch 5 without WiFi and Crown - then it will be just "square Pixel Watch" anyway.

Additionally I like Crown removal to save money.

So - WearOS which means ALL Personal Safety and Health features, phone call receive, Google Maps and... HALF PRICE of Pixel Watch 5 and I am SOLD to this device - I do NOT need computer on wrist nor Gemini which I have in Pixel phone.

Finally - I HOPE it will NOT be like Google Home Speaker which is basically THE SAME device as Nest Hub or Nest Audio or even DOWNGRADE. So I hope it will NOT be like old FitBit Charge 6 with tiny bit bigger screen and tiny bigger battery life

Judging on yesterday's Pixel 11 Security Update release which brought Cross Device support for Googlebooks which is NOT ready for any other Pixel nor other Android Phone and there is Googlebook Lunch Event 15 September.

Apple will gonna show in half an hour Google how to USE THE LIGHT.

Please define me THE update.

For this guy and many others update means new icons and different colour in UI.

For me update is... new Kernel - like v6.12 in QPR2 or new GPU drivers for PowerVR GPU in Pixel 10 that brought MASSIVE 20% speed increase.

I unable to find such a thing in youtube.

I do NOT care about "chat bot" I care for things like Call Screen in Galaxy AI sounds like "robot" and which things are offline and how they work like Pixel has AICore app and Android Intelligence app.

Google Rambler, voice recognition.

Then Features like At A Glance - Personal Assistance - first-part and third party apps connection.

Overall speed - humanoid voice quality.

And finally Global ability (not just features that are present in USA only) but Europe too.

I am posting this here as GeminiAI says Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters.

All I know about Kernel update it is the BIGGEST thing in Android because ALL possible drivers needs to be updated for things like GPU, CPU as well even for stupid ISP and probably for screen too.

I also know that Carl Pei from Nothing gave the reason older Nothing Phones not getting new Android because of ONE THING - Kernel - my guess is he cannot afford for... Kernel update - this is how much it cost
