Google's flagship line, the Pixels are getting a nice shot in the arm today with some more features.

- Long holding power gives you access to 'cards', whether it's your Google Pay card, a boarding pass or even an emergency contact info
- The 'air gestures' now let you 'tap' with your palm to pause / play music. I had guessed this was coming in the last review I had of the Pixel 4 as I commented that the gestures were pretty unexciting
- Dark theme is now 'schedule'able
- More emoji (*sarcastic yay*)
- Live Caption coming to as low as the Pixel 2
- AR effects in Duo
- Better selfies on the Pixel 4 with better 'depth' (I didn't really see any difference)
- Rules in the systems to set 'triggers' like Wifi, or location to do something specific (mute, set to vibrate, etc...)
Love it when a good phone gets better.
Not sure I'm going to probably use any of these... I preferred the Dark theme to be automatic based on my background ... and I'm still waiting for the day that TD will support Google Pay... c'mon, TD!!
