Android 16 brought a new feature to many Pixel phones called "Battery health." Think of this as a one-stop dashboard that provides quick-glance access to critical information about your battery. As noted by 9to5Google, Battery Health provides a quick overview of your battery's condition on select Pixel phones running Android 16. This overview includes a visual indicator to show whether your battery is running normally, the charging type you selected (more on that below), and how much capacity your battery has left.

Google introduced support for the ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless protocol with the Pixel 6 Pro in 2021. But if you've been struggling to get your Pixel phone to precisely locate one of the few Android-compatible trackers that support UWB, it's because that feature is only enabled on the Pro models of the Pixel 8 and above, Google confirmed to Android Authority.

Pixel's Battery Saver modes are essential when you need your phone to last as long as possible at a moment's notice. Standard Battery Saver is nice in that it immediately limits background activity, switches on Dark theme, and reduces visual effects that can tax a battery. The real superhero is Extreme Battery Saver, going even further by pausing most apps and notifications to extend your battery for days if needed.

But while all of that stuff can certainly add up to make a meaningful difference, the best parts of a Pixel tend to be the smaller touches that often aren't heavily promoted in ads or events. And best of all? Most of those features tend to make their way down to most existing Pixel models - not only the newest, shiniest options.
