Android 16 is HERE! | EVERYTHING you NEED to know (+ June Pixel Drop)

Pros

Performance benefits from an advanced video codec for higher quality and efficient video recording.
The screen experience is enhanced with more apps utilizing full edge-to-edge display.
The Recorder app now provides AI-generated summaries in French and German.

Cons

The Pixel 8 does not support the new battery health monitoring feature.

The Google Pixel 8 receives several refinements with the Android 16 update, particularly enhancing video recording capabilities through an advanced codec that improves quality and efficiency. The display experience is also improved as more applications will utilize a full-screen, edge-to-edge interface. However, a significant drawback is the absence of the new battery health monitoring feature, which is not supported on this model. Overall, the update brings welcomed functional improvements but is characterized more by refinements than groundbreaking new features.
