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

Pros

Enhanced video recording quality with Android 16
Less battery drain during high-quality video recording
More efficient storage for videos, including 4K
Consistent full-screen app experience due to edge-to-edge display enforcement

Cons

Does not support the new battery health monitoring feature
Updates provide refinements rather than groundbreaking changes

The Google Pixel 8 Pro benefits from significant video performance enhancements with the Android 16 update, enabling higher quality and more efficient recording with reduced battery drain and storage use. Additionally, the device will offer a more consistent full-screen experience for apps.

However, it does not gain the new battery health monitoring feature available on the Pixel 8a. Overall, the update is characterized more by refinements than by major groundbreaking changes.

“but it isn't supported on the Pixel 8 or the 8 Pro.”

“it's a little bit more refinement than anything groundbreaking”
