The presentation of the Google Pixel 5 did not leave anyone indifferent for various reasons, among which we find several limitations, as is the case of the change of processors to be in the mid-range or the non-arrival in Spain. However, if there is something in which Google is an expert, it is in software and that causes that some of the new features of the Pixel 5 are key for the future of Android 11.
Google has been showing us news for several years that are finally only integrated into the current Google Pixel and its previous generations, but this time its two most prominent changes could have a different ending. The company of the big G has integrated the extreme battery saving mode and hold for me as strengths of its new generation of Pixels, although it has also announced that they will reach other Google Pixels in the future and leaves the door open to others models by mentioning that this is a preliminary version that needs to be further improved to reach more people.
Hold for me or call waiting
This technology that lands on the Google Pixel has already been seen in previous Made by Google events together with Duplex technology. It is the same interaction system that can book an appointment at the hairdresser for us or at the dry cleaner, but this time with even greater utility. Its purpose is to respond to the waiting services that they attend us by phone, automatically identifying if it is a customer service person or it is a machine that is not giving conversation.
For now, it is a version in testing phase that will begin to be used in the United States and only in English, but its plans are to reach more regions and countries. It also wanted to make it clear that the use of artificial intelligence to maintain the conversation is focused on our smartphone and at no time does it travel via WiFi or mobile data to the servers, trying to provide security and privacy to users.
Extreme battery saving
Although the above function may be surprising and promising, there is a greater chance that this extreme battery saving mode appears among the new features of Android 11 . Mainly because other manufacturers like Huawei already integrate it into their mobile phones and adding it as a novelty would make Google not lose the horizon by rewarding the Google Pixel too much.
With this mode you could reach up to 48 hours of autonomy on the mobile , although that yes, will depend on each user and the use made. We must also bear in mind that the limitations with this mode will be greater, since the system settings are as follows:
- Most applications and notifications stop.
- The processing (CPU) of your phone slows down.
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work, but Wi-Fi and Bluetooth browsing is limited.
- Screen on time drops to 30 seconds.
- The work profile is deactivated.
- Any access point or connection sharing is stopped.
