Pixel series devices have gotten even better with one of the biggest updates by Google rolling out on Pixel 7 and 7 Pro and Pixel Watch. The new update brings safer web browsing through a VPN provided by Google One, clearer phone calls, new unified security, privacy settings, and more.
In 2013, Google launched Pixel series devices that run on either ChromeOS or the Android operating system depending on their build. The Pixel line includes smartphones, tablets, laptops, and several other accessories. In October this year, Google introduced the new Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, and Pixel Watch.
Here are all the new features on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, and Pixel Watch
Google’s new updates on the Pixel 7 series and Pixel Watch include the following features:
- VPN for safe surfing with no extra cost.
