Google's Pixel phones get an update every month, but most are just security patches and bug fixes. The bigger changes are bundled into quarterly Pixel Drops, and one is rolling out today. The update brings a few new things, and many of the Gemini features previously exclusive to the latest Pixel phones will also expand to Google's Pixel 10 lineup.
The Pixel 11 was Google's first foray into "Gemini Intelligence" branding, something we'll see a lot more of going forward. Some of the features under that heading were limited to Google's newest phones (and in some cases, Samsung's phones). The November Pixel Drop will expand these AI features to the Pixel 10 lineup, but importantly, that doesn't include the budget-oriented Pixel 10a.
