Google has announced a "Mint" color for the Pixel 8 series (only available from the Google Store with 128GB storage), alongside a new Pixel Feature Drop for January 2024! This Feature Drop is a bit unusual since it isn't accompanied by a new QPR update, but it does bring some interesting features.
For example, the Pixel 8 Pro's Thermometer app is finally getting the ability to measure body temperature! This means the FDA has authorized the Pixel Thermometer to take body temperature readings. Any temperature results you take can be synced to your Fitbit account.
Both Pixel Watch models now support automatic audio switching, which means your Pixel Buds Pro can seamlessly switch from a Pixel Tablet to your paired Pixel phone.
Also, Quick Share (the revamped/rebranded version of Google's Nearby Share) should be rolling out soon, so you can look forward to that.
A more exciting development is the rollout of the Circle to Search feature Google announced at Galaxy Unpacked. Google reiterates that they'll roll this out to the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro on January 31, but it's also already available on the Galaxy S24 series. (I shared a method with my Patreon/X subscribers to enable this feature on other Pixel devices right now, but it requires root to spoof the Pixel 8.)
Lastly, Google is starting to more widely roll out the Photomoji and Magic Compose features in the Google Messages app for Pixel users. Photomoji lets you turn any photo into a custom reaction or sticker, while Magic Compose helps you rewrite messages in different styles using generative AI.
Photomoji is available for the Pixel 3a and later, while Magic Compose is only available for the Pixel 6 and later (processing happens on-device in the case of the Pixel 8 Pro).

Galaxy S24 系列新搭载的 Exynos 2400 测试成绩逐渐出炉
据测试人 Golden Reviewer 整理的测试图表，Exynos 2400 所搭载的 GPU Xclipse 940 在传统 GPU 性能测试中性能略输骁龙 8 Gen 3，功耗相当（换算能效略输 10%-15%），但在光线追踪项目测试中与 8 Gen 3 相当。
CPU 部分全新的 10 核 (1+2+3+4) 设计在测试中成绩喜人，但 10 核全开的功耗十分恐怖，甚至跑出了 23W 的峰值功耗。更多 CPU 测试子项成绩将陆续出炉，但可以预见 Exynos 2400 的功耗应该不会太好看，主要看中低频的表现如何了。

Nothing 手机可以从主屏幕快速与 ChatGPT 语音对话
Nothing 手机创始人裴宇1月28日在 X 上发布了一条有趣的提示。使用 Nothing OS 快捷设置小部件可以从主屏幕快速访问 ChatGPT 的语音对话。要使用此功能，需从 Play 商店安装 ChatGPT 应用，并确保至少使用一次语音聊天功能。然后将 ChatGPT 语音的“快捷选项”直接到添加主屏幕。

#系统资讯 #安卓 Android 15 前瞻：谷歌正在开发新的 PDF 库，替代之前的垃圾版本。
查看全文：https://ourl.co/102093
此前安卓自带的 PDF 功能会将 PDF 渲染为图片再以页面呈现，这导致可读性变得极差。
现在谷歌准备开发一个新的库了，这样用户也可以选择文字复制或朗读等。

第一次来 Googleplex 里新开的这一家 Google Store 参观。
除了全系 Google 硬件都有售卖，还有很多第三方合作的配件，以及 Google Fi 实体卡😊
