The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8a now support Gemini Nano AI. This developer option enhances on-device AI functions, such as the Summarize feature in the Recorder app, which now includes speaker identification and the ability to export transcripts to text files or Google Docs. Additionally, these phones now offer Display Port Support, allowing them to connect to external displays via USB-C, making it easier to share content on larger screens.

A new Reverse Phone Number Lookup feature helps users identify unknown callers by leveraging Google Search. The camera has also received a significant upgrade with improved HDR+ functionality, which automatically selects the best moment from a photo to ensure perfect shots. Users can now manually select camera lenses on the Pixel 6 Pro, 7 Pro, 8 Pro, and Pixel Fold, providing more control over their photography.
