FEATURE
The funny thing about owning a Google Pixel phone is that you never know what interesting new treasures might be making their way into your world at any given moment.
Most users never notice, but Google is constantly sending out software updates to its Pixel products – not just new Android versions but also underthe-hood Pixel-specific feature rollouts along with platform-wide Android improvements provided through a variety of Play-Store-based system-level components.
It's one of Android's most interesting advantages over iOS, even if Google doesn't do much in terms of making ordinary people aware of it.
If you don't have a Pixel, don't worry: with just a couple exceptions, most of the items here are also available (or available in some comparable form, potentially with a quick app install) on other Android devices as well. I'll point that out as we make our way through the list.
1. READING MODE
Your Pixel phone's Reading Mode is hands-down one of the most useful Android features you probably aren't using. At some point along the way, Google added in a handy hidden shortcut to make it even easier to access anytime the urge strikes.
