Your Pixel devices are the companions that help you navigate your day, and with the latest Pixel Drop, they’re getting even better at it.

This update isn’t just about individual features – it’s about how they work together to make your life a little easier and more delightful. You’ll feel the difference all day as a fresh new look and smarter capabilities come to your phone, tablet, and earbuds.

A fresh start to your morning

Imagine waking up and reaching for a

phone that feels brand-new
. The September Pixel Drop introduces
Material 3 Expressive
, a major visual update that brings an all-new style to your Pixel 6 and newer, and Pixel Tablet. It’s more than just a new look – it’s a more fluid and personal experience that starts your day with a touch of delight. The new springy animations make every tap and swipe feel more responsive.

This update offers new ways to

personalize your Pixel
, like Live effects. These can transform your family photos or favorite landscapes into vibrant animations on your lock screen. Additionally, Live effects ensure that your chosen wallpaper image remains prominent even as notifications appear.

A Quick Settings redesign makes it simpler to organize and resize the controls you use most often without affecting readability. The refresh even extends to Google apps including Phone by Google, creating a personalized calling journey that reflects your own personal style.

A smoother, more connected commute

Soon, you’ll no longer need to juggle devices to stay connected during your commute. Imagine your phone rings while your hands are full with a laptop bag. With your

Pixel Buds Pro 2,
a simple nod answers the call. You can even reply to texts with a nod, a feature that will be supported in English first before expanding to other languages.

Asking Gemini Live a quick question
will soon work even better. Whether you're on a crowded train, a noisy bus, or stuck in traffic, the advanced audio processing in your earbuds – designed specifically to isolate your voice from other speakers – means Gemini will hear you with crystal clarity. It’ll tune out the conversations around you, so you get clear, uninterrupted interactions – and you won’t have to worry about your AI assistant not hearing you.

And, with Adaptive Audio, you can remain aware of your surroundings while

reducing distractions
. Instead of full noise cancellation, it intelligently lowers the volume of sustained noises around you. Loud Noise Protection automatically dampens sudden loud sounds – from wailing sirens to construction noise – to a comfortable level, protecting your hearing. You enjoy comfortable listening and stay safely connected to the world around you, without the jarring interruptions.

Making your Pixel smarter and more personal, all day long

Throughout your day, you’ll continue to notice how these updates work in harmony. The beautiful Material 3 Expressive design on your phone and tablet creates a cohesive and stylish look across your devices. The intelligence of your Pixel is always there, working in the background to make things just a little bit easier, whether it’s protecting your hearing, preserving your battery, or helping you stay connected without lifting a finger. And the hands-free controls on

Pixel Buds Pro 2
, like answering calls with a nod, make the experience reliable and intuitive.
