- During the Pixel 9 series launch, Google referred to the Pixel Feature Drops as Pixel Drops.
- The Pixel 9 series will receive seven years of Pixel Drops, including OS and security updates.
- Unlike previous years, the Pixel 9 series will ship with Android 14 instead of the latest Android 15.
The 2024 Pixel launch event has come and gone, leaving a trail of new devices and announcements in its wake. Among the redesigned Pixel 9 series, new Pixel smartwatches, and Pixel earbuds, a subtle yet noteworthy change slipped through: the renaming of Pixel Feature Drops to simply “Pixel Drops.”
For those new to the term, Pixel Drops — formerly known as Pixel Feature Drops — are a cornerstone of the Pixel ecosystem. These are frequent software updates that enhance the functionality of Pixel phones, watches, and earbuds. They can sometimes introduce new features and, at other times, optimize existing functionalities to improve the Pixel experience.
