Evolving with updates!

Google has delivered a major update to its Pixel series of smartphones, which are known for their powerful software. The Pixel 4 has just announced its second Feature Drops this month, revealing three new features.

Improved accuracy of Face Unlock

Pixel 4's face recognition (Face Unlock) seems to be well received for being responsive and easy to use, but with the new update, the face registered as the base It has been announced that the photos will actually be updated automatically and regularly. With Face Unlock, every time Pixel 4 authenticates your face, you can even take a picture of your face with the camera in the first place. That's what it means.

Pixel 4 update again! More secure! And easy to use...

Actually, I'm not sure how often it will be updated, but if you think about it, people's faces change over time. Before I knew it, my face looked like a different person than when I registered, and I couldn't unlock my smartphone. Such a tragedy will disappear, and it seems that it will avoid the stress of gradually declining recognition accuracy.

In addition, there are still requests for improvements such as being able to Face Unlock even when the eyes are closed or sleeping, and not being able to register the second face photo that is the base. It seems that the update is not supported.

Improved positioning accuracy of location information

With this Feature Drops, dual wavelength GNSS positioning is now possible. Generally in North America, signals from GPS satellites are used in the global positioning system (GNSS), and positioning is possible by simultaneously receiving two wavelength signals from each satellite. It is explained that this will further improve the measurement accuracy of the current position. When you use a map navigation app such as Google Maps, you will benefit from it.

eSIM Support

Unfortunately, it's limited to T-Mobile users in North America, but the new Pixel 4 has added eSIM support. If you subscribe to a plan, you can start using it immediately without having to wait for the arrival of the SIM card. It is possible to use dual SIM with this eSIM and conventional nanoSIM with different carriers.

Thus, even after purchase, Pixel series smartphones continue to receive major updates. It seems that it will be attractive enough to expand the number of users.
