- Das Dezember-Updates ist riesig.
- Die Pixel-Telefone profitieren von fleißigen Entwicklern.
- Es gibt Verbesserungen in jedem Bereich.
Tatsächlich sieht der Feature-Drop für die Pixel-Smartphones ziemlich alt gegen das aus, was das Dezember-Sicherheitspatch zu bieten hat. Google hat einen Changelog veröffentlicht, den wir so wahrscheinlich noch nie gesehen haben. Knapp über 80 (!!!) Bugfixes und anderweitige Verbesserungen rollen die Entwickler für die Google-Telefone ab Pixel 3a aus. Hammer!
Inbegriffen sind Verbesserungen für die Bedienoberfläche, es gibt einen neuen Kernel, die biometrischen Funktionen werden optimiert und auch für Audio, Akku, Bluetooth, Kamera, Display/Grafik, WLAN, diverse Sensoren, Framework und Netzwerk gibt es Optimierungen.
Anhand der eingeklammerten Nummern seht ihr, für welche Geräte die jeweiligen Punkte bestimmt sind. Die notwendige Liste ist am Ende des Beitrags zu finden. Noch zu erwähnen ist, dass das Update zuerst für Pixel 3a – 5 kommt und erst etwas später für die Pixel 6-Serie.

Jetzt müsste Google nur noch eine ordentliche Face unlock Funktion zum Pixel 6/Pro nachreichen..Denn der Fingerabdruck ist immer noch etwas zu lahm..Ansonsten hört sich das echt super an..Bin mal gespannt wie sich die Pixel Reihe weiter entwickelt. Für mich macht Google hier alles richtig..
Schnelligkeit des Fingerprint hin oder her, aber geht dem niemandem auf den Sack, dass der so oft überhaupt nicht als entsperrmethode verfügbar ist?
Jeden Morgen und völlig unwillkürlich mehrfach über den Tag zeigt das Gerät „manuell gesperrt“ an und muss via Muster/Pin entsperrt werden.
Fingerprint überhaupt nicht aktiv.
Ich komm vom Pixel 4, davor das 2er und meine Frau hat das 3er. Nirgends muss man ständig trotz Biometrie das Muster nutzen außer nach dem reboot. Ich muss das beim 6er öfter nutzen als beim 4er mit Maske tragen 😡😡
