Apart from drag & drop text, all others look like CSS updates. Many of these were already on custom ROMs since android I
A bunch of cosmetic changes. This shouldn't be even called Android 13.1 Not to mention that Google calls it Android 14
What happened to the AI wallpapers that were supposed to be included? Can't find them anywhere…
预览版看别人说有应用克隆，结果没有，失望😔
Can't wait for ColorOS 14 (Android OS 14)
🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍
Is it possible to change the shortcuts to a more transparent look?
Google and Apple might as well fuse, maybe together they can do something a bit more substantial . Well , I really like refinement and I love products from both, those "features" already existing in smartphones for a long time now…..
They could make the ring around the front camera flash for notifications and show charging status. That would be cool I think, heck, call it ' Dynamic Ring' for all I care!
Will the Pixel 7 and 7 pro be getting pixel 8 camera features with OS upgrade ?
Mostly pointless updates as usual
Google are still morons
LoL "Android authority" and the dude on the tablet showing split screen is wearing an apple watch, not very encouraging…😂
Can anyone clarify if they are getting bit-perfect audio on android 14. I read that the new update has fixed this issue and not capped at 48khz anymore.
Ive been an android user since 2012 – unfortunately i keep seeing Android become more cartoonish rather than serious – and thats one of the separating factors between IOS & Android but this idea does not gain much talk , however , you see iterations from Xiaomi & Vivo try to mimic the seriousness of IOS through their themes. Sadly , Google's own pixel is very cartoonish
is ultra HDR a pixel only feature or android 14 feature? can pixel 7 or 6 or AOSP rom have this ?
Pov. my LG WING 5G
Still no native battery-health reading?
I am not getting haptic feedback for lockscreen shortcuts interaction 😢
Dont mean disrespect but Huawei had the split screen years before and runned just fine, hate how they cut off competition and gave us subpar improvements on android, and ios
Why don't I have Android 14 yet pixel 7 pro
The only essential update was splitting the volume for calls and notifications. It's a godsend.
the drag n drop was available in A13 for split screen, they made it available for full screen now
I find this update to be quite lackluster in terms of visual and feature changes (although i do love all the new features) there werent any major bugs from android 13 that really warranted this lack of featureset (like how android 13 was minor visually and cosmetically but fixed so much of android 12)
What about generative AI wallpapers? how to set them up?
The auto confirm pin is useless for when it comes for a 4 pin pass Google please fix this as an option
So nothing much 😮💨
This guy and I has different understanding of the word "essential".
And now I'm gonna wait several months till Samsung decides to upgrade the Galaxy S21 xD
😂 finally all stock android fanboys can praise the mighty Google OS that just got everything mentioned that one ui have for years, but you know boo hoo stock android ftw 😂😂😂 🎉🎉🎉. Welcome to half of what one ui can
TIL learned that UI changes and animations are "features".
Still waiting on m Tmobile Pixel 7…
👍🏾
I using the pixel 7 pro and the new lock screen animation is very laggy, anyone else notice that?
My phone is a not hot after installing this update
Yet we still have to press the arrow key after our passcode, well done Google 🙃
Hate it. Android animations are still choppy and jittery
in my version there is not auto-confirm pin. is it possible?
More like Android 13.5
Half of these changes are already implemented in Android 13 custom rom 😅. I just realised these are Android 14 features because i'm already experiencing these features in A13.
🥱us custom rom users been had all these features feels like Google is jacking the custom rom users 😂😂😂😂 I love android 🔥
Are pin entries animations really "essential" feature I need to know ?
Predictive back gestures only works with settings
Loving my pixel 6a on android 14.. I wish pixel fold comes in India, waiting to try Google's foldable
I have a galaxy a54 hopefully I am going to get it soon this month.
