TL;DR
- Google’s gradual October Pixel Drop rollout has now stretched effectively into November.
- My Pixel 8 Professional simply obtained the brand new Pixel Climate app at this time.
- The app incorporates a new UI however continues to be lacking a key characteristic.
Options from the newest October Pixel Drop have been gradual to achieve everybody. Google rolled out the replace alongside the steady Android 15 launch on October 15, and like me, many people with older Pixel telephones have waited for weeks now to get all the brand new Pixel Drop goodies. Nevertheless, at this time, I’m completely satisfied to report that Google has lastly rolled out the brand new Pixel Climate app on my Pixel 8 Professional.
I dwell in India and have been checking for the brand new Climate app for days now. As we speak, magically, the app began showing as an accessible obtain on the Play Retailer for my Pixel 8 Professional. No less than for me, the rollout is sort of a month after Google promised to convey the app to older Pixels. Higher late than by no means, I suppose.
Though my Pixel 8 Professional is operating the up to date Pixel Climate app with its new interface, it nonetheless lacks the AI-powered climate abstract characteristic. I’m not sure whether or not this characteristic is unique to the Pixel 9 sequence or if it’s merely unavailable in my area. Technically, the Pixel 8 Professional ought to be able to supporting the characteristic, because it contains Google’s Gemini Nano AI mannequin, which powers the AI Climate Report within the Pixel Climate app.
Aside from the AI Climate Report characteristic, Pixel Climate on my Pixel 8 Professional additionally lacks the brand new immersive vibrations characteristic. For what it’s price, the latter is a reasonably new characteristic and is probably not coming to all older Pixel telephones. We’ll have to attend and watch.
In case you’ve been eagerly ready to strive the Pixel Climate app like me, it’s price rechecking the Play Retailer. A colleague of mine acquired it simply final week, so it’s potential the app is now accessible for you as effectively. Google had deliberate to roll it out to Pixel 6, 7, and eight sequence gadgets, so if in case you have an older mannequin, you gained’t be getting the app.
