A new color for Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, plus new features for the Pixel portfolio have arrived.

tl;dr:

  • body temperature measurement with the Thermometer app on the Pixel 8 Pro;
  • Circle to Search rolling out on Jan 31, apparently only on the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro;
  • Magic Compose: lets you rewrite your draft messages in different styles using generative AI, apparently available on Pixel 6 and later (but can only be offline on Pixel 8 Pro?);
  • Photomoji: use photos as emoji reactions on Google Messages after automatic background removal;
  • Quick Share, see the CES 2024 blog post;
  • Audio Switch now supporting the Pixel Watch.

And yes, they really added a new Mint color now for the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro:

    I got black. Because I wanted the regular pixel 8. But I would have gone with blue had it been available.
