After several days of release of Android 8.1 developer preview, many new features have been found and the the list is too long. However, there are almost UI changes and improvements rather than new features. So, here are the top 10 of all those new things. This writing is by Rachit Agarwal of Beebom . Here it is without any further due. 1. Automatic Light and Dark Themes Probably my favourite feature that is coming with the new 8.1 update is the support for automatic light and dark theme. The feature was launched with Pixel 2 which automatically changed the theme on the device depending on the type of wallpaper someone is using. For example, if you are using a light wallpaper, your phone will display the light theme, but if you change to a dark wallpaper, the theme also will automatically switch to a dark mode. I think the below pictures explain this better than my words can. If you love dark mode, you are going to love this update. 2. Battery Levels For Bluetooth Connec

It has been some while since the release of the Pixel 2 with some great features and functionality. Yes, the headlining feature is definately its incredible camera. It has the highest rating for camera ever in any smartphone out right now. And the company is not leaving anyway to show off. Now, a Google employee has shared a Google photos album containing some......emmm.....not some but many photos taken on the Pixel 2 containing all landscape, low-light, portrait mode, motion photos (is it the right name?), etc. And really all they look super impressive.

The Google event was just great with the entrance of some new hardware products in the family of Google. But the product people want to see was the Google Pixel 2. Yes, the phone has announced and to me, it is looking very great. I wanted to share my thoughts with you and so here I am. Let's start the discussion now. Design Hmmmm... There are mixed feelings for the design in my mind. The back of the phone is not the best in my opinion but really had improved a lot. There is a camera bump now and the fingerprint reader is now not the glass piece but below it. At the front, Pixel 2 has even larger looking bezels than the first generation. The Pixel 2 XL has less bezels but still doesn't look like a 2017 flagship. Camera The first generation Pixel has the one of the best camera ever in a smartphone. With this new generation, it has now improved a lot with the highest camera rating of 98 as compared to last year's rating of 89. Also, Google has done the wo
