Pixel Owners: Unlock Hidden Features for Smoother Experiences

Google Pixel smartphones have been praised for their clean user interface and seamless Android updates. However, many users may not be aware of the unique features available on their devices.

One such feature is the ability to enable a 120Hz display, which can make scrolling and gaming experiences smoother. This feature is available on all Pixel 10 models, including the budget-oriented Pixel 10a, but must be enabled manually by going to Settings > Display & touch and turning on the 'Smooth display' toggle.

Another useful feature is Now Playing, which automatically detects music playing around you and displays the song's details on your lock screen. This feature has been available since 2017 and can be enabled in Settings > Sound and vibration > Now Playing by checking the 'Identify songs playing nearby' toggle.

In addition to these features, users can also enable Automatic Call Screening, which uses Google Assistant to handle unknown calls and detect potential scams. To enable this feature, go to Settings > Spam and Call Screen > Call Screen and turn on the 'Automatically screen calls' option.
