In case you don’t know, Google just had its latest Made By Google event where it took the wraps off of the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, and Pixel Watch. The search giant also gave us some more information on the upcoming Pixel Tablet. The Pixel 7 phones bring similar dimensions to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. They both have the same screen resolutions and screen sizes. However, they differ when it comes to internals. Both phones are using Google’s second-generation tensor chip called the Tenser G2. It brings some performance improvements over last generation’s chips. Also, these phones come with Android 13 out of the box and some extra software goodies that you don’t find on the Pixel 6 phones.
Google brings new natural elements ringtones, notifications, and alarms
If you own a Pixel phone, then you should be familiar with the growing library of ringtones and other system sounds on the device. They provide a ton of options to help you customize your phone to your liking. With the announcement of the new Pixel 7 phones, Google unveiled some more options. These new ringtones and sounds are under the Natural Elements name. As the names suggest, they are meant to reflect the beauties of nature. All of the ringtones have names representing some aspect of nature including names like Cloud Drift, Log Drum, Dewdrop, Garden Breeze, etc. As you can imagine, they all have a “naturey” sound and feel to them. There are also new ringtones and new alarm tones. Each one has its own selection of 12 new and exclusive sounds with a natural aesthetic. These new Natural Elements ringtones, notification sounds, and alarms will come with the Pixel 7 out of the box. However, you can get it on older Pixels today. They are available on version 3.0 of the Sounds app. Make sure you find the Sounds app and update it to the latest version. You can do this by searching sounds on the Google Play store (making extra sure you found the legitimate Google Sounds app) and finding the green Update button. You can also go to your settings, find the Apps page, and search through the apps to find the Sounds app. Tap it, and go to the very bottom of the resulting page. Tap on the App Details button. This will take you to its Google Play Store page where you can update it if it’s available.
