Google's Pixelsnap Chargers are about to get smarter! Just like the latest tech gadgets, these chargers will receive firmware updates, as hinted by the recent Pixel Stand app update.
But what does this mean for users?
In this APK Insight, we've delved into the latest version of Google's app, uncovering potential future features. By examining the code, we've discovered that the Pixel 10 series' Pixel Stand app is preparing for Pixelsnap firmware updates. This update includes strings suggesting users will soon be able to view their charger's firmware version, a feature not currently available.
Here's the catch:
The update is rolling out, but the firmware information is not yet visible. It's likely to appear in the Settings menu under Connected devices, providing users with more control and insight into their charger's functionality. However, the timing of these updates is unclear. Google might have been releasing firmware updates since the Pixelsnap's launch, or this upcoming update could be the first.
And this is where it gets interesting:
Google's approach mirrors Apple's MagSafe Chargers, which also receive background updates. However, Apple provides users with the firmware version information, while Google has yet to implement this feature. This raises questions about transparency and user control over device updates.
So, are you excited about the prospect of firmware updates for your Pixelsnap Charger? Or do you think this level of control should be left to the manufacturers? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
