Google Pixel 2023 三月新功能

這次 Google 針對 Pixel 系列手機的例行性更新比預期的晚了一個禮拜，到了今天才收到。

而這次也是繼去年十二月的更新後，Android 13 的第二次功能性更新。更新完後的版本主要是 TQ2A.230305.008.C1，某些機種、區域會有特別的版號，這邊就不列了。

由於這次更新的東西、修正的錯誤比較多，所以更新檔案也變大了；以 Heresy 的 Pixel 4a 來說，更新檔案有 227 MB。

新功能的部分，官方的公告是《New for Pixel: Fall Detection, faster Night Sight and more》和《More smarts and safety for the Pixel family are here》；另外也可以參考《March 2023 Pixel Feature Drop: Hands-on with all the new additions [Video]》。

而各款手機的功能，則可以參考下表：

	Pixel 4a Pixel 4a 5G Pixel 5 Pixel 5a 5G	Pixel 6 Pixel 6 Pro	Pixel 6a	Pixel 7 Pixel 7 Pro
Health Connect	o	o	o	o
跨裝置計時器	o	o	o	o
多 eSIM				o
更快速的夜拍		o		o
魔術橡皮擦	o	o	o	o
Direct My Call	o	o	o	o
Hold For Me	o	o	o	o

下面這邊則是簡單說明一下這些功能：

• Health Connect 這款 app（Google Play、官網）在 Pixel 上改成內建的形式。
  這款 App 是用來讓多方的健康軟體串聯資料用的，但是很可惜像是 Garmin 還是不支援。

• 跨裝置顯示計時器。
  可以在 Nest 之類的裝置上設定計時器，然後在 Pixel 手機上的資訊一覽也會看到對應的訊息。

• 在 Pixel 7 / 7 Pro 提供啟用雙 eSIM 的功能。

• 在 Pixel 6 / 6 Pro 上提供更快的夜拍功能。
  本來是 Pixel 7 / 7 Pro 的特色，現在下放到 6 系列；不過目前還是 Google Tensor 專用功能。

• 讓更多的 Pixel 裝置使用魔術橡皮擦。
  透過 Google Photos 更新提供，可以參考之前的《Android Pixel 6 的「魔術橡皮擦」下放了》。

• Direct My Call / Hold For Me。
  沒理解錯的話，都是針對電話語音系統的功能，現在下放到 Pixel 4a 以後的手機；但是由於這些功能有區域／語言限制，目前和台灣無緣。

考慮到真正有用的魔術橡皮擦其實之前已經透過 App 更新了…老實說，這次的功能更新感覺對大部分較舊機種的使用者來說，可能用處也不大了？
