Google just launched Android 16 on June 10, rolling out first to Pixel phones. This fastest-ever Android update brings smarter security, smoother design, and tools that help drivers, delivery trackers, and hearing aid users. Other brands (Samsung, OnePlus, etc.) get it later.
“As a tech reviewer for 5 years, I’ve tested early builds. The Live Notifications are a driver’s dream – no more opening apps while riding! Just glance at your lock screen to see your Uber/Ola status. Safety first!”
