Google recently announced that the latest Pixel Weather application will be soon rolling out to older devices like Pixel 6-8 and Pixel tablets. The company’s recent flagship model Google Pixel 9 series launched the AI-powered Pixel Weather app. As put forward by the company all the models that run on the Android 15 software and have installed the latest updates will be eligible to receive this latest AI-powered weather app.
The existing Pixel users around the globe have gone wild regarding the recent announcement. The Pixel Weather app was very well received by the people as it aims to provide accurate weather reports. Compared to traditional weather reporting applications, Pixel Weather is a modernized version with interesting and innovative features. Generated by advanced AI technologies, the app lets the users arrange weather data blocks, track weather situations in multiple locations, and directly allows you to track weather on the map. One of the most interesting features of the app is that each location saved will have its own set of customizations.
The users are also given the chance to rearrange most of the elements in the app according to their preferences. Pixel Weather can be considered one of the most essential weather apps in the Google Play Store as it provides a comprehensive set of accurate weather-related information about the detected wind speed, precipitation, correct timings of sunrise and sunset, atmospheric and humidity pressures, and much more. The weather map feature of the app provides a six-hour-long precipitation forecast to the users. However, this particular feature is only available in the US, UK, Italy, Luxembourg, and some parts of Europe as of now. The users can create their own avatars and further personalize the whole app’s theme and weather units.
According to the sources, Pixel Weather has succeeded in generating background images of landmarks and buildings in over 300 cities in the world. Google stated that they wanted images of the city landmarks to be as subtle as possible by focusing on the data in the center. The classic frog mascot has been removed from this new app. As put forth by the company, the developing team had a tough time removing the frog mascot feature but had to go forward with the decision as the feature did not match the aesthetics of the new weather application. In a recent podcast, the company also has a feature that might appear very new to weather applications. This unique feature is said to add vibration to the animations on the Pixel Weather app. As of now, there have been no confirmations about this feature being live on the devices.
Google has taken a great initiative to introduce the modernized and improvised versions of the classic weather apps. Users with the series of Pixel 6, 7, 8, Pixel A series and Pixel tablets will be able to find the app in the Google Play Store. The company has taken this initiative to enhance and understand the interests of the existing as well as the new users. According to the new reports, the app has not received the desired rating from the users with Pixel 9 series.
They have found some glitches within the applications. However, the company has assured that the latest weather app will be essential in the long run and this might be assumed as the sole reason Google has decided to pass down the applications to the older Pixel models as well. When Pixel Weather was launched, various technological critics came up with many points to compare the new app with the Google Weather application. Now that the application is available to a larger group of Pixel users, the quality score of Pixel Weather can be evaluated in a much better way in the coming days.
