What do you guys and gals think is the most underrated feature about both Android 12 and Pixel 6/Pro

The whole package of the software experience (It's simple, and now it's beautiful.) with the better hardware.

They added Rules , that i think been underrated feature but need to add more options to it .

Call screening and spam protection.

The icons on the notification bar indicating current time on call, and if your mic and cam are being accessed. There really is so much more that is software experience based that is taken for granted. I feel too much focus is given to cameras when a device is released.

One thing I still can't say I like are the big blocks on the notification bar when pulled down and the way you have to go into internet and click on wifi to toggle on/off. I prefer the old look and functionality. These are minor grievances though.

Hold for Me is my absolute favorite new feature. I hate being put on hold for an extended period of time.

Hold for me is not new to android 12 or Pixel 6! First released late 2020 (Sept?) on pixel 5 a couple months later for other pixels. I used it a lot beginning of the year.

Must be a pixel thing. My samsung doesn't have this option. What a great idea.

I may be wrong but hold for me might have been added to 12 for all phones.

I forget what it was called but Google grabbed the Rules idea from Motorola.

Needs more options though, did Motorola have more options?

Now playing is a pretty subtle feature, but nice to have as I'm always curious of a song playing that I've never heard. I like that you don't have to activate it to use it you literally wake up your phone and it instantly displays what is playing(I know it's listening for other things) but it is just better than using a 3rd party app to search what you're listening to.

I love that call screening has finally come to the UK. I love the big bold quick settings buttons. Is better for my hands and for my mum with poor eyesight it is brilliant as she can see what each button is for. I think the new Android 12 style is very accessible for more people.

I love the theming and how fast the 6 is. One app I used on my S10+ was so slow and now it fairly whips along on my 6 pro.

I like magic eraser and I like the screen quality on my 6 pro. Very premium phone and well worth £849.

I don't remember exactly how it worked but I do remember using it. Hopefully, Google will continue to develop Rules.

This is a definite plus.

Sounds awesome! I have Sound Hound on my LG but not convenient to fumble for it when I'm driving and something comes on the radio.
