Google Pixel Buds will receive their first-ever 'feature drop' next month

In December last year, Google began rolling out "bigger updates" to its lineup of Pixel phones with feature drops. The first-ever feature drop brought a number of enhancements and new functionality to the Pixel 4 series phones, including automatic call screening, improved video calls on Duo, and the ability to blur the background in photos post-snap.

In an interview with Forbes, Sandeep Waraich, senior product manager for wearables at Google, confirmed that the Pixel Buds will receive a similar feature drop next month. Even though Waraich did not confirm a specific date, he did say that Google is aiming for late August.

When asked about the new features that the forthcoming update will bring to the Pixel Buds, Waraich said:

Our next release will have a combination of new features...and then we'll also have performance improvements in terms of more stability coming into the product. We are touching upon a lot of corner cases, where our product either is unstable or will have certain RF glitches or cutouts – we're improving that as well.

Waraich also explained that (/google-promises-fixes-pixel-buds-issues) affect all Bluetooth earphones, mainly due to Bluetooth interference. However, he did hint that the design of the Pixel Buds could be causing the stability issues "in some extreme environments."
