The Android 14 update on both phones weighs around 2.65GB in size. Yes, it requires a big chunk of data for downloading. In terms of changes, the Android 14 update comes with features like a better way to track health data, more control over privacy, Monochrome themes, flash notifications, use your phone as a webcam, a new battery settings page, even bigger fonts, improved privacy, and more.
Apart from these changes, the update bumps up the monthly security patch version to February 2024. Here’s the complete changelog coming with the update.
- Android 14’s updated customization picker makes it easier to switch between wallpapers and update what you want to see at a glance. You can now set custom lock screen shortcuts, like QR reader or the Google Home app, so you have quick, one-tap access to your most used controls directly from your Android lock screen.
- Choose from a set of new, curated lock screen templates for fonts, widgets, colors and formats that best match your style. These options also use AI to adjust your screen based on your situation. For example, if the weather is suddenly taking a turn for the worse, your lock screen weather widget will become more prominent.
- Android 14 also lets you show off your most creative and artistic self — no art skills required. Coming first to Pixel 8/8 Pro, generative AI wallpapers use AI-generated text-to-image diffusion models to help you create wallpapers that match your vision. You can choose from pre-set suggestions to create never-before-seen wallpapers in just a few taps.
- If you prefer a less colorful phone aesthetic that is easy on the eyes, Android 14 includes a monochromatic theme that makes minimal colors look sleek and beautiful across your entire device.
- Android is also helping to improve your photo and camera quality. Building on Android 13’s support for high dynamic range (HDR) video, Android 14 supports HDR images with Ultra HDR. Ultra HDR helps your photos look their best by bringing out vibrant colors, brighter highlights and darker shadows. Plus, thanks to the great HDR screens available on many of today’s phones, Ultra HDR takes and displays high-definition photos without altering the original quality of the image.
If you own the Nokia G60 or X30, then you can now upgrade your smartphone to Android 14. As I said earlier, the update is currently in a rolling phase and will be available to everyone soon. You will receive the OTA notification once the update is available on your device.
You can check for the update in Settings > About Phone > Software Update > check for the new updates. Once the update is available, create a backup and charge your phone to at least 50% before updating the device.
