Android 14 QPR1 With Many Useful Features Is Now Available For All Supported Pixel Devices:
With the Android 14 QPR1, a new feature now allows users to set a specific aspect ratio on Pixel Tablet and Fold. On the tablet, choosing Full screen, Half screen, and 16:9 screen resolution is possible. But Google is releasing this feature as an experimental addition to the operating system, which you can access in Settings > Apps > Aspect Ration or from the App Info menu.
Additionally, you can find the Manufacture date and Cycle count of your phone. For that, head over to Settings > About Phone > Battery Information. Moreover, a new “Metro” lock screen clock is also available.
Furthermore, there is another small tweak related to the Wallpaper & style in the Android 14 QPR1 software update. When enabled, it introduces a new particle effect matching the changing background. In addition, Pixel Launcher in Search preferences now appears as a more prominent shortcut.
Another notable improvement pertains to Quick Settings, more specifically to the Tiles function. For instance, on the Pixel tablet, you will see a more clearly noticeable toast message every time your fingerprint isn’t recognized.
Lastly, the Android 14 QPR1 shows the weather for your cities on the Clock app.
