If you have a Pixel 4 and expected Pixel 5 to have Google’s Project Soli air-gesture system, you’ll be disappointed, as that feature, along with the face unlock system, has been scrapped. On another note, it does ship with Android 11, three years of updates and monthly security updates like its predecessors. Google Assistant is now capable of waiting on hold while you call a business, that way you can go about your business when put on hold and it sends an alert when a human picks up.

Now, with a preview of Hold for Me on Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 in the U.S., Google Assistant can wait on the line for you whenever you call a toll-free number and a business puts you on hold. Built on the smarts of Duplex and Call Screen, this new feature lets you go back to enjoying the things that matter to you, and Google Assistant will notify you once someone is on the line and ready to talk. And Hold for Me works on your device, so the entire call is private to you. Goodbye endless hold music, hello more free time,” said the company in a press release.
