Google is rolling out a new update (Sounds 3.3) for Pixel devices, introducing 18 new nature-inspired ringtones, alerts, and alarms, along with visual redesigns and improved app interface, though the update is currently limited to newer Pixel models due to a Play Store bug.
Leaked ringtones suggest the upcoming Google Pixel 10 series will feature new sounds like 'The next adventure,' 'Kernel,' and 'Fresh Morning,' with the launch expected on August 13, alongside other device updates.
The Pixel 10's new ringtone 'The Next Adventure' along with notification and alarm sounds have leaked online ahead of the official launch, which is expected to be announced at a Google event in London on June 27. These sounds are already available for download and may be rolled out to older Pixel models as well.
Google is introducing a new collection of ringtones and alarm sounds called "Gems" in its Pixel-only Sounds app. The collection includes 26 new sounds with names like "Prism" and "Mineral Chimez," offering higher resolution and richer tones. While the update coincides with the launch of the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, the new sounds should be available for other Pixel devices as well. However, the popularity of customized ringtones has declined, with most users either sticking to default tones or keeping their phones on silent.
Google has introduced a new collection of ringtones, notification sounds, and alarm sounds called "Gems" for all Pixel phones. The update to the Pixel-exclusive Sounds app brings eight new phone ringtones, nine default notification sounds, and nine default alarm sounds. The Gems collection is now available on Pixel 7, 6, Tablet, and Fold devices, and is likely intended for the upcoming Pixel 8 and 8 Pro models.
Google has confirmed that it will add separate volume sliders for ringtones and notifications in a future Android build, fixing the current limitation of having only one slider for both functions. The update will allow users to silence incoming calls while keeping the notification volume up and vice-versa. The feature was previously spotted in an ADB command in Android 13 QPR2 beta 1, but is expected to be officially rolled out in Android 13 QPR3 or Android 14.
A compilation of ringtones created by Ryuichi Sakamoto for the Nokia 8800 model in the mid-2000s has been released by the YouTube channel Tech Product Bangers. The compilation includes well-known ringtones and alerts such as ‘Asian-chant’, ‘Duel’ and ‘N-choral’. Sakamoto, who passed away last week, was known as a composer and electronic pioneer with the Yellow Magic Orchestra.
