The artwork for whatever song youre listening to is the Lock Screen saver, this feature was last seen on the Galaxy S5.

headphone jack
the ability to control your tv cause it had infra red or some shyt. note 4 and below had that.
eye tracking. instead of scrolling down by swiping keyboard, it just followed your eyes.
I don't miss headphone jack and it only becomes an issue on planes because of bud battery life. But, the tv control I agree. I still can because pixel communicates with GoogleTV pretty perfectly but it should be a very blanket feature.

Maybe Samsung flexed on Google to exclusify that feature, because it was on my Nexus or Pixel previously. I thought it was a base android feature
Just looked it up and apparently the pixel also has splitscreen.

"Important: If you have a Pixel 2 or Pixel (2016)"

Picture in picture works for apps that also allow it like YouTube, and Xfinity, but split screen doesn't not on modern pixel

On Android 12 or 13 phones you can use split screen on most apps.
For example if i want to use split screen on Chrome all i need to do is open the app.
Tap and hold the bottom of the app while swiping upwards. Then release.
Next tap on the chrome icon on top of the app.
And select split top.
This will put Chrome on the top section of the screen and any other apps to the bottom.
Now some apps do not support split screen.
For example on the MacDonald's app, if i follow the same steps to split it on top of the screen.
i won't get the option of "Split top"
Today i'm going to show you how to force split screen on any app on Android 12 or 13 phones.
So to do this first you need to enable developer options
So go to settings.
Scroll up
then tap on "About phone"
Scroll up
Then tap on build number 7 times.
Next unlock your screen using your pattern or pin code.
This will enable developer options.
Now go back
Then tap on system.
Scroll up and tap on Developer options.
Now scroll up towards the end of the page.
Then enable the button next to "Force activities to be resizable"
Now let's test it again on the MacDonald's app.
As you can see i can now see the option "Split top" and it will allow me to split the MacDonald's app to the top the screen.
