Unlike Adaptive Sound found on Pixel Buds 2 TWS earbuds that increases volume in noisy environments, Adaptive Sound on Pixel 5 will improve the audio quality by automatically adjusting equalizer (EQ) settings to better suit the environment. As a result, the feature eliminates the hassle of manually adjusting EQ.

Moreover, the company promises that microphone audio is deleted shortly after it’s recorded. The software giant also assures that the audio is processed locally in your Pixel phone and will never reach Google’s servers.

According to the report, Google may add song recognition capability to Live Caption. This way, the caption will show the song’s title and artist’s name instead of simply showing [MUSIC]. Like Adaptive Sound, we could expect this much-needed improvement to get added to Pixel 5 in the next update.
