The Assistant that comes with the new Pixel 4/ 4 XL units have something that the others do not.

For one, it doesn’t take up the entire screen when answering questions, only using as much a space as it needs to get the answer out there. At the same time, the Assistant has also been designed to engage in continued conversations and operate much faster.

To make things even with older Pixel devices, Google has started rolling out this updated version of the Assistant to Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL users.

The first thing to note here is that the rollout is only for the compact version which does not take up all the screen real estate – and we have not gotten the additional features yet. Furthermore, it might not be something we get on these older phones as that could be another selling point for the new Pixel devices.

While there is a chance that we get the same update on the Pixel 2/ 2 XL, there is a very slim chance to none that the same will happen for the original Pixel units.
