Screensaver Update for Older Pixels
Google has started deploying upgraded screensaver functionalities to its Pixel 9 devices. These screensavers were initially introduced with the Pixel 10 series and expanded with the Pixel 11, offering new styles and features for docked and charging phones.

The 'Charge' screensaver, previously exclusive to the Pixel 11, is also being extended to the Pixel 10 series.
