Are we far from the point of no return? Have we succeeded in … addicted to me?

This is not the introduction to the AA meeting, this is what I have been asking myself since I read this article by my colleague Alan:

When I saw the title title, I was not sure whether the Google team did something to spoil the famous pixel camera. I expressed my opinion that the update – regardless of the feature it was – is the last of Ai Blitzkrieg. The Big G loves artificial intelligence and this – at the last Google I/O conference again in May 2024, the term “AI” was mentioned over 120 times in some hours, which is enough to cause post -traumatic disorder. A long short story, people feel crazy because the beloved pixel phones are now vibrating differently from what they were. This happened after the March Pixel Drop Software update. Do not vibrate differently when receiving a call or text, but when using the phone itself-what is called Haptics. You know, the small vibrations you feel when clicking on the screen, write on a keyboard, or get a notice. The reactions make them feel more natural by simulating real touch, such as pressing a physical button (unlike clicking on the flat screen). These vibrations help us to move in our devices without relying only on video images. Like when the phone vibrates a little when it opens it – you know it is now ready to use.

The advanced HAPTICS smartphones are used to create more immersive experiments, such as adding a texture to the elements on the screen or making long gestures easier. In Android team, research has explored how Haptics can simulate texture, flexibility and physical in actual time, which leads to improvements such as The fast settings experience has been updated in the low Android 2024 feature.

Fast settings buttons, which are characterized by both vibrant actions and long pressure, which have already been confused by users who were not aware of the long pressure option. The new counter -feeding system provides a gradual effect of “escalating” when pressing for a little longer, and its peak in “Snap” is severe when stimulating long pressure.

This is useful, but people in 2025 feel crazy because many pixels are now much stronger than before. In fact, even with the position of Haptics at its lowest levels, vibration is still too much – like a hammer.

What is the big deal?

Pixels are praised for its presence in excellent Happics, and I can confirm it. Currently, it is not clear whether this change is intended or wrong, but it is not relevant.

Part of me is confusing because this is a problem – after all, we are not talking about draining a sudden battery or a camera that does not respond, or a modem that cannot make or receive calls. No, we are talking about vibrations of the gentle tonnia made by small engines or engines inside the device.

I am sure that most of the owners of the pixels – yes, even those who felt the change immediately – will get used to change in a short period of time. It is our human nature and our ability to adapt to the blame here.

Allow me to present you an example: In different periods, I used completely different screens for my computer-sized TV screen, a 24-inch dedicated screen, and a 14-inch laptop screen. The adaptation period was a nightmare, but it ended quickly (the difference between the TV is 50 inches and a 14 -inch laptop is brutal, keep in mind).

My theory is that most people cannot even know if their phone is gently or firmly vibrating.

Solution: More control

However, the other part of me completely understands the reason for the anger of these pixel users – we all have expectations about our devices, and it is natural that we are angry when these expectations are not fulfilled.

Obviously, it is not a kind of reducing devices in playing here – Pixel phones of the tenderness have been gently until recently, and now “it is released”. The only thing that has changed is the update of the program. Let’s hope it is wrong and that things return to normal.

But I will be better if the Android team made more improvements and provided us with strange controls, and more options to control our devices. Expand the ghost control of Haptics! Allow us to appoint him to a real decrease, but also we give us the option to overcome the top, if we choose it.

Wasn’t Android everything about allocation and editing? We expect Android 16 to bring a ton of new features and controls, and the most richer Haptics among these.

Android 16 A new level of flexibility must be presented in the HAPTIC comments, allowing applications to apply vibrations in completely different ways. This change is expected to have the greatest impact on games, as developers can create distinctive vibration patterns of various in the game. This must be paired with a richer and more detailed control of the large system as a whole.

Currently, there is an option to increase or reduce the Haptic vibrations in the Android settings menu – but I don’t think it is doing a great job. I feel that – on an imaginary scale from scratch to ten – I only give me Android option to increase or decrease between, for example, three and seven.

Solutions that suit everything rarely work, especially when it comes to something personal like intense comments: some people love them, some like them. Google, take my advice and let the sleeping dogs lie by carrying out a truly lovable control in Haptics.
