Because of these features pixel devices are ranked at the top among Android phones. With advancing technology and trending styles, every app is considering making their look and features pleasant.

As per information from 9to5Google, the location of the in-call options, including mute, keypad, audio output, and call recording. These may now be accessed by a card that appears from the bottom, and by default, just three options are displayed: Keypad, Mute, and the audio output selector.
More possibilities appear in a row above when you tap the card’s three-dot More button. Moreover, the keypad appears to be an extension of this card. According to Google’s Material You design standards, the call interface and card background are likewise dynamically styled.
All the in-call utility options were located in the center of the screen on the previous UI, although it frequently took two hands to use. The keyboard is actually a little bit higher now, so the new card-style structure should be considerably more practical for one-handed use, at least with respect to the call options.
