5 reasons why I’ll always buy Google Pixel phones instead of Samsung Galaxy

Google has recently extended its anti-doomscrolling tool, Pause Point, to devices other than the Pixel 11, initially available only on that specific model. Announced in May, Pause Point is designed to provide users with brief mindfulness breaks to break from their latest app obsessions. Though early reports suggested it would be exclusive to the Pixel 11, Google later introduced Android 17 QPR1, which brought Pause Point to additional Pixel phones.

Now, this digital well-being tool is being extended to OnePlus devices running Color OS 17 as well. As smartphones can often prove to be quite distracting, Google's Digital Wellbeing suite, including tools like Pause Point, can provide much-needed assistance to users looking to regain control over their screen time.
