In December last year, Google began rolling out “bigger updates” to its line of Pixel phones with reduced features. The first drop in features brought a host of improvements and new functionality to the Pixel 4 series phones, including automatic call detection, improved video calls in Duo, and the ability to blur the background in photos after capture.
In an interview with Forbes, Sandeep Waraich, senior manager of wearable products at Google, confirmed that Pixel Buds will receive a similar feature drop next month. Although Waraich did not confirm a specific date, he did say that Google is targeting the end of August.

When asked about the new features that the next update will bring to Pixel Buds, Waraich said:
Our next release will have a combination of new features … and then we will also have performance improvements in terms of increased product stability. We are touching many corner cases, where our product is unstable or will have certain RF glitches or cuts, we are also improving it.
Waraich also explained that audio cut-off issues affect all Bluetooth headsets, primarily due to Bluetooth interference. However, he did hint that the design of the Pixel Buds could be causing stability issues “in some extreme environments.”
