Google Debuts 26 New 'Gem' Ringtones for Pixel Devices, Questionable How Many Will Actually Use Them
-
Google is adding 26 new ringtones and alarm sounds called "Gems" to its Pixel-exclusive Sounds app.
-
The new sounds have funky names like "Prism," "Ethereal Vibration," and "Mineral Chimez" and are higher quality than typical ringtones.
-
The sounds range from spa-like to Disney princess-esque to bad EDM samples.
-
It's questionable how many people actually use custom ringtones these days versus default or silent.
-
The new sounds are rolling out for Pixel devices, timed with the Pixel 8 launch this week.
