- Battery usage alerts
And this is what the 7.1.2 Nougat update brings to Pixel and Pixel XL:

The update is rolled out over the air, and, it will be quite a while till the update reaches your device. However, if you can’t wait to get this update on your Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Pixel or Pixel XL, you can flash the OTA or factory images on your device.
Also, this update won’t be rolled out to Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 as they are already past Google’s support window for Android version updates.
