Amidst all the hustle that Google created with the launch of the Pixel 2 smartphones, the company kind of missed on creating impact for the Fast Pair feature. Well, an event glossed with a slew of announcements, it is only reasonable to miss out some. However, the feature is now getting the attention that it deserves, it is similar to what Apple provides with its W2 chip, i.e. instant Bluetooth pairing with the help of a few taps. With this feature, users no longer need to search for the Bluetooth devices and then pair them. Pairing notification will now pop up whenever the open Bluetooth connection is nearby.

The Fast Pair feature was launched as Pixel exclusive, but now Google is rolling it out for non-Pixel Android devices running Android 6.0 Marshmallow and higher. The decision to roll it out to non-Pixel phones will benefit a lot of Android users. In addition to working with different Android manufacturers, the Fast Pair feature also works with Bluetooth headphones from different manufacturers.
