- Built-In Camera: Say, “Cheese!” The new Tamagotchi Pix has a built-in camera so you can take pictures with your Tamagotchi! You can also customize, cook, and explore by using the camera to bring the world around you into your device for a more interactive play.
- Touch Buttons: Get ready to feel the difference! The Tamagotchi Pix still has the iconic 3 buttons, though now they’re touch buttons making interacting with your Tamagotchi character just a tap away.

When you go into your Character’s room and play with your character, you will help it decide if a professional job is what it wants, and if so, what future career it wants. Also, when your Tamagotchi character goes back to Tamagotchi Planet, it will help figure out what egg to send back to you to help raise your next Tamagotchi character.
