Google has pushed the flagman features of last-year's phones into their little budget-friendly devices. Now screen calling, magic eraser and other things AI enabled features are on the lower end devices.
This year the new device has a couple new tricks up it's sleeve. New features like Best Take (see gif above), Audio Magic Eraser (see gif bellow), and Gemini are coming to the device.
As long as you can enable gemini extensions, you can ask your Pixel to, find flights and hotels for your next travel, or find youtube videos, or even ask it to compose a script for your next youtube short, almost like they integrated rabbit r1 in their phone 😅. Now you don't need to go to chat-gpt do that but rather ask your google assistant and it's going to do it for you.
This could be one of the best uses of AI-enhanced products yet. Daily driving a Pixel 6 Pro with the magic eraser, it was mostly a fascinating experience when removing my ex from all our travel pics. Note it was a bit of a hit or miss.
Given the Pixel's history, they got their trust with hard work, and the bar is pretty high, (even though they sell your personal data for money). Doing an oopsie is going to a be a very costly mistake. Let's hope it's not going to be.
Another feature I found pretty cool and honestly interesting is promoting consumerism at it's finest. It's called circle to search - it allows you to circle an item in any video and it will automatically search for it within online stores.
If you're here for the technical terms then:
- (8 square 😅) 64 MegaPixel main camera, and a 13 Ultra Wide Camera
- 13 MegaPixel front camera
- Tensor G3 Chip (what ever that means) but it is AI-enabled and that's only thing that matters I guess.
- OLED 120Hz display
- up to 1400 HDR
- Battery 4,492mAh (should be good for a day)
- 128/256GB of storage
- WiFi 6
- Price from $499 (of course taxes vary depending on your region)
