Okay, did you watch the video?
No? Well, do it.
Okay, you watched it? Now, I'll admit, I got to see a lot of this at a pre-briefing by Google, and many of us have been seeing the leaks and rumours so there wasn't a lot of "OH WOW" moments in it for me but here's my highlights on the whole thing:
- Gemini Gemini Gemini -- gonna be everywhere; he mentioned the glasses (I can't wait for those)
- Did you see that speaker in the room? Was that new? Was that just something non-Google I'm not used to? It would be good to see a new home item
- Phones
- The Pixel phones, only the Pro phone gets the 1 year Gemini Pro - that's a shame as even the 10 should as well, most of the specs will be the same; was it a RAM limitation?
- Magic Cue - essentially Gemini will sift through your phone and use 'triggers' to recognize and give context. Someone asks in a text message about when the next meeting will be, it can search through and see that you had an email with them saying next week; so it'll prompt with that response
- Camera Coach - so no more just having the 'guides'; you can take a temp pic and it can give you suggestions on how it could have been framed.
- Call Voice Translation - live voice translation over the phone with the intonation of the original speaker
- Qi2 -- haha, they said Apple on the stage. Use your MagSafe accessories with this phone!
- Pixel Buds
- Pixel Buds Pro 2 will come with new updates to allow gesture response (i.e. nodding and shaking head to accept/reject)
- Pixel Buds 2a coming out
- Pixel Watch
- Pixel Watch 4 coming out... filled with a lot of 'fitbit' (I'd really wish they stuck with their Google Fit, or could just merge them already, I don't like fitbit)
So those were the quick thoughts by me; I'll do a separate article covering the device specifics.
