Google has released a new generation of Pixel phones and other hardware products, focusing on the application of AI in phones:

  1. Gemini AI assistant upgrade:
  • Can bring up Gemini overlay on top of any app to ask questions about screen content
  • Plans to connect more apps, such as Calendar, Keep, YouTube Music, etc.
  • Launched Gemini Live voice conversation feature for long conversations
  1. Further integration of AI into Android system:
  • New "Add Me" selfie group photo feature
  • Pixel Studio AI image generator
  • Pixel Screenshots search function
  • Call Notes call record summary feature
  1. AI camera features:
  • Self-proclaimed "world's first AI-driven camera"
  • Low-light panorama shooting
