WEBVTT - Google Pixel 3: Killer Camera, Screens Calls Too

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Initial thoughts on the Google Pixel three. What's going on?

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm Rich Tamiro. This is Rich on Tech. I just

0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>got out of Google's big event in New York City

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>to unveil their new slate of products, including the Google

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Pixel three, the Google Home Hub, and the Pixel Slate.

0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:21.279
<v Speaker 1>At the event, I got to go hands on with

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:23.440
<v Speaker 1>all the new devices, but in this podcast, I'm going

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>to concentrate on the major new features of the Pixel

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>three and my initial thoughts on the device. The Google

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Pixel remains one of my favorite smartphones. I review a

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of them, and I always say it's a boring phone,

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 1>but in this case, it works. It doesn't have all

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.919
<v Speaker 1>the content creation features I enjoy on the iPhone, or

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the apps, or the slick integration of I Message, Apple

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 1>Watch in FaceTime, but the Pixel definitely has the superior

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 1>camera technology and mobile operating system. The Pixel three cranks

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>everything up a notch. The design is very similar to

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 1>what you had before, but you can hold these devices

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>better in your hand. There's also wireless charging built in

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the screen seems to be better, and there is even

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>a pair of USBC headphones in the box, a l

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>E Luja. Now there are just two sizes the five

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>point five inch and the six point three inch, and

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>three colors clearly white, just black and not pink. Yeah,

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>those are the names, and the not pink, by the way,

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>looks pretty pink to me. The main difference is that

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 1>the bigger model has a notch and the speakers on

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>these devices are forty percent louder. Now many of the

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.199
<v Speaker 1>improvements with the Pixel three have to do with the camera.

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>There are so many fun little camera tricks on this device.

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>For starters, there's something called top Shot. This is sort

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>of the live photo features on iPhone. Basically, they've had

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 1>motion capture before on the Pixel but you couldn't really

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>do anything with it except watch a little video of

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>before and after you captured your photo. Now this new feature,

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>top Shot, puts it.

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 2>To good use.

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Basically, it's already snapping a bunch of shots while you

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>take the picture, but you can now go back and

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>pick a better picture than the one you originally snapped

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>from a little film strip style of frames. Google will

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>even use its artificial intelligence to suggest which frame you

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>should actually switch to. That's a great little feature. Then

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>there's something called super Zoom. This lets you zoom in

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>on a shot and still get a clear image. Google

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>again is using a burst of photos and runs them

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:18.839
<v Speaker 1>through an algorithm.

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 2>To create a clearer picture.

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>They say that similar technology was used to image the

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 1>surface of Mars, and now this technology.

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Is in your pocket. Gotta love Google.

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 1>The company also had some fun at Iphon's expense. They

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.959
<v Speaker 1>showed two photos taken at dusk, one on the iPhone

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>ten s, the other on the Pixel three, and the

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>iPhone photo was really dark, like not very good, while

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 1>the Pixel photo was so bright it kind of looked

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>like it was taken at an entirely different time, like

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>during the day. Google says you'll never have to use

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 1>your flash again with this feature, which they call night Sight.

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>They say it'll work by a campfire or kind of

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>a selfie in a bar, any dimly lit place. This

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 1>feature is actually coming soon, it's not on the phone

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 1>just yet. I rarely use a flash when I'm taking

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>pictures on my Pixel, and to be honest, the only

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>time it's ever turned on is when I hand my

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.399
<v Speaker 1>phone to someone to take a picture and they immediately

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 1>turn it on like they found a big mistake on

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>my device because it was turned off. I usually just

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.079
<v Speaker 1>smile and pretend it was my oversight, but in reality,

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>you rarely need a flash on the pixel right now,

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>So with this new night site feature, I think it's

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:22.519
<v Speaker 1>going to be really cool when it comes to taking

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>pictures at night. Google also mentioned how Pixel users are

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 1>often designated the official photographer at any event they attend,

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and I can definitely vouch for this.

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 2>It happens to me all the time. Everyone knows that

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 2>the Pixel.

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Captures great shots, but I find that people are still

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 1>very reluctant to switch from the iPhone because they're in

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>the ecosystem too deep, or they just don't want to

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>bother with something that's new, and I totally understand this. Also,

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone is still an amazing overall device with lots

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>of aspects of it that work nicely, while the Pixel

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>is primarily focused on the camera and all of the

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 1>cool artificial intelligence things you can do with it. Selfies

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>are easier thanks to a new group selfie care. There

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>are actually two lenses on the front of the Pixel

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>three one is your typical one is a wider angle,

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>and while you're taking a selfie, you can pop out

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>to get a wider angle view and fit many more

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>friends into the picture. I tried this out at the

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Pixel event. It's very substantial how much wider you can

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 1>get on the front facing camera. There's also a new

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>photo booth mode. This automatically takes pictures as you pose

0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>for the camera. Kind of reminds me of what Samsung

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>has where you can hold your hand wide open in

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 1>front of the phone and it will start taking a picture.

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>This is very similar, except all you have to do

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>is smile or make sort of any gesture that looks

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>like you want to take a picture, and the photo

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 1>booth kind of recognizes that and it will snap your

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 1>pictures as many as you want. Now, in portrait mode,

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>you can also edit the depth of field after the fact,

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>or you can even pick what you want in your

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.720
<v Speaker 1>photo to be blurry and what you want to be

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>in focus, and again you can change this after the fact,

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.279
<v Speaker 1>and you're no longer limited to Google Photos creating those

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 1>color pops for you. You can now tap on any

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 1>photo to make the subject in color and the background

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.919
<v Speaker 1>in black and white. If you had a previous picturel

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.040
<v Speaker 1>you knew about the augmented reality stickers, the AR stickers,

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>well that was two techy for most people. They now

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.359
<v Speaker 1>call this playground. These are little animated objects that you

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>can drop into your pictures. There's a bunch of new

0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>characters that actually interact with you on screen. For instance,

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I played with a cloud over my head. When I smiled,

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>the cloud smiled. When I frowned, he started to rain.

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>That was pretty cute. Then when iron Man was dropped

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 1>into my selfie apparently Google has some new deal with Marvel.

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>He would literally reposition himself to get into the camera

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 1>frame and pose depending on my facial expressions. This is

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>really cool stuff, again, all powered by AI, and it's

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.159
<v Speaker 1>not something that's going to make you purchase the phone,

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.799
<v Speaker 1>but it's kind of like the animojis on the iPhone.

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 1>It's just an added benefit and you'll have a lot

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:49.719
<v Speaker 1>of phone with it, especially when you show your friends.

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>One feature that parents and animal lovers will appreciate motion

0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.480
<v Speaker 1>auto focus. You can now tap on a moving object

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.159
<v Speaker 1>in a photo and it will stay in focus. And

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>since this is good Google and they're leaning heavily on

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.520
<v Speaker 1>artificial intelligence, you know that this feature is going to

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 1>work really well. And as usual, all the pictures you

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.159
<v Speaker 1>take on the pixel will get you free unlimited storage

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 1>in Google Photos for everything. You upload before February first,

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two. And yes, I know that everyone gets

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.160
<v Speaker 1>free unlimited storage in Google Photos, but this is for

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>all of your pictures and videos at original resolution, which

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 1>means yes, including four K.

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 2>Take that iicloud.

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 1>One thing I'm very happy that Google added to the

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>pixel three is lens recognition for a variety of objects

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 1>without having to enter a special mode. Yes, you can,

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.720
<v Speaker 1>finally just open the camera, point it at a QR code,

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 1>any kind of text and email address, a web address,

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>and more, and instantly a little button will pop up

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>on the screen so you can follow the URL, navigate

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.039
<v Speaker 1>to the website, and search for more info. This is

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 1>awesome and I think a lot of people are going

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.680
<v Speaker 1>to be pleasantly surprised at just how useful this can be.

0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 1>For instance, let's say you want to send someone an email.

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Instead of trying to type in their email address and

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>making a bunch of mistakes, all you have to do

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 1>is aim your phone at their business card, tap their

0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>email address, that pops up, and you are composing an

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>email in seconds. I try this with my own business card.

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>It is amazing. It is fast, it is accurate, and

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I really hope that people start to use these features

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 1>more often. Speaking of email, Gmail Smart Composed feature is

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>now on the Pixel three first. It will come to

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 1>other mobile devices in Gmail, but they're giving it a

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>little headstart on the Pixel three. This is the feature

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>where Google uses artificial intelligence to help you write or

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 1>finish sentences in Gmail. I use it a ton on

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 1>my desktop Gmail, which by the way, is different from

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>smart Replies. Those are just the three little replies you

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>get at the bottom of your email when you reply

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 1>to someone. This actually completes your sentences, and it's going

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 1>to be interesting to see just how useful it is

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>on mobile, Probably more useful than on the desktop because

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 1>no one really wants to type on their mobile phone.

0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>It has gotten really good at helping me complete my

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>thoughts and has definitely learned the way that I write

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>and how I say things. So I'm looking forward to

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 1>using the smart Composed feature more on my pixel now.

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Another new feature on pixel is called This is where

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.320
<v Speaker 1>you can just flip your pixel over and it goes

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 1>into do not disturb mode. So this can be handy

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>at a restaurant or a meeting where you don't want

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 1>to have to fumble with the volume or vibrate or

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 1>silent mode. All you gotta do is flip your phone

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 1>over on the table and that's it.

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Super fast, highly effective, and if you've set.

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Up do not disturb properly, your most important calls or

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>text will still come through if necessary. Speaking of calls,

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 1>if you're frustrated with unwanted robo calls, telemarketers, or pr

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>folks in my case, just kidding, Google has a new

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.199
<v Speaker 1>call screen feature that means you'll never have to pick

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>up the phone for a number you don't know ever again.

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Hear me out on this one. It is so cool.

0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 1>When you get a phone call from a number you

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know, all you have to do is tap a

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 1>button on the screen called screen call.

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Wait, say that ten times fast.

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.200
<v Speaker 1>The pixel will answer the call all by itself and

0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:59.439
<v Speaker 1>then use an automated voice to gather information from the caller. Hi,

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 1>your calling is using a screening service from Google, and

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 1>we'll get a copy of this conversation. Go ahead and

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.679
<v Speaker 1>say why you're calling now as the caller speaks. This

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.959
<v Speaker 1>is the crazy part. You see a real time transcription

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 1>on the screen, so you can decide if you want

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>more information from that caller or if you just want

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>to send the call to voicemail or market as spam.

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 2>This is a really cool feature.

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I saw it demoed several times in depth at Google,

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and I just wanted to keep seeing this thing in

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.280
<v Speaker 1>action because this is very useful. It's kind of like

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>having your own personal assistant screen your calls in real time,

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and at any time you can just pick up the

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>call and talk to the person yourself.

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Love it.

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 1>There's also a new Pixel stand for the Pixel three.

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.679
<v Speaker 1>This functions as a wireless charging DOC because the Pixel

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 1>now has Chi wireless charging built in. Thankfully. The doc

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.199
<v Speaker 1>also has some fun little tricks like Google Assistant shortcuts

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.600
<v Speaker 1>on the screen, so with one tap you can perform

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>actions that AI predicts, like calling someone or playing your

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 1>favorite play. Also, music looks really cool when it's playing

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 1>on the stand. You get all the album Martin stuff

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>on the screen, and it will even show an ever

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 1>changing array of photos while your phone is charging, sort

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>of turning your phone into a digital photo frame.

0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:14.839
<v Speaker 2>One cool demo I.

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Saw is that if you have a nest to low

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 1>video doorbell and the Pixel three and the Pixel stand. Yeah,

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I know that's a lot of Google, but it happens

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 1>when someone rings.

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Your video doorbell.

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 1>The video stream will immediately show up on your Pixel

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>screen without you doing anything, so you can see who's there.

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Overall, Google has addressed.

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Many of the major shortcomings of the last version of

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Pixel by adding wireless charging, a pair of headphones that

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 1>just makes life easy in the box, and improve screen

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and better software features, all while continuing to build upon

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:49.280
<v Speaker 1>the core camera functionality, which is best in class. When

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I think Pixel, I think of a device that does

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the heavy lifting for you.

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Think about it.

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.719
<v Speaker 1>It's using AI to surface shortcuts for you so it

0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 1>can give you directions to your next meeting. It's finishing

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:03.320
<v Speaker 1>typing your emails for you. It's recognizing objects and text

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 1>on screen and helping you effortlessly capture amazing looking pictures.

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>The Pixel might not have the glitz and the glamour

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.680
<v Speaker 1>associated with iPhone, but it has a much more muted

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.840
<v Speaker 1>confidence for users knowing that they are getting a world

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 1>class camera with cutting edge smarts built right in. The

0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Pixel three is in stores October eighteenth for seven hundred

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.760
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine dollars. The Pixel XL starts at eight hundred

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine dollars. Again Verizon is the exclusive carrier, although

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 1>all Pixels are sold unlocked for use on any carrier.

0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 1>You can also purchase the device from the Google Store online.

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 1>This strange arrangement with Verizon is just one of the

0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 1>things holding back this device because there's a lot of

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.320
<v Speaker 1>confusion in the real world about the purchase process and

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 1>also whether this device will work on various carriers. But overall,

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I think if you get a Pixel three, you're going

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 1>to be very happy with this device if you're primarily

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.840
<v Speaker 1>interested in taking the best pictures and having sort of

0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 1>an effortless Android experience, which offers all the customization you

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>can want in a smartphone.

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.200
