Google Pixel: Why it Might Be a Big Deal
Alright so we now know after yesterday's event , about the new Google pixel phones that are through and through made by Google. This is perhaps the first time that Google has done something like this and by this i mean design the hardware of the phone to fully take advantage of the software , which was kind of the key point that Google was trying to push out during the keynote launch event.
We've got the daydream, Google home and even the all new Google assistant. However there may be a lot more in store for us. Firstly lets talk about the new Pixel phones. As mentioned earlier, the Pixel and the Pixel XL are designed by Google through and through but the actual hardware manufacturer is HTC. Both the Pixel and Pixel Xl sport an aluminum and glass construction. The back panel is mostly made of aluminum, save for the small part near the camera where Google has decided to give the phones a unique look by adding glass panel. Both the Pixel and the Pixel Xl come in 3 different colors. Very Silver, Really Blue and Quite Black
Yes folks, you read that right. And no we didn't make that up. Those are the official names for the color variants of the Pixel phones. In terms of specs, Both the phones sport a Snapdragon 821, 4GB of RAM, 32GB or 128GB of internal storage and storage cannot be expanded through a microSD card. The main feature however, according to Google, is the new camera. Google says that the camera on the pixel has scored the highest by dxo mark, a company that rates professional as well as smartphone cameras.
However even though the phones are technically the most "New" with some new features, there haven't been any groundbreaking new features that the general public should create a hype over. The phones are nothing out of the ordinary and are what many would expect from a high end smartphone these days. The hype that was created before the launch , ended pretty abruptly after Google revealed its somewhat exciting new pixel phones.
But if you're anything like me, wanting something more, then i have good news for you. Google has something in store for us that relates to AI. AI can potentially dos so much for us if developed correctly. The era in which we live can be called as the era of smartphones, where everyone is hunched over , looking at the screens of their devices. You cant blame them , as a smartphone is the primary way some people access the internet. However by doing this people ignore their surroundings. AI could solve this issue with ease. You wouldn't have to look at any screen or type any instructions to get something done. With AI you can just say out loud the commands that you would like your device to perform and it would automatically do them for you. Imagine you telling your fridge to make a list of all the things that you need to get from the grocery store. That future is very near people. In fact Google even gave us a slight glimpse at what its AI could do just on a smartphone.
Now what's interesting is that Google is allowing third party developers to build on their Google Assistant AI. This would mean that many more people outside of Google can now experiment with Google's AI and give us tools that we can use in our daily lives. Improving AI would mean that we could spend more time in the real world while also having a firm foot and a leg in the virtual world of the world wide web.
So what do you think of Google's new assistant AI? and how do you think AI can help you in your daily lives by doing tasks that you normally would avoid? Comment down below and let me know!
