On August 13, 2024, Google released its new Pixel smartphones, including the Pixel 9, which starts at $799, which is $100 more expensive than its predecessor. The release came earlier than usual as part of Google’s strategy to integrate advanced artificial intelligence (AI) features into its devices and compete with competitors before Apple releases the iPhone in September. New features include a screenshot search feature unique to Pixel users, and an overlay of the Gemini chatbot that provides assistance across apps.
Google is launching upgraded versions of smartphones, watches and headphones that aim to compete with Apple and Samsung and provide more ways to use artificial intelligence. The new devices include the Pixel 9 (6.3-inch,$799, available on August 22) ; the 9 Pro (6.3-inch,$999) and the 9 Pro XL mobile phone (6.8-inch,$1,099), and a premium folding model called the 9 Pro Fold (8-inch internal screen,$1,799, available on September 4). In addition, Google has released two size of Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Buds Pro2. The phones will feature an upgraded version of Google Assistant, equipped with the company’s Gemini-generated AI, allowing them to make more complex responses, such as providing cooking recipes after seeing photos of ingredients.
Although Google’s global smartphone shipments were less than 1% as of the second quarter of 2024, it is still the fourth largest smartphone manufacturer in the United States, with a market share of 4.5%. The company also launched updates to its smart watch line and wireless headphones at the event.
Google launches Pixel Studio AI image generation app at Pixel 9 launch
Google launched its new image generation application Pixel Studio at the Pixel 9 launch event. The app will be pre-installed on all Pixel 9 devices, allowing users to create pictures based on text prompts. Similar to Apple’s upcoming iOS 18 Picture Playground, Pixel Studio allows users to edit pictures after creation, add or remove elements, and change style. The live demonstration showed the process of converting bonfire pictures into beach party invitations, which included the Golden Gate Bridge and fireworks, and used pixel art style. The app leverages Google’s Imagen 3 text-to-picture model and complements other AI features introduced for Pixel phones, including an innovative screenshot tool similar to Microsoft’s Recall feature.
Google has launched a new feature called Pixel Screenshots, specifically designed for Pixel 9 series phones. This AI-driven application leverages the Gemini Nano model to analyze and make screenshots searchable. Users can classify their screenshots into different collections, such as “gift ideas”, and search using keywords such as “bicycle” or “shoes.” The app also allows users to extract specific information from images; for example, entering “T-shirt price” will retrieve price information from relevant screenshots. Unlike Microsoft’s delayed launch of the Recall feature, which raises privacy concerns, Pixel screenshots only process images taken by users, ensuring greater control over data privacy.
