1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,680
we're at the google pixel event here in new york and i have in my hand the new

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,760
pixel 3 and pixel 3 xl like before

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:14,880
they're the exact same phone they have the same internals same RAM same storage

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,320
same cameras same body the only difference is the size and the screen as

5
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:25,279
you can see this one is slightly smaller this one's slightly bigger 5.5 inch screen on this

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,840
guy 6.3 inch screen on this guy and the

7
00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:29,279
presence of that wonderful enormous

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,920
delicious did you see notch yeah just delicious yeah this is like

9
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:36,719
you just took a chunk out of it that's why it's it's like there's a lot of

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:43,920
thoughts about it i don't think delicious cal oh hey man that's my truth i'm living it

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:48,160
speaking of internals the one thing that google didn't really talk about in the

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,920
event was the actual internals so they didn't talk about what system on a chip

13
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:58,000
it's running how much RAM how much storage the one thing that they did mention about the internals is the pixel

14
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:02,399
core imaging chip so that's going to assist with the machine learning

15
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:05,920
software side of making the photos really really nice one of the software

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:10,960
tweaks that they did talk about was a HDR plus type of mode where it takes a

17
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:15,119
burst of photos and selects the best one the feature that they're talking about

18
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,360
there is top shot so the system will

19
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:20,240
automatically suggest to you which shot is the best it'll determine

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:25,119
which who's smiling or who's making horrible horrible faces you can fine tune it

21
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,119
yourself but the system will provide you suggestions they've also made

22
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:32,479
adjustments to the way that low light works they've got a feature called night

23
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:37,759
sight which they say basically completely destroys the iphone

24
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:42,720
10s's low light ability they even had a dedicated slide for that in the event

25
00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:47,520
which was quite rude in my opinion but fair enough another thing that they

26
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:50,000
shaded the iphone on was the wideness

27
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:53,040
of their selfie cam so you'll notice that previous pixel generation one

28
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:57,280
camera on the back one camera on the front these pixels have one camera on

29
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:01,840
the back and two cameras on the front and that's because it's being used for

30
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:07,680
their group selfie cam feature which apparently will allow you to get selfies

31
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:10,560
that are 184 percent wider than the

32
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:14,800
iphone 10s selfies so the widest selfies this side of the

33
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:18,080
mississippi now the other huge standout feature for

34
00:02:16,239 --> 00:02:22,160
the pixel 3 and pixel 3 xl is that they're going to get duplex google's ai

35
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:27,440
calling feature when that launches they're going to be the first to get that but until that comes you can use a

36
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,280
feature called call screen and what that does is

37
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:34,160
screens calls so you get a call while you're in the middle of something you

38
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:37,920
don't want to answer it it'll pop up saying oh you want a call screen okay

39
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:42,319
yeah and google assistant will talk to the person via text and ask them why

40
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:45,920
they're calling you and the reason they can type in the reason why they're

41
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,879
calling you and it'll show up on screen so

42
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:53,280
it's basically a built-in telemarketer defense which is pretty

43
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:58,080
awesome and one thing that i forgot to mention is that the back looks like it's

44
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:03,680
not glass but guess what you got full because it's glass there's a matte and a

45
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:05,920
glossy finish but there's actually the

46
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:09,440
entire piece is one solid piece of glass so that allows them to add wireless

47
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:14,080
charging one thing that a lot of people are sorely missing with the pixel 2

48
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:17,760
and wireless charging allows them to make the super cool pixel stand which

49
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:22,560
we're going to talk about oh and they still got the squeeze to activate google

50
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:26,640
assistant feature which i'm not used to because i'm not used to squeezing phones

51
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:31,280
and having things actually happen so the pixel 3 and 3xl is going to come in just

52
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:35,200
black clearly white and not pink

53
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:38,319
which is pink a bit confusing and it's going to start at 7.99 obviously that's

54
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:41,840
for the pixel 3 at the base configuration so they didn't actually

55
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:46,319
talk about how much this one is yet but i assume it's more so another product

56
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:50,959
that google has unveiled this year is the pixel slate so last year they had

57
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,879
the pixel book uh that was kind of a laptop tablet

58
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:58,640
thing it was mostly a laptop and it was trying to also be a tablet and ended up

59
00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:02,480
kind of being not a super great version of either of those product categories so

60
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:10,000
what google has done is kind of double down on the tablet angle so the slate is

61
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:11,680
1.7 millimeters thin 1.6 pounds and it

62
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,680
does kind of feel like it would be a great tablet experience that's what

63
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:22,079
they've really centered it towards dual front firing speakers on the front a 293

64
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:26,000
pixels per square inch which amounts to 6 million pixels overall which

65
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:32,400
apparently is the highest amount of pixels in this category large tablet

66
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:36,720
category i guess it's got two usb-c ports one on either side and a

67
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:40,080
fingerprint reader on the top which also doubles as the power button no headphone

68
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:45,680
jack but it comes with a dongle in the box and 8 megapixel cameras on the front

69
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:51,360
and back now this is something interesting that they've done with the pixel they're kind

70
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,759
of bringing the pixel phone camera

71
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:57,199
technology onto tablets so it's going to use machine learning

72
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,639
software to kind of try and give that same portrait

73
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:04,880
experience that we've had in the pixel so it remains to be seen how good it

74
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:09,360
will actually perform how well it will perform but it's exciting to see them

75
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:13,280
bring that technology into something else other than the pixel 3 phones so of

76
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:17,360
course the pixel slate isn't just a tablet they're releasing this keyboard

77
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,720
with it it's an automatic pairing with the golden connectors on the bottom so

78
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:26,000
you just slide it in and it'll instantly recognize and once it's in the keyboard

79
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:30,400
dock you can slide it along so that it can be adjusted to be at any angle they

80
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:34,720
say it's infinitely adjustable although it does lock at the top and bottom so

81
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:39,840
it's not quite infinite guess let's be serious and google says that

82
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,280
they have retooled chrome os to work

83
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:47,120
even better for a desktop and a mobile experience so

84
00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:51,360
you can now snap Windows from to either side so it's a little better for

85
00:05:48,479 --> 00:05:55,919
productivity and they have reworked the ui for be to be more a little more touch

86
00:05:53,759 --> 00:06:01,360
friendly as well for the mobile side the slate is supposed to get you 10 hours of

87
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:03,520
battery life uh and it starts at 5.99

88
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:07,520
this year last year it started at 9.99 the pixel book started at 9.99 so that's

89
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:11,360
a pretty big jump and it's nice to see them kind of addressing the fact that

90
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:17,039
the pixel book was maybe a little too expensive for what it was the keyboard

91
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:17,759
is 199 and the pen is 99

92
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:23,199
so uh those will all be available soon unfortunately just like the pixel 3

93
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:27,520
phones they didn't actually talk much about what the internal specs are but

94
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:31,039
i'm sure we'll find out very soon it's a lot smaller than i thought it would be

95
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,880
for all the leaks from all the photos it looked like it was like a google max

96
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:39,280
with a screen on it but that's not what it is it's very it's very tiny it looks

97
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:43,600
like it's like maybe a seven inch eight inch screen this is the google home hub

98
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:48,800
and it's basically what it sounds like it's a google home with a screen on it so it's

99
00:06:47,919 --> 00:06:52,479
going to do all the things that your google home does and a bit more you're

100
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,560
going to be able to use those normal google apps to use but apparently google

101
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:00,720
has redesigned the app interfaces to make it a little easier for

102
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:04,560
families to use it in kind of obviously the home setting in the

103
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,919
kitchen in the living room in the play area what do homes have i live in

104
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:11,520
an apartment now one thing that you'll notice is that there's no camera on this

105
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:15,840
thing you'd think that a device like this would be used for

106
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,120
family video calls but uh that's not gonna happen so it's good for privacy

107
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:25,120
some people you could say that that means that it's spying on you less but it's not so good

108
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:29,199
for video calling obviously so that's an interesting choice that google made and

109
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:33,680
just like the other homes it has the ok google detection switch so you can tell

110
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:37,520
it not to listen sometimes the home hub apparently has a few smart features that

111
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:41,840
make just make sense when you think about it like when you uh your nest

112
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:46,319
doorbell will ring your camera enabled doorbell the home hub will automatically

113
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:50,960
show the feed from that it will have parental controls so kids just can't go

114
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:55,360
on there and look up anything they want willy nilly most kids

115
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:59,680
and when no one's using it at all it'll be in live album mode which means that

116
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:04,000
it'll go through your google photos or if you can choose albums that it will go

117
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:08,720
through or you can say hey i want to show pictures of jim billy and sarah and

118
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:13,280
your google photos will automatically create an album with those people in it

119
00:08:11,599 --> 00:08:17,199
so you can always look at the pretty faces of your family and friends you can

120
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:21,919
pre-order the google home hub now for 149

121
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:24,319
and it'll launch october 22nd everywhere

122
00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:29,199
else and that live album mode will also be on the pixel 3 when you set it into

123
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:33,279
the pixel charging stand so when you dock your pixel it'll

124
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:36,560
essentially act like a mini google home hub

125
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:41,279
uh which is already mini more mini than we thought it would be

126
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:45,519
hey yeah good to meet you too i don't know him riley i don't know

127
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:51,360
okay yeah good to meet you well yeah i just he's rolling wow

128
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:55,519
what a special moment i was just trying to say goodbye i was

129
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:59,279
apologizing for ruining your video yeah you really did

130
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:02,080
have fun good riddance

131
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,360
i thought i was his favorite i mean he just met me

132
00:09:05,839 --> 00:09:11,279
well guys that's a quick look at what google announced today at the made by

133
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:15,200
google event here in new york it was very exciting it was my first event it

134
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,399
was tech league's first on location event so let us know what you thought we

135
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:23,839
didn't get to everything that i wanted to get to but uh i'm assuming that we or

136
00:09:21,839 --> 00:09:27,680
Linus tech tips are going to do some more full fleshed out videos on these

137
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:32,000
products soon so thanks for watching subscribe to techlink for more tech news

138
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:36,880
that isn't necessarily like this and janice will love you forever

139
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:42,560
i'm not filming now yeah he's done he's off duty so am i gonna stay in new york

140
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,560
see you later
