back in new york with a new phone
can't complain wow we finally got our hands on the new
iphone 11 i mean pixel 4.
don't know why i said that yes this is the new pixel 4 xl google finally took
the wraps off after months and months of leaks we basically knew everything about
the phone or we thought we did anyways um turns out
a lot of it was true uh so the big things we have an extra camera on the
back now they added a telephoto camera we got a 90 hertz display and let me
tell you it's real smooth
i like my mustache so the google pixel 4 this is the 4xl i
don't have the pixel 4 normal one but it's about the same size
as this one and the bezels are about the same as well so it's launching at the
same price so 7.99 for the pixel 4. 8.99
for the pixel xl 5.7 inch screen on the
pixel 4. 6.3 inch on the pixel 4 xl
snapdragon 855 inside i've already talked about that guys we'll have more
details about it coming soon but for now that's
it's oh so orange last year they didn't really talk about
the specs up front but this year i was talking to a guy and he's like yep yeah
it's got a snapdragon 855 you know
six gigs of RAM they upped the RAM uh this year they was they stuck with four
for too long so they updated not quite to the amount of like eight gigs and 12
gigs that we saw with other flagship phones that we're seeing right now but
it's something thanks google now obviously one of the biggest changes
with this pixel 4 is that it now has what they're calling motion sense so
that's i think their their term for all of the kind of like air gesture sort
of stuff that's enabled by the project solely chip
inside that's uh contained by this big sensor bar at the top you might not like
the fact that there's no notch we're going back to forehead bezels but
you know i'm okay with that because there's a lot of technology stuffed in
there uh the motion sense is going to allow you to do stuff like face unlock
which is apparently always running so it should be super fast when you pick up
your phone you shouldn't have to like wait for it to unlock it should just be
like boom bam boom and that also enables stuff like the motion gestures we saw it
will also allow you to dismiss alarms and to dismiss calls so they took the
call protection thing a little further last year they had the screen call to
protect yourself from telemarketers now you can just swipe it away it's like get
out of there now the zoom lens that i've
mentioned earlier is roughly two times they say that you will get a sharper
zoom if you zoom in beforehand than if
you take a photo and crop it so um
for future reference the one thing that i was disappointed
not to see that i really want to see maybe they'll add it later is the
potential of projects solely to kind of detect fine gestures uh when they first
showed projects solely like you know last year the year before i forget what
it was they showed its potential to kind of like you know turn volume up by like
doing this with your fingers or like turn virtual knobs or like slide things
up or down so i would really like to see that come to this phone i feel like the
potential is there with the project solely sensors but we'll have to see whether they have that they didn't say
anything about it but they did show that picture of the guy twiddling his fingers
google add some add some finger twinly i want to use my phone like this
okay now in terms of the camera one of the
features that leaked before this was the dual exposure controls so you'll be able
to take a photo and not only trust google's computational photography which
they say is a lot better this year and is incorporating things like machine
learning to inform the color of the photos they say that like we know that
people's skin isn't supposed to be blue so if you take a photo and it's super
blue we'll tune it based on the person's face
color that might sound weird night sight
is also getting a huge upgrade uh you'll be able to do you know the
astrophotography thing leaked beforehand but they showed it and it actually is
really impressive i'm not sure whether like night sight is going to be the
exact same strength on like previous pixel phones and the pixel 4 especially
since they have the dual cameras on the back now but we'll have to see it looks
more impressive now one of the main things that google kind of emphasized
during this event was ambient technology
so they're really trying to make uh things like the google assistant and
these camera features just kind of work without you really thinking too much
about it the new google assistant has
more contextual abilities so they talked about that at
google i o last year and now we're
seeing it come to the phones uh we haven't really played around with it a
ton but you should be able to do things like say an initial thing to google and
then just kind of keep talking as if you were talking to a a real person like
there's a tiny little person inside and isn't that the dream i should
mention real quick the guy at the pixel booth told me that oh we got live
caption on the pixel 4 xl now i thought that was coming to the pixel 3 with
Android 10 and he says it's a pixel 4 feature so i
don't know what that means i don't know if it's coming to pixel 3. i i assume that it's coming to pixel 3's later but
maybe we'll see that finally launch with the pixel 4 when it launches
soon apparently it's going to be shipping by october 22nd
so the other kind of big hardware announcement that they're announcing today is the pixelbook go so a couple
years ago or three years ago i forget we had the pixel book the original one it's
a laptop and then last year we got the pixel slate which was kind of you know a
flagship two-in-one tablet device with a keyboard attachment now they're going
back to a regular clamshell laptop so
this is a chromebook it starts at 6 49.
uh last year the pixel slate started at 5.99
so they're getting a little more confident with this laptop
idea um a bit more powerful specs than we
expected than we saw last year we got some Intel core m processors but you're
still seeing this kind of like more accessible specs is a nice way to put it
uh it is a chromebook so you know it's not a Windows machine but
google's done a lot of work with chrome os to make it more of a desktop type
operating system they got this grippable texture on the back that's what they're
calling it these keys are what they're calling hush keys so you should be able
to type without you know alerting the whole room to
your uh your essay you're writing a single usbc
port on both sides so two total and a headphone jack
and uh it comes in black and a not pink
version which is not in my hand currently but there's there's one over there now
this is an interesting setup because i came up to it and it was plugged into
a display hub it's got a usbc uh cable running to
a hub on the back which is outputting to HDMI which is powering this samsung uhd
screen complete with some wireless peripherals
so uh they're kind of like making the case here that this could be you know
your full desktop machine instead of kind of you know like a
chromebook so i just talked to one of the google reps and he did say that the
lowest processor available is an Intel core m3 but there also is core i5s and
i7s available so you know that's gonna be a bit more expensive eight gigs of
RAM at the base level you can go up to 16 gigs and uh the screen 13.3 inch
display 1080p it's very light i didn't mention that
that's partially because of the magnesium frame and despite it being so
light it's got apparently 12 hours of battery
life uh all together so i like it it's very i could i could go
with this pixel book go
uh go to the store now and buy one i don't think you can you gotta you gotta
pre-order it google has finally uh given an update on the pixel buds we got the
originals with the tethered version a while back but now we have the fully
wireless versions very exciting they're going to last for 5 hours
battery life by themselves with the case 24 hours all together they've got beam
forming mics combined with a
voice accelerometer to detect jaw movements so uh even when you're on
the go like on the bike or something in a loud environment it should be able to hear you on device controls we got the
tap to play and pause double tap and trickle tap for this next song in
previous song they also have swipeable volume controls and
you can talk to the google assistant while you're to control things that way they said
that the tip itself will do an excellent job of sealing in the base but they
don't want to give you that uh sealed in feeling so they have a spatial vent on
the bottom that lets in a bit of ambient sound uh so you don't feel like you're
underwater they also said that the volume would
dynamically adjust to the environment so you don't need to constantly volume up
volume down if things are changing that sounds pretty interesting and they say
the google assistant is going to be faster than ever because there is some
dedicated machine learning hardware on this for voice recognition so you can do
that on device instead of sending it to the cloud every time it also features
long range bluetooth so you will be able to use these buds
as much as as many as three rooms away from your phone indoors and as long as a
football field away outdoors if it works properly when it launches in
2020 for 179 so that's pretty exciting i
did done some wireless bluetooth earbuds reviews
recently and these seem like a pretty exciting pair 179
is a little steep for my taste but uh it
seems like they might be if they deliver on the promises they
might be one of the better ones so we'll have to see
later so i'm here with the google home mini just kidding google nest mini it's
a the next generation of the device but it's essentially the exact same design
they said that people love the home mini size and the form factor so why change
it you know except this version they say is now made the fabric on top is made of
100 recycled plastic bottles which is more
environmentally friendly while still sounding
good i've never tried to play music through a plastic bottle but
there's a first time for everything the main difference here is a wall mount a
third microphone to hear you the better to hear you my dear and on-device
hardware for voice recognition so saying
things like hey g-o-o-g-l-e
turn on the light it should happen like bam gonna launch for 49 similar price to
the original home mini now the other thing they're doing with kind of home hardware is the new nest wi-fi router
and point system so the next wi-fi router is
a router you can use that as part of a mesh wi-fi system with the other point
devices now this is interesting because the point devices have the google
assistant baked in so they're essentially like little nest minis uh so
you can get a router and then kind of dot these
uh nest wi-fi points around your house and get wi-fi coverage and the google
assistant following you everywhere you go so it can know everything about you
and those are launching i think 269 for a two pack of a router and a point but
you can also buy them individually that's pretty interesting i want to get
my hands on that those nest wi-fi devices all also have something called
nest aware which will allow you to
configure security for your network and you can even do things like prioritize
traffic for some devices over others and you can
you know turn the kids wi-fi off by just telling google to do that i don't know
if you should be giving google power over your children but that's a
discussion for another day and uh overall seems like pretty
interesting moves taken by google on the home i mean nest
front well i think that's what they call a
google we got the pixel 4 pixelbook go nest
mini nest wi-fi routers and points uh some
interesting new products i hope you guys enjoyed watching and uh mark and i are
gonna get out of here we gotta fly home we gotta edit this and then fly home
are you excited editing at the airport
love it all right thanks for watching guys we'll see you tomorrow because well
i don't know what day this is going to come out on hopefully tuesday if it's wednesday
love you if it's tuesday see you tomorrow and
happy google
i gotta get i gotta get my get the bag smart
okay yeah there you go yeah let's go
jeez
