海外TECH	Engadget	Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro hands-on: Generative AI and a temperature sensor on your phone	https://www.engadget.com/google-pixel-8-and-pixel-8-pro-hands-on-generative-ai-and-a-temperature-sensor-on-your-phone-143008566.html?src=rss	After teasing us for weeks with trailers showing off the Pixel series Google is now ready to give us all the details about its latest flagships The Pixel and Pixel Pro look largely the same as their predecessors with a couple of key differences The regular Pixel is slightly smaller which makes it easier to use with one hand Meanwhile the Pro model has a new matte finish upgraded cameras and an intriguing temperature sensor Across the Pixel series we re also getting the company s Tensor G processor Assistant improvements and notably seven whole years of Android and security updates So you might actually be able to hang on to your Pixel flagship for a lot longer than before Now we ll just have to wait and see if the Pixel and Pixel Pro do enough for you to want to keep them around for years to come It s worth noting up front that though it s smaller than before the standard Pixel starts at which is more than its predecessor That seems a little counterintuitive but the slightly smaller display actually refreshes at up to Hz now which is better than the Hz last year Meanwhile the Pixel Pro costs the same as the Pixel Pro did and you can find a slew of pre order offers from Google and most carriers to sweeten the deal A potentially useful temperature sensorOf all the changes coming to Google s flagships I m most intrigued by the new temperature sensor on the Pixel Pro I know I know It might seem like a gimmick and I hardly ever use a thermometer in my daily life anyway But in the stale tired land of smartphones it s a novelty and that also tells me Google is at least trying something new The temperature sensor sits below the flash on the Pixel Pro s camera bar and to be clear the regular Pixel does not have this To take a reading you ll have to launch the new Temperature app and select the type of object you re trying to measure You can choose from food and organic cast iron plastic and rubber fabric and more For now Google is waiting on FDA approval to enable the Pixel Pro to take body temperature readings But nothing is really stopping you from selecting the generic default option and pointing the infrared sensor at your forehead Just know that it s not the advertised application and that the reading might not be percent accurate With the existing app and algorithms though you can check the temperature of bath water before putting your child in it or make sure your cast iron pan is hot enough before sticking your steak in it There are plenty of ways to use the sensor but most of us have survived this long without carrying a thermometer everywhere I m not sure we will suddenly start relying on it And it s entirely possible this feature goes the way of the Soli radar that Google introduced on the Pixel and retired on the Pixel Photo by Cherlynn Low EngadgetStill at least based on my few attempts at using the Pixel Pro to scan things the system appears to work I stuck the sensor within an inch or two of iced water and warm coffee and within centimeters or inches is recommended for best results A Google rep cautioned against using the sensor on anything that has steam coming out of it It took barely a second for the measurements to appear on the app and the results all seemed accurate The coffee which had been sitting out for a while generally registered at around degrees Fahrenheit across my multiple readings while the iced water came in at degrees Fahrenheit I ll have to spend more time with a review unit in the real world to know just how much I ll use this and whether it ll affect battery performance The Assistant gets better with generative AIThe temperature sensor might be useful in specific scenarios but the bulk of the updates for the Pixel series is in the Assistant With generative AI being all the rage this year it s no surprise that Google is integrating those capabilities in its phones On the Pixel s you ll be able to ask the Assistant to summarize read aloud and translate articles and web pages I opened up my iPhone Pro Max hands on on Engadget com long pressed the power button to bring up the Assistant and told it to Summarize this page The Assistant said The author reviews the iPhone Pro Max which has a new zoom lens and a new Action button It goes on to explain in two subsequent bullet points that my article had said that the Action button is programmable and that the device has a titanium body and a FineWoven case that is meant to replace leather My inner editor would tweak some of the language there but the Assistant generally did a good job summarizing my piece At the bottom Google asks for feedback on the summary and suggests some follow up actions with buttons like About iPhones Who invented the iPhone and more If you ve spent any time playing with chatbots like Bard or Bing AI this will all feel very familiar Photo by Cherlynn Low EngadgetI didn t actually have to use my voice to ask for a breakdown of my article by the way After bringing up the Assistant the system offers suggested actions like Summarize Read aloud Translate and Search screen If you want to keep your attention on crossing the road or don t have time to scan an entire review the new read aloud tool can be very helpful I particularly like that when you ask the Assistant to read something out a box appears with controls for playback speed skipping ahead or back seconds as well as a progress bar that you can drag At the bottom right of the playback box is a little translate icon ーyou can not only ask the Assistant to convert articles in foreign languages into one you understand but it can also read aloud in a supported language too I asked for my review to be translated to and read aloud in Mandarin and the Pixel Pro did so accurately and almost immediately One of my favorite features on Pixel phones is Call Screening which lets you tap the Assistant to figure out who is ringing you and why With updates coming to the Pixel line the artificial voice will sound more natural adding some pauses and nonverbal utterances to seem more human We saw examples of this when Google first announced Duplex and while most of us were nervous about the implications of AI that could sound much more human there are potential advantages here Most notably callers are probably less likely to hang up if they think they re talking to a real person and you ll have an easier time asking them questions without picking up the phone Photo by Brian Oh EngadgetThe Assistant can also understand if someone is calling about a package and will suggest more follow ups like Leave by front door and I ll be right there During a rehearsed demo with Google s executives this worked very well But when I tried later by masquerading as a delivery person looking for a signature the Assistant failed to bring up a relevant prompt I wouldn t be surprised if the company improves this further over time and frankly its Call Screening is still better than Apple s Live Voicemail which was just released in iOS Google s implementation allows for greater flexibility and interaction making it more helpful Another one of my favorite Pixel first tools is the Recorder app and soon it will be able to provide summaries of your transcripts If you use Recorder for loads of meetings and interviews this may help you more quickly identify the chat you were looking for Based on the demo I saw it doesn t provide very detailed recaps instead offering incredibly high level bullet points Reporters like myself will probably still need to spend a lot of time picking out noteworthy quotes The Assistant is also supposed to get better at understanding your comments even if you trip up or say things like uhm or er while talking to it In my brief experience so far the system did understand me in spite of some pauses and uhms though I m not sure if I would ever unlearn the habit of talking very precisely to the Assistant CamerasI ve long held that Pixel phones have the best smartphone cameras but with companies like Apple and Samsung making great strides in their flagships recently Google s lead is shrinking The company was late to shift to multi sensor setups relying heavily on its software prowess to make up for lacking hardware in the past In recent generations we ve seen a more balanced approach with Google introducing slightly sharper cameras while continuing to update its algorithms to boost clarity and color With the Pixel series we re seeing more of this two pronged strategy The Pixel Pro is getting a sharper megapixel ultrawide camera while the telephoto system s MP sensor is using a lens with an improved f aperture but slightly wider field of view than last year Its primary camera has the same MP setup as before though Google says its f lens has X optical quality compared to last year s f glass Meanwhile the standard Pixel s main camera is the same as the Pro s which is slightly better than the Pixel s Its one other rear sensor is also pretty much identical to the last generation s The hardware might be a small upgrade but the more significant change lies in the software Google has redesigned its camera app to make manual controls easier to reach With the new layout there are two buttons at the bottom that let you switch between photo and video capture That s a little more organized given that Pixels offer different modes like Action for adding motion blur to your shots This redesign also enabled Google to throw in a Pro mode giving you manual control over settings labeled as brightness shadow white balance as well as capturing stills at the full resolution of megapixels You ll have to go into settings to switch on Manual mode and doing so will turn off the auto lens switching feature Photo by Brian Oh EngadgetI discovered this because I was using the Pixel Pro to get super up close with a flower at the demo space so I could check out the improved Macro focus But because I had activated Manual mode the lens wasn t changing on its own when I pushed the device into the petals With its sharper ultrawide sensor the Pixel Pro can get even closer to subjects and still keep focus This year s Pro model will work up to centimeters away while the standard Pixel gets macro support for the first time and has the same capability as the Pixel Pro That means it can get as close as cm I didn t break out a ruler to see how far away the cameras were from the flowers I was shooting but I was impressed by how much detail the Pixel and Pixel Pro managed to capture I d have to pit Google s flagships against Apple s and Samsung s in the real world to say if it s better than the competition but at least from my hands on it seemed effective and fast I also checked out the Pixel Pro s x telephoto system by zooming into items at a breakfast buffet about feet away and was able to read words on the cards identifying the types of milk available Again I can t say how well this compares to Samsung s Space Zoom or the iPhone Pro Max yet Some of the biggest improvements to the Pixel s cameras are in video recording and processing The main new feature is Video Boost which will upload your clips to the cloud for enhancement using Google s more powerful processors These include applying HDR enhanced color grading and for the first time Night Sight Video In a sample Google showed me a scene of someone seemingly kicking a ball into a net by themselves in the dark looked so much brighter after Video Boost that I was able to see that there was a second person in the shot I m a bit skeptical about this feature because it requires you to send a file to Google s servers and it s not clear how long it will take for the results to come back The company said it could be a few hours or longer depending on the length of the video It s also coming later this year and won t be available at launch so there s still some time before we can check it out for ourselves Photo by Brian Oh EngadgetI m more intrigued however by what Google is calling Audio Magic Eraser Just as the Magic Eraser for images can remove photobombers in the background this new tool can reduce background noise in your videos I was shown a sample video of a street performer playing on an instrument and a siren blaring by overpowering the music After Audio Magic Eraser was applied the sound of the passing vehicle was noticeably reduced Though it was not completely eliminated it was definitely less distracting There are plenty of other new features coming to the Pixel series including an improved Best Take that lets you pick your favorite shot of each person in a group photo Magic Editor which was introduced at Google I O this year will also be available when the new flagships launch Finally the Pixel Pro s MP selfie camera is getting autofocus while the regular Pixel also has a MP selfie sensor but with fixed focus Face unlock displays and other updatesIn addition to cameras Assistant and the temperature sensor there are some updates across the Pixel series worth mentioning Face Unlock for example has now been deemed to meet the company s internal security standards and can therefore be used in more areas like authenticating mobile payments or logging into apps That s in part enabled by the Tensor G chip in both phones which also powers things like Audio Magic Eraser filtering out more spam calls and more We don t know very much else about Tensor G at the moment though Photo by Brian Oh EngadgetGoogle is also introducing a new name for the displays it uses on the Pixels ーActua on the smaller handset and Super Actua on the Pro Think of it as Retina and Super Retina on Apple devices but Google The names don t really mean anything other than that the company is using its own software and processing to make things look brighter and sharper We re at a point with smartphone displays where most human beings can t tell the difference between a Super Retina and a Super Actua display as long as they re playing the same content at the same brightness What s worth noting is that the Pixel now has a inch screen and refreshes at Hz while the Pixel Pro maintains the same inch size with an ever so slightly wider aspect ratio of compared to last year s The Pros also have a matte finish this time and come in Bay a pastel blue Porcelain white and Obsidian black while the smaller handset is available in Rose a light peach in addition to the black and white options For things like battery life performance how slippery the phone is and how hot it runs we ll need to use the Pixel and Pixel Pro in the real world before we have a verdict Stay tuned for

海外TECH	Engadget	Google Pixel Watch 2 hands on: New biometric sensors in a slightly lighter package	https://www.engadget.com/google-pixel-watch-2-hands-on-new-biometric-sensors-in-a-slightly-lighter-package-143002557.html?src=rss	When Google debuted the Pixel Watch last year hopes were high that it would be a real rival for the Apple Watch But due to subpar battery life and some friction around integrating Fitbit s health tracking features the company failed to deliver a truly satisfying contender The hype for the Pixel Watch is significantly less than for its predecessor and Google needs to convince us it adds enough to justify an upgrade From the outside the Pixel Watch brings a fairly modest set of updates but it offers some compelling new features that could make it one of the best health and wellness tracking wearables around At a starting price of the Pixel Watch sits between the Galaxy Watch and the Galaxy Watch Classic as well as the Apple Watch Series which both cost It offers a multi path heart rate monitor and introduces body response and skin temperature sensors along with new apps and personal safety features that both help set it apart from and catch up to the competition Most of the changes coming to the new Pixel Watch aren t things I could easily test at a brief hands on session like the new body response tracking tools or how much more accurate the multi path heart rate sensor is I also couldn t tell you whether the added Safety Check feature will give me peace of mind when venturing to strange places on my own What I was quickly able to confirm was that on the surface the new Pixel Watch is just as attractive as before The domed glass and round face look just as smooth and Google says it s made the case a whopping grams lighter while the glass covering the screen is a bit thinner The company also says its recycled aluminum housing makes the haptic feedback on the rotating crown feel a bit more noticeable even though the vibrating motor is the same That decrease in weight should make the new Watch more comfortable to wear especially if you plan to keep it on in bed I barely noticed it was lighter when I tried one on but I assume most people would have trouble detecting a mere gram difference More importantly Google said it redesigned the back housing to contain the three new sensors and help maintain contact with your skin This will also keep the heart rate reader in place during vigorous activities for more consistent measurements Usually when I hear about this sort of watch case design I worry about it being uncomfortably snug but the Pixel Watch I tried on felt pleasant enough Like I did last year I love Google s woven loop band which is as easy to wear on my wrist as a scrunchie Photo by Cherlynn Low EngadgetSpeaking of the company is also rolling out new accessories including a lighter perforated sports band and a narrow strap of metallic links Swapping these out is still fairly easy using Google s proprietary push and click mechanism which it s previously described as similar to switching out lenses on a DSLR There are also new watch faces which are similar to the ones we saw Apple launch on its smartwatches this year that place information at the farthest edges of the screen as if they were right on the bezels The Pixel Watch is still only available in one size mm and its AMOLED screen has the same ppi pixel density as its predecessor It even goes up to the same nits of brightness though Google has tweaked the font size and color scheme in things like the workout app to make them easier to read I haven t had any trouble seeing my activity stats on the Pixel Watch and the mm size sits nicely on my relatively small wrist But I imagine there are people who might prefer a larger screen Animations also look smoother according to the company thanks to the Pixel Watch s quad core Snapdragon Wear processor Not only does it have more cores than the Exynos in the original watch the new chip uses a nm design compared to the Exynos nm process That means it ll be more power efficient and together with its slightly larger mAh battery up from mAh on the previous model we should be getting longer runtimes Photo by Cherlynn Low EngadgetBut because the Pixel Watch comes with its always on display AOD enabled by default battery life is listed as the same hours as last year when the number was given without the AOD on I expect if you disable the AOD you might get a few more hours but that s not something I can confirm without testing the device out myself Google also implemented a new contact charging design on the underside that it says can help you get hours of juice after plugging in for minutes while getting fully charged should take minutes Unfortunately there s no wireless charging which seems like a real oversight Along with the updated contact charging is a slew of sensors The body response sensor which is a continuous electrodermal activity cEDA monitor looks for microscopic beads of sweat Using data from that and the skin temperature sensor as well as your pulse and heart rate variability the Pixel Watch will guess when you re feeling stressed and suggest you log your emotions and try a guided meditation or go on a walk This is far from the first time Google or more accurately Fitbit has offered similar stress management features since it rolled out an EDA sensor on its Sense smartwatch in But while the company may have had a few years of experience tracking this metric it still isn t an exact science I didn t wear the demo unit long enough for it to say I felt stressed even though you better believe I was so I couldn t check out its suggested actions But I d be curious to see what sorts of patterns I would glean from wearing this in the real world over time Photo by Cherlynn Low EngadgetI m also keen to put the new heart rate sensor to the test at my daily HIIT workouts but I m actually most excited about something that should have been on the Pixel Watch from the start automatic workout start and stop reminders One of my complaints about last year s model was the lack of alerts if you ve been active for a while In fact I ll just quote my review here Also while Samsung and Apple will actually alert you when they notice you ve been walking or exercising for awhile the Pixel Watch remains quiet In fact I thought it was malfunctioning and not detecting my brisk mile and I started to get quite angry It wasn t until much later when the walk showed up in the Fitbit app that I realized it had actually counted my activity With the Pixel Watch you should be nudged after you ve been doing one of seven common workouts for a while They include running outdoor cycling spinning walking and rowing Importantly you ll also be prompted to end a session after you ve stopped doing one of those things for some time For outdoor runners in particular the new pace coaching feature should be helpful Meanwhile those looking to hit and maintain specific heart rate zones will appreciate the ability to set target numbers and get haptic and voice alerts to help stay within range Though I did get on a treadmill after putting on a Pixel Watch I didn t work out long enough to trigger the automatic start Something else I would prefer to evaluate outside of the demo space was the new Safety Check feature It joins fall detection and emergency SOS as part of Google s suite of personal safety tools and is quite similar to what Apple offers in watchOS and iOS Specifically the Pixel Watch s Safety Check reminds me a lot of Check In in iOS The latter has you start a session with a friend or loved one in Messages and end it when you arrive home with your phone If you don t make it to your destination in a set amount of time your contact will be alerted and sent some info about your location Photo by Cherlynn Low EngadgetGoogle s approach is very similar ーyou go to the Personal Safety app on the Pixel Watch and select Safety Check This lets you start a timer for your preferred amount of time When that runs out and you don t tell the watch you re okay Google will let your pre set contacts know something is up and share your last known or live location Safety Check feels like something that s nice to have on occasion but what might really improve your daily interactions with the Pixel Watch are updated Google apps like Calendar and Gmail And in yet another change that sounds very similar to something Apple brought this year the Google Assistant is getting support for health and fitness queries so you can ask for your real time or historical stats without touching the screen Unlike Apple though the Pixel Watch s assistant requests are not processed on device so they ll require an internet connection There are a lot of changes coming to the Pixel Watch and some feel more meaningful than others But will they make for a significant update this year Is Google simply catching up to Apple and Samsung or is it leading the way by introducing body response measurements Those are questions better answered after some time with a review unit For now if you re already excited by the new features you can already pre order the device or buy it on October The Pixel Watch is available in silver black and gold cases with a variety of straps and come with six months of Fitbit Premium included nbsp Follow all of the news live from Google s Pixel event right here This article originally appeared on
