Transcript

0:00 Speaker A: Hey Gemini, why are almost all of the Pixel 9 announcements about the AI software features rather than hardware? Speaker B: AI can make even small hardware improvements feel like a way bigger deal. Speaker B: Hardware is kind of boring. Speaker A: There's now a system wide integration of Gemini, but still with a limited number of extensions for specific apps like maps, hotels, flights and your old workspace suite. Speaker A: With Gemini's multimodality, it truly has a potential to change how you interact with the phone and the apps. Speaker A: For example, you could be watching a YouTube video and say Gemini, what's the summary of the video?

0:27 Speaker A: Or, or be on maps and ask for the best restaurants nearby. Speaker A: New ways of photo editing like moving or erasing objects, restyling, reframing by generating the background. Speaker A: But for all of that, your photos need to be uploaded to cloud first. Speaker A: And for those group photos where you have nobody else to take it for you, there's nowad me feature. Speaker A: Google also promises that you can now generate images on device. Speaker A: The reality is you still need to be connected to the Internet, while Google says you need a new Pixel 9 with a faster processor and more onboard memory to enable these features.

0:53 Speaker A: Are these AI features just a scapegoat? Speaker A: And more of them will come through the cloud to other Android phones and iPhones in the future anyway.
