The competition to create the top mobile device with AI has started, and Android rivals are currently outperforming Apple.
Apple has introduced an improved Siri, but other Apple Intelligence features lack enthusiasm. Samsung is integrating Gemini into its Galaxy phones, while the new Google Pixels are packed with useful AI tools.
Google introduced the Pixel 10 device on Wednesday (19), which clothed me in a virtual blazer generated by artificial intelligence through a camera application.
My voice’s clone talked about lunch in German, a language I’m not familiar with.
When I contacted United’s customer service, the flight booking details popped up on the screen.
Pixel holds a small share of the smartphone market and is leading in AI compared to the iPhone. Google recently highlighted Apple’s delay in improving Siri and recommended that iPhone users switch to the new Pixel 10.
We are interested in discovering the capabilities of AI on a smartphone, regardless of your perspective.
Pixel 10 offers features such as on-demand information, instant translation in your voice, a virtual photographer for photos, personalized training, and additional capabilities.
What is beyond his capability? Changing the green text bubbles from an iPhone to blue.
No prompt is necessary
Google Pixel phones prioritize software over hardware, including the latest models, Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro, which heavily utilize Google’s own apps like Gmail and Maps.
iPhone users, like myself, are most impressed by the Magic Cue feature, which reviews your emails, schedule, and texts to present relevant information when needed.
Magic Cue can retrieve Ben’s cafeteria recommendation from your conversation and offer a shortcut to your calendar when Mary asks about trying it on Sunday.
When you make a call to a restaurant, the phone application can access your email reservation information. By launching Google Maps right before making the reservation, you can easily navigate to the restaurant with a simple tap.
Voice Translate is an advanced feature that functions similarly to the Meet tool I tried out earlier this year. It operates directly within the phone app on Pixel devices, facilitating real-time language translation for various languages such as English, Spanish, German, Japanese, Italian, Portuguese, French, Swedish, Russian, Hindi, and Indonesian.
I attempted using a native German speaker to help me. When I spoke in English, I quickly heard my own voice speaking in German. The conversation was transcribed on the screen in English.
The English translation of the German text was not flawless, but I always grasped the main idea. I wish I had access to this tool back when I was living in France, struggling with administrative duties as a non-native speaker, like persuading my landlord about the faulty water heater.
Artistic Director
Pixel 10’s camera features AI technology that offers guidance through Camera Coach. Initially, Camera Coach may feel intrusive as a Google representative directed the camera and used AI to capture the photo, then asked preferences for the shot after about 10 seconds.
Clicking on “inspire” resulted in a rough image of me in a more relaxed position on the couch. Following this, instructions were provided to the photographer to sit, position on the left side of the frame, capture the scene from below and at an angle, utilize Portrait Mode, and take a waist-up shot.
The end result turned out well, possibly suitable for my LinkedIn profile. However, did you capture the required level of seriousness?
In edit mode, you have the option to request photos by providing instructions either through typing or speaking. When I selected “Make it look professional,” the photo was enhanced with increased clarity and blur effects, presenting me with four choices in just 20 seconds.
Change Nicole’s background to the Milky Way in outer space, dress her in a virtual blazer, and despite some risque alterations, the outcome was impressive.
I actually desired a different coach on Google’s Gemini, which was launched in October. It offers personalized guidance on health and fitness for Fitbit and Pixel Watches users.
The health coach can modify workout plans using current data like sleep from the night before. If you bring up back pain during a check-in, the coach will adjust the recommendations. The upcoming Workout Buddy feature on the Apple Watch focuses more on AI animation than coaching. It can notify you when you achieve a personal best but cannot design a workout plan for you.
Google claims that Pixel’s advanced AI capabilities can create extraordinary results. Samsung promotes its phones with “Galaxy AI”. Apple’s website emphasizes the potential of artificial intelligence.
Sheng Win Chow, an analyst at Canalys, notes that people are not currently requesting AI resources on their phones. However, Google believes that this demand will increase in the near future. Apple is currently behind in this race and has much ground to cover.
