Gemini Intelligence in the Pixel 10 Series
The most significant update for the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the introduction of ‘Gemini Intelligence.’ This includes an upgrade to Gboard’s voice typing feature, called ‘Rambler.’ It automatically removes unnecessary words, corrects mistakes, and formats spoken sentences correctly. Rambler can also be used for chatting in multiple languages, making it useful for those who use both Hindi and English during conversations. Gemini can complete multi-step tasks such as ordering groceries, booking rides, ordering food, and reserving tables at restaurants. According to Google’s official announcement, these features are now available in India, the UK, and Japan.
AI-Based Custom Widgets Introduced
With the November Pixel Drop, users can create customized widgets based on their needs. These may include widgets for tracking monthly expenses, sports-related widgets, and countdowns that automatically display flight and reservation information. Additionally, Google is introducing new types of icons that can be applied to app icons, allowing for better customization of the home screen.
Smarter Pixel Search and Notification Summaries
Pixel Search is now available on the Pixel 6 and later devices. It helps users find photos, emails, messages, calendar entries, and device settings on their phones. Google’s ‘Conversation Summary’ is now available in German, French, Spanish, Italian, Hindi, and Traditional Chinese. This feature provides a brief summary of long conversations, helping users grasp essential messages. Moreover, ‘HiLight’ now works with Google Messages. If the phone is placed face down, it lights up when a message is received from a favorite contact.
Guided Workouts and Easy Unlocking on Pixel Watch
Pixel Watch 3 and later models will offer step-by-step workout instructions. Users can track fitness data directly from their watches, follow exercise routines, and record information such as repetitions and weight. Google is also introducing automatic unlocking for Pixel Watch users. When the paired phone is nearby and unlocked, the watch will unlock automatically without needing a PIN or pattern. This feature is expected to be available in the coming weeks.
