Google Elevates Android with Advanced AI Capabilities at MWC
Google announced a new set of Android smartphone features at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024, held in Barcelona. The tech giant is widely famous for its exceptional search engine algorithms and also for making high-quality Androids. Now, the company is more biased toward the integration of more AI features not only in the infrastructure but also in its products to deliver practical benefits and exciting innovations to its users. Although the Google Gemini has not received good feedback from the general audience, Google is still making efforts to announce new attributes and functionalities for cars, phones, and wearables.
The search giant has launched some accessibility features at the Congress. Firstly, the Lookout app will now utilize the power of AI to ensure that visually impaired people can receive captions and subtitles for images that are unclear and have no ALT texts. Hence, they can easily understand the information related to the images. Although Google has updated this Lookout app in the past by integrating an AI assistant that has enabled users to ask questions related to a specified topic, the company has enhanced its functioning.
Google’s New AI Features
At MWC 2024, Google announced multiple new features, as reported by TechCrunch. One of them is termed the Circle to Search feature, which allows users to search for things instantly. The users don’t have to switch apps for this purpose. You can easily circle notes and landmarks with the help of your Android. Additionally, a new feature is integrated that can highlight the dishes you want to try. This feature is currently available on Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and the Samsung Galaxy S24 series.
Best Take is another interesting attribute launched for Pixel 8 and 8 Pro. This AI option can help users enhance their picture quality and capture the best expression of everyone in a single shot. In this way, they can take their experience to an advanced level.
The Dual Screen interpreter mode is enhanced to break down the language barrier by enabling users to see the translation on both screens of the Pixel Fold. Whether you travel or engage in a cross-cultural conversation, this feature can help you a lot.
Google has also made enormous changes in the infrastructure of Android Auto. Now, the integration of AI can help users summarize long texts (even group chats) to suggest relevant replies. Also, you can stay connected without compromising anything or your safety on the road. Besides, Google has provided access to productivity tools like Zoom and other smart home apps.
Among the other apps, the company is making efforts to launch the supporting app for Spotify. In addition, it is updating the Fitbit app. Moreover, Google Deepmind CEO Demis Hassabis has joined Steven Levy for a fireside chat, “A New Era of Intelligence.” It has enabled the company to tackle the scientific challenges and revolutionize various processes.
