Although this 2022 has been a good year for Google at least in terms of hardware, with the Google Pixel 7 Pro as one of the phones of the year and the Google Pixel 6a shining for its camera and good value- price, everything can be improved: We are talking about your Google Pixel Watch smartwatch, a renewal of your smart devices and of course at the software level, a twist on your Google Assistant voice assistant, which has already activated its code red face to the potential of other artificial intelligences. With all of that in mind, we’ve put together a list with everything we hope to see from Google in 2023.
The first foldable Google Pixel
Google hasn’t confirmed it, but there are serious rumors that suggest it will be the year of landing of those of Mountain View in leaflet format, of which they have already leaked details such as its design or even its price. If we talk about looks, it will be something like a hybrid between the Oppo Find N2 and a Google Pixel 7 Pro.
While we’re already predicting that like most folding things it won’t be exactly cheap, what’s sparking the most curiosity is How will you solve the challenge of the fold and the passage of time?
On the other hand, and given its erratic hardware history and lack of continuity (I’m looking at you, Stadia), more than a first device, it’s interesting to know if Google will stick firmly to the format, no only debug the original Pixel, if not also at the software level. After all, Google is the authority on Android and who better could adapt the operating system to make the most of it with a new form factor.
Repeat the formula with the Google Pixel 7a
The Google Pixel 6a isn’t the prettiest, most innovative and certainly not the most powerful phone of 2022, but it did mark a turning point: bring a high-level camera to a device that costs around 400 dollars.
Something within the reach of very few brands and which allows the big G to make its way between different user profiles. That Google has a flagship capable of competing to be the best phone is to be expected (in this sense we will of course be waiting for the Google Pixel 8), but that it revolutionizes the mid-range is a good surprise, especially for users, who get the cleanest and most optimized Android experience as a bonus. Plus, it did it Google-style, meaning without needing a lot of lenses and yes, fantastic processing.
With this in mind, the arrival of the Google Pixel 7a retaining the formula of its predecessors would be good news.
A twist to your Google Home ecosystem
With Siri (HomeKit) and its ecosystem reduced and closed and with Amazon reducing its efforts with Alexa, this 2023 could be the time to Google Assistant suddenly on the table to establish itself as the dominant ecosystem. In this scenario, Matter will be of great help and Google has already implemented its support in most of its products.
It’s missing and not just for Google itself: after all, users use voice assistants for little more than timers and playing music and to make matters worse, ChatGPT puts Google Assistant’s capability and also Google’s Assistant in serious trouble. . In this sense, Google is already working on new projects to develop artificial intelligence prototypes and products
While its biggest push should go into software, it’s also worth doing a renewal of Google’s smart devices and a shift in strategy. The impression, particularly contrasting with Amazon’s Echo and Blink, is that the big G is coming late and with high prices. Market there.
Google Pixel Watch 2 and the Lens of Finding Your Site
This year was the launch of Google Pixel Watch, but as we explained above, Google’s mission is not just to arrive, but first to stay, then try to become a reference in a market where Apple starts from a privileged position with Apple Watch.
The Google Pixel Watch has a neat design, some nice features like crash detection, and most importantly great integration with Wear OS, but his challenge is not to be one more. In the “must”, autonomy of 24 hours and an excessive price for its services.
It’s not about stretching your battery to a week, but reaching 36-48 hours, you can watch Apple and Samsung smartwatch head-to-head. From then on, you have two options: either considerably improve its functionalities while remaining in this price range, or bet on its launch to compete in a more affordable segment, in which case the Google Pixel Watch 2 should be cheaper
Of course we would like the new episode for Google’s doll has arrived in Europe.
Try again with tablets
The Google Pixel tablet is confirmed for 2023, so it’s not really a surprise in itself other than **what it will look like**. As was the case for connected watches, Apple is coming back from a dominant position with its iPads, but Google will try its luck again in this sector.
With a rounded design with a rounded design in the corners reminiscent of previous generations of the Pixel and a perfect integration into its ecosystem, one of its greatest challenges lies in adapt your operating system to take full advantage of the format (already seen with foldables), precisely one of the weaknesses of the Android ecosystem.
Beyond big, ambitious screens or high-end hardware, in an inflationary scenario where we’re running out of cheap iPads, maybe the revolution would be a model with good value for money.
Longer support and updates
One of the good surprises that 2022 has in store for us is that several manufacturers in the Android ecosystem are committed to offering several years of updates. With the Pixel 6, Google guaranteed three years of security patches, but Samsung has already hit five. With all, still behind Apple and its six years.
This 2023 is perhaps the year in which Google puts its batteries in and, as a leading manufacturer and as the entity behind Android, takes a step forward and reaches at least the figure proposed by the Korean firm. Will the Google Pixel 8 be the first Mountain View phone with five years of support?
