With the new google phonesthe Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and the foldable Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the Mountain View firm has announced the improvements coming to Gemini for all users. It now becomes the center of your operating system, capable of replacing the traditional Google Assistant that we have been using for years.
However, this is not the only function related to artificial intelligence: Bringing Pixel Screenshotsan app that will always have an eye on the Pixel screen to help us rewind. We’ve been waiting for it eagerly and after a few occasional leaks, it’s real. It’s the Android feature that reminds of Microsoft’s Recall.
Google adds photographic memory to its Pixel
Pixel Screenshots is not part of Gemini, but comes in the form of standalone application and new for the Pixel 9. We heard about it a few weeks ago, in one of the leaks, and it turned out to be exactly as we knew it.
If we choose to enable it on a Google Pixel 9, the app will scan each screenshot that we save on our mobile. According to the Mountain View company, the power of the renewed processor, the Tensor G4, is necessary.
And Pixel Screenshots does it all on the device: just like Gemini Nano, data does not leave the device
As we mentioned above, it will require a screenshot of the content. In this case, we can ask the new Android assistant, Gemini, which will also show us the specific screenshot it uses to generate the response.
Google has confirmed that in addition to analyzing screenshots taken from the phone itself, can be imported from others: Pixel Screenshots will handle them. The fact that the feature works with screenshots is what differentiates it from Microsoft’s Recall, a Windows 11 feature released in the new Surface that always (if enabled) observes the screen.
The app follows the design lines of Material You, presenting a carousel of reminders on its home screen. It also has the ability to group captures by collections and when opening one, a summary with recommended actions is presented to us.
Thank you to your search barwith an icon to activate the microphone and search with our voice, it will be easy to find any capture stored on the Pixel. Without a doubt, a peculiarity of Google mobile phones. They are doing well, especially in the field of artificial intelligence.
