last year we launched the pixel 3a an
affordable phone with a really
awesome camera and this year we launched
the pixel 4a
and it's selling even faster than the 3a
and today we're introducing the 5g
version pixel 4a 5g
with pixel 4a5g you get the best of 4a
as a 5g experience it has a larger
edge-to-edge oled display and a
more powerful battery the pixel a series
has always been about making the best of
our technology as affordable as possible
and with 5g gaining momentum we wanted
to make this new technology available
at an affordable price the pixel 4a 5g
starts at only 499 dollars
but we know that some people also want
more with their phone
so we're introducing the new pixel 5
which brings together the best of
google's 5g experiences
with water resistance 8 gigabytes of ram
and wireless and reverse wireless
charging
so you can use it with your pixel stand
or to charge your pixel buds on the go
in addition to the hardware what really
makes the pixel phones incredible
is the software 5g makes many of the
great experiences we deliver
faster but people want more than just
speed
speed is still a big part of it for
example you can download a movie in just
seconds now
and we're also optimizing video
streaming quality in both photos and
youtube
for 5g speeds but then with wi-fi
features like smart downloads on 5g
your youtube music playlists are
proactively downloaded
so even when you don't have connectivity
your entertainment continues seamlessly
5g and google duo can make connecting
with friends
and family more engaging and
entertaining not only can you connect
with anyone on any phone
you can now share your screen and watch
videos together
especially now being apart from friends
and family
it's great to be able to share fun
moments while on a video call
like men's haircut tutorials hoping
these video tutorials can help me cut my
husband's hair
better and my son gets the confidence
for his mom to let him cut his hair
pixel 5g and stadia combine to create an
instantaneous gaming experience
today's biggest games ready wherever you
are
play in all your favorite places at home
or on the go
no more waiting for game downloads or
updates
pick up your pixel and play instantly
some people think that to get all the
benefits of 5g
at an affordable price there needs to be
a compromise
on some of our core features like camera
but that's not true
pixel 5 and pixel 4 a5g share the same
front and rear camera system and it's
our best one yet
starting with the hardware we've put a
new ultra wide lens
on the back and hdr plus has received a
serious upgrade
mixing google novel techniques with
traditional hdr techniques
like exposure bracketing to help you
take even clearer
sharper photos the new ultra wide lens
on the back lets you capture more of the
scene
in both your photos and videos whether
you're capturing a breathtaking
landscape or
family get-together the wide lens
ensures you get it all
users love taking photos with beautiful
background blurs
but this is challenging to do in super
low light conditions
so we've added night sight to our
portrait mode for those evening strolls
or backyard s'mores this combination
allows the subject
in the foreground to stand out even in
low light the funny thing is backyard
s'mores
is our use case so my kids love making
s'mores we have not been able to camp
this year
and so we've been doing them in the
backyard camping outside and making
s'mores on our gas fireplace
and we're able to take portrait shots of
them with the background blurred with
the fire just
adding oranges to that background and
them popping with their
s'more on their stick it's pretty
exciting
we improve portrait mode with a new
feature we call
portrait light we know you can't always
get good lighting
that's why with portrait light you can
illuminate your portraits even when
you're backlit
against a beautiful sunset or have a
harsh shadow on your face from the
bright sun above you
because we use ai to solve this problem
you can even apply this lighting effect
in the newly redesigned
google photos editor to a portrait you
took five years ago
one other thing we heard from our users
is how much they want to be able to
capture
beautiful videos to that end we've added
three new stabilization modes
locked active and cinematic pan
we also noticed that a lot of top
youtube videos for videography
are tutorials on exactly this so we
studied the best tips from youtube as
well as from hollywood directors to
create
cinematic pan cinematic pan lets you
make the
everyday look like a movie it creates
sweeping dramatic hollywood effects
through stabilizing and slowing down the
motion by 2x
and we are also launching extreme
battery saver
that lets you decide what essential apps
you want to keep on
while everything else gets paused it
helps you increase your battery life for
up to 48 hours when you need it the most
with these phones you get three years of
android os
and security updates and the titan m
chip
helps to keep your operating system
passwords
and transactions safe they've been
tested
against real world threats to keep
everything from your texts to your
pictures
secure on your phone but of all of these
features
my favorite feature is hold for me
honestly
i really don't like listening to
elevator music or being put on hold for
an r i don't think anybody does
luckily a new feature hold for me builds
on the smarts of
duplex and call screen to help save you
time
google assistant will wait on hold for
you and alert you when someone comes on
the line
and is ready to speak to you so we know
when people buy
phones they really want their phone to
last a long time
and they want to make sure that their
phone stays up to date and has the
latest and greatest and newest features
so with pixel we have feature drops that
do exactly that and
they're always bringing the latest and
newest technology back
to your existing pixel as soon as
they're ready for example
extreme battery saver and hold for me
are going to be coming to older
generation
pixels very soon and we think this is
great from
both a user kind of value perspective
as well as from a sustainability
perspective but being able to hold on to
and use your phone for longer
and for those of you who will be
purchasing one of our new 5g phones
you'll be getting even more three months
of stadia pro
youtube premium 100 gigabytes of storage
with google one
and play pass and play points all on us
we're really looking forward to you
experiencing these new 5g phones and how
helpful they can be for yourself
they bring together the best of google
software new 5g experiences that go
beyond speed
and the latest in computational
photography to help you capture
your special memories and they start
at only 499 dollars
