Once again, Google has blessed us, this time
announcing a whack of new hardware and google services goodies in Google I/O 2022. So,
I’m going to break down what the top 10 announcements were and what they mean for you.
Hey friends, I’m Tasia Custode, and welcome back to my YouTube Channel where I share tech tips, app
reviews, and enough Google content that I could run my own Google I/O. Today, I’m breaking down
the best announcements from Google I/O 2022. There are so many good ones. You ready? Then let’s go!
We’re going to start with the best hardware announcements from this year’s Google I/O.
First up let’s talk about the Pixel Tablet. The good news: Google is finally providing
a new tablet, their first since 2018. The bad news: it’s not happening until 2023. Ya.
Much like we’ve come to expect from tablets, the Pixel tablet is meant to be a companion
to your Pixel phone. Essentially, Google just gave us a sneak peek at their new Pixel Tablet
featuring Google Tensor, but other than that all they are saying is that they are “designing it
to be the most helpful tablet in the world”. So, I guess we’ll wait and see on this one.
Alright up next let’s talk about the Pixel Watch.
That’s right, the first watch completely built by Google.
Pixel watch will be available this fall, along with the new Pixel 7 - which I’ll
talk about in a minute. So the Pixel watch has a circular design made of recycled stainless steel
and bands that seamlessly attach. Wear OS has been updated too in order to feature more
fluid navigations and smart notifications. And of course, your Google Assistant will be available on
Pixel watch, and the all-important Google Maps. You’ll be able to get directions on
the go, even without your phone. Google Wallet will also work with Pixel Watch,
and you’ll be able to control and monitor your smart home via the Google Home app. But Pixel
Watch will also have a Fitbit integration for all your health and wellness monitoring needs.
Up next in our hardware category, let’s chat about the newest Pixel Phone models: Pixel 6A,
Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Oh, I can’t wait.
First up, let’s talk about Pixel 6A, which will be priced around $449
USD. The 6A features a 6.1” display and sleek bezel we’ve come to know and love
from Pixel 6. It’s got a dual rear camera with a 12mp main camera and ultrawide lens.
Google has developed a common hardware system that they scaled across the Pixel line,
giving this A series phone fast 5G connectivity, improved security, and of course Pixel 6A is built
with Google Tensor. This is huge for a lot of reasons, but the biggest one for me is that
live translate will be available on Pixel 6A, which is massive. Pixel 6A comes in 3
colors and will be available for pre-order on July 21st. This is a lot of phone for a little price.
Okay, on to Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.
These babies are gorgeous. The aluminum finish, which is made of recycled aluminum by the way,
has been extended to the entire camera bar. This really shows off Pixel 7 Pro’s
3 camera system. Both the 7 and 7 Pro feature the next generation of Google Tensor, but that’s
all Google is giving us for now, just a little tease. The phones will be available this fall.
So what goes well with Pixel Phones? Pixel Buds Pro of course! These are a new offering,
expanding on their Pixel Buds.
They are the first pixel buds with active noise cancellation. Google says what makes
their noise cancellation tech so good is that it is designed around a new processor.
Of course, they have transparency mode if you don’t want noise cancellation on.
And, they've got microphones made with noise-suppression algorithms, so that
your voice will remain clear, no matter where you are. They’ve got up to 11 hours of listening time
on one charge. Pixel Buds Pro come in 4 colors and will be available to pre-order on July 21st.
So those are the best hardware announcements from Google IO, but let’s move on to some
Google services and operating system announcements. First up: Android 13.
Android 13 is really focused on not just the phone, but making
all your devices work better together. It’s built on Google’s Material You design language.
App icons can incorporate your color theme, and there’s a new media control that will change based
on the music you’re listening to. You can even set a different language per app, which is so major.
There are also a lot of security and privacy updates. Google messages will now use RCS,
which provides end-to-end encryption for a more private messaging experience.
Okay now, let’s move on to one of my favorite announcements - a really cool Google Maps update.
Google Maps is getting a new Immersive view so you can get a better, more detailed look at locations.
So immersive view uses 3d mapping and machine learning to allow you to really
explore a city. Google used London as an example during their IO and wow,
it’s amazing. You can pan around the sites, check if there’s traffic, see how busy something is,
and get the weather, all in this immersive view. But check this out, you can get a glimpse inside
the building too, as if you’re there actually walking around inside that location.
Holy moly, tyler toffoli! Can you believe?
The coolest part about this is, this is all done via rendering. It’s not like they had a drone or
someone inside with a camera walking around and physically mapping the place. I. Know!
Google Maps Immersive view is going to roll out to select cities
later this year, and that’s all we’re being told right now. I cannot wait.
Alright, let’s move on to some impressive Google Workspace updates.
It feels like we just got some and we’re getting more.
Now in Google Docs, users will have a handy summary that is automated. It’s
their TLDR in real life. Meaning too long didn’t read. Google’s using AI and machine
learning to automatically pull out the main points of the doc and summarize it for you.
So now if you’re in a rush to catch up right before the meeting - no worries.
Plus transcription and summarization will be coming to Google Meet as well. And
speaking of Google Meet, that’s not the only upgrade to look forward too.
Your Google Meets are about to get even better, beyond the automated meeting summary, because
they will use enhanced AI, and build off their Project Starline technology
to improve video quality even in low light situations.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about when I bring up Project Starline,
you can watch my video on Google IO 2021 to learn a bit more about that.
Plus, you’ll be able to adjust video lighting right from Google Meet with studio-quality
lighting options. Essentially, it’ll no longer matter if you’re in front of a window
or in a dark room, it’s just incredible. Google is continuing its progress with
Real Tone on the Pixel and extending that to this technology over on Google Meet.
Lastly, let’s talk about some crucial updates to Google Translate.
I’m such a huge fan of Google Translate, and this is big.
Using advances in machine learning, Google has basically developed a new way to translate,
which is really helpful for languages where there isn’t enough publicly available bilingual text.
Google has developed a monolingual learning method where machine learning
can translate a new language without ever actually having seen a translation of it.
Can you even believe the world we are living in? This future is here. It is now.
With this being said, Google is adding 24 new languages to Google Translate.
These languages combined are spoken by more than 300 million people. Just remarkable.
So of course, there are announcements from Google IO I didn’t include in today’s video,
like improved Google assistant conversations, Google Wallet, new AR smart glasses which could
very well change the world, and so much more. So, I’m linking to the full Google I/O 2022 video
for you, should you want to rewatch it in all its glory.
