>> BRIAN: As the Pixel portfolio expands, the phone is at the
center of it all.
When we launched Pixel 6, we introduced the world to the
first phone powered by Google Tensor, using our advances in AI
to create a more helpful experience, with features and
capabilities you couldn’t get on any other phone.
Pixel has always been a leader in smartphone innovation, and we
take it as a compliment when others in the industry follow
our lead.
Like the always-on display and At a Glance, introduced with
Pixel 2, putting useful info right on your lock screen.
There’s Night Sight, which launched with Pixel 3, and
astrophotography, which set a new bar for low-light
photography on a smartphone.
And we introduced Car Crash Detection three years ago, along
with other important ways to keep you safe, like Safety Check
and Emergency Sharing.
It’s an amazing track record of pioneering features that were
first on Pixel, and make the phone experience so much more
helpful.
We even take a different approach in how we deliver our
latest innovations.
So much of the unique Pixel experience is software-defined,
which means that we can give your existing phone access to
new features and upgrades, so your Pixel stays useful longer.
That’s the idea behind Pixel Feature Drops.
Every few months, your phone gets new capabilities and
features, which means your Pixel gets even better over time.
And you'll be protected over time, too, with five years of security updates directly from
Google.
With a steady stream of Feature Drops and ongoing security
updates, Day One with your Pixel phone is just the first of many
best days to come.
Speaking of Day One, I’m excited to show you the new standard for
smartphones.
Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.
They take all the helpfulness and personal intelligence people
love about Pixel, and make them even better.
Pixel 7’s improvements start with the looks.
This is the ultimate refinement of Pixel, simplifying the parts
and construction to make a phone that’s sophisticated and
distinct.
Pixel 7 has a silky matte finish on the aluminum camera bar and
housing with three camera colors, three color options.
It features a sharp 6.3-inch display, with smaller bezels and
25 percent higher peak brightness, for incredible
outdoor visibility during the day.
Pixel 7 also includes a great all-day battery, with up to 72
hours between charges when you use extreme battery saver mode.
In terms of camera, it sports a dual rear camera system, as well
as an upgraded, ultrawide front-facing camera with a
larger sensor for better night time selfies, and stunning 4K
video.
And we’re taking the Pixel lineup to new heights with Pixel
7 Pro.
It’s our most advanced phone yet, with a beautiful,
sophisticated design and a pro-level camera, with
performance to match.
You can see the premium polished aluminum finish on the camera
bar and housing, which complements its three colors.
Pixel 7 Pro has an upgraded, super-sharp 6.7-inch display.
With its variable refresh rate, you get responsive gaming and
smooth scrolling, without killing your battery.
Pixel 7 Pro has a triple rear camera system featuring upgraded
telephoto and ultrawide cameras.
Its front-facing ultrawide camera is great for low-light
selfies, videos, and more.
And the front camera has another role to play.
Pixel 7 and 7 Pro’s front camera uses our advanced machine
learning models for face recognition, to power Face
Unlock.
So you have the faster, more secure under-display fingerprint
reader, and now you have the convenience of unlocking your
phone with a glance.
You heard Rick speak earlier about the new Tensor G2
chip, our powerful new processor inside Pixel 7 and 7 Pro.
Our next-generation chip includes a dedicated TPU, so we
can bring Google’s state-of-the-art AI and personal
intelligence directly to the phone.
And the entire Tensor G2 chip has been designed to ensure
every major sub-system works really well together, to handle
the complex and nuanced nature of Google's most innovative
software and ML capabilities.
So now, machine learning runs up to 60% faster and up to 20% more
efficiently on Pixel 7 and 7 Pro.
Tensor G2’s design also helps lower the power consumption for
everyday phone activities, like recording videos, streaming
music, speech recognition, and translating conversations.
And Tensor G2 makes your smartphone smarter, enabling all
kinds of technological breakthroughs and magically
helpful experiences.
With Tensor G2 at its core, Pixel 7 is the best smartphone
for voice assistance.
It's the best phone for calling.
It’s the best phone for photography.
And as you heard from Jen, it's the most secure and private Pixel we've ever made.
Let’s start with voice assistance.
Google’s industry-leading understanding of human language
and speech powers our most helpful voice experience with new
capabilities on Pixel 7 and Pro, thanks to Tensor G2.
When your phone understands your voice, it opens up so many more
possibilities, translating conversations with Live
Translate, asking Google Assistant endless questions,
navigating directly to apps without tapping, and easily
sending messages.
Take Assistant voice typing, which is on average two and a half times faster
than using a keyboard.
On Pixel 7, Assistant voice typing will automatically
suggest relevant emojis to insert, and it’s much more
forgiving now in case you don't know the exact name of the emoji
you’re looking for.
So saying something like "happy emoji" gets you what you want.
But that’s an easy one.
What about “upside down face emoji,” or “heart eyes cat
emoji,” or “woohoo emoji.”
[Laughter] Speaking to your phone can be so
much more convenient, but listening isn’t always an option
When you’re on the receiving end.
Ever get an audio message when you’re in a quiet place without
headphones?
It’s frustrating, right?
Well, Pixel 7 can now use Google's advanced speech
recognition model to transcribe your audio messages right in the
Messages app, so you can quickly skim them.
And when it comes to your text messages, Pixel uses RCS for
enhanced media sharing and end-to-end encryption.
RCS is the modern industry standard for messaging, and it’s
already been adopted by most of the industry.
We hope every device maker gets the message and adopts RCS,
making texting better for every smartphone user.
And if there are any reporters in the crowd, you’ll be happy to
hear that the Recorder app on Pixel 7 is getting speaker
labels later this year.
So instead of a single transcript of your meeting or
interview, on-device speech models will separate the
speakers for you.
Now, what about phone calls?
Between spammers, customer service phone menus, and bad
audio quality, phone calls can be such a hassle.
So Pixel 7 is designed to be the best phone for actual phone
calling.
Pixel devices are the only phones with Pixel Call Assist, a
suite of features that helps with everything from making
calls to avoiding them.
Like Call Screen, which automatically answers unknown
callers, asks who's calling, and filters out spammers, based on
what they say, without ever interrupting you.
Our users tell us Call Screen is one of their favorite Pixel
features.
And for good reason.
It handled over 600 million calls for users last year.
And when you call a business, Direct My Call can help you
navigate their phone directories without having to listen and
re-listen to a list of options.
Since launching Direct My Call last year, it's helped Pixel
users navigate over 50 million calls with businesses.
With Pixel 7, the direct my call experience gets even easier.
Instead of listening to a long recorded message describing each
option, you'll see a list of menu options right away.
You can tap the option you want, even before it's spoken.
Your phone should also make your phone calls sound better.
Coming in a feature drop later this year, Clear Calling will
make it even easier to hear the other person at the other end of the line.
Just like the acclaimed background noise suppression on
Pixel Buds Pro, Clear Calling uses machine learning to
recognize, isolate and eliminate distracting sounds like wind and
traffic noise, while enhancing your caller's voice.
So your friends can call you from anywhere, and you'll be
able to hear them just fine.
The suite of Pixel Call Assist features is the perfect example
of Tensor G2 and Google's state-of-the-art AI coming
together in Pixel 7 to deliver an elevated smartphone
experience.
And as you've seen over the years what our AI can do for a smartphone camera.
Pixel Camera is what the phone is famous for, and it's once
again been rated as the best smartphone camera in the
Industry.
[NEW] >> BRIAN: So that's Pixel 7 and
