3 Brand New Features of Google Pixel 9
1. Add Me
Function description : The Add Me feature is designed to ensure that everyone is in the photo. It is an upgraded version of the Best Take feature launched in the Pixel 8 series. The Best Take feature allows users to change the expressions of each person in the group photo and choose the best expression combination. The Add Me feature goes a step further, not only can you change the expression, but you can also merge people from different shots to ensure that everyone appears in the photo.
This means that if someone isn’t looking at the camera in one photo, or isn’t smiling, the Add Me feature can merge their best expression from another photo into the final group shot, ensuring everyone looks great in the photo.
2. Studio
Function description : The Studio feature is expected to be an integrated version of the previously discovered Creative Assistant app. Studio will be integrated into the Pixel’s screenshot editor app, allowing users to create and “remix” stickers. In addition to the sticker-making function, Studio may also have the ability to generate AI images, similar to Apple’s Image Playground.
This means that users can use Studio to create a variety of customized images and stickers to enhance their creative expression. In addition, Google has been developing its own image and video generation models, such as ImageFX and VideoFX, which may also be integrated into Studio to provide more powerful image and video generation capabilities.
3. Pixel Screenshots
Function description : Pixel Screenshots is similar to Microsoft’s Recall feature, but it focuses more on privacy protection. The Recall feature automatically captures all the user’s operations on the device and uses local AI to allow users to quickly find information. However, this has caused privacy issues, and Microsoft encountered a lot of controversy when it was launched.
Google Pixel 9: search screenshot
Google’s Pixel Screenshots feature is different, it only works for screenshots taken manually by users. When users take screenshots, the application adds additional metadata, such as the app name, web link, etc. These screenshots are then processed by local AI (expected to be the new Gemini Nano multimodal version), allowing users to search based on the screenshot content and ask questions to the robot. This implementation ensures user privacy because it does not automatically record all user operations and only processes content that users actively capture.
Storage and processing: Pixel Screenshots requires access to the user’s media files. Content saved to the app will be stored and processed on the device, including images, text, associated metadata, and AI-generated content.
Control of AI processing: Users can turn off AI processing for new screenshots through the settings in the Pixel Screenshots app. After turning it off, users can still take and view screenshots, but these screenshots will not be processed by AI and the information in them will not be searchable.
