Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro have a new color. In addition, new artificial intelligence features. Google introduced three months after launch new green version of its flagships, which arrives along with what the company calls Pixel drop; a package of new functions that comes to terminals through a software update.
Google has named the new color, joining the three already available, “mint.” Available in the same way as for the basic version.As for the Pro model, the mint-colored Pixel 8 and 8 Pro have exactly the same specs, as well as the same price, as the other variants. The novelty, then, lies only in the tone of the back, which is slightly greenish – depending on the lighting, it may even look somewhat whitish.
The terminal frames will also change color to green.; in this case brighter, creating a very good contrast with the back. IN Hypertext We were able to get a closer look at it ahead of the official launch, and the truth is that the color is very visually appealing. Google has also included a default theme with green elements such as icons or wallpapers.
These are the three new AI features coming to the Pixel 8.
The Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro in green are really getting the news. In fact, all color versions do this because it January Pixel Drop; software update coming out today with new artificial intelligence features.
One of them is Circle to search, a feature that we also see in the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and which allows you to search for any element appearing on the screen only by surrounding it. For example, if we’re watching a video and don’t know which sneakers appear in the scene, we just need to hold down the Start button, circle the sneakers, and wait for Google Search to do its job.
Another feature that Google Pixel 8 has is magic words in the messaging app. This characteristic makes generative AI capable of phrasing the message we write in different tones—formal, friendlier, more theatrical, etc.—. The company claims that this feature works on the device itself thanks to the Gemini nano language model.
Finally, Google has activated a new feature called Photomoji, which lets you turn photos into reactions using artificial intelligence. To do this, the user just needs to select a photo, react with an emoji, and artificial intelligence will turn the image into a kind of reaction emoji.
We reiterate that all these new features are coming to Pixel 8. via software update which has already begun to unfold. On the other hand, the mint-colored Pixel 8 and 8 Pro are now available on the Google Store for €1,099 and €799, respectively.
