Google Pixel 7, Pixel Tablet and all the software news from this year’s Google I/O

Google I/O this year has been full of new features, and what Android has done in the more than two hours that this event lasted is to bombard us with a huge amount of new features. Not only did they decide to put all the meat in the roast at the software level, they also did it at the hardware level..

New products were spotted during the event, such as the Google Pixel 6a, which will be part of a family where the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are the heads of the family. In addition, we were also able to spot the company’s first smartwatch and new noise-canceling headphones.

It may seem that the surprises should end there, but the truth is that Google also showed what awaits us at the end of summer and the beginning of the year. Yes, They have revealed the design of the Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, but that’s not all, as they have stated that they will be returning to the tablet sector..

Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, the top ones that will appear in the fall

They showed little on the technical level of these two devices. What has been spotted are a couple of images where the back of both terminals can be seen. The design in both cases retains the aesthetic lines noted so far.albeit with a rather interesting change on a material level.

Now the horizontal camera module on the back of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will be metal. The choice of material was made to be able to use a large percentage of recycled material. The arrangement of the lenses remains the same: three for the model with the surname Pro and two for the regular model.

Google Pixel Tablet, return to the tablet sector

Google’s return to tablets confirmed once and for all. The truth is that this move by Google has been rumored a lot by the sight of leaks in which the Android interface has been adapted for screens much larger than a phone, even a foldable one.

The Google Pixel tablet will be the first Mountain View tablet in seven years.. Of course, this was noticed even less than in the case of the new Google mobile phones. In fact, they only showed the corner. But this is more than enough to start the train of expectations.

Say goodbye to Google Pay and hello to Google Wallet

Google Pay is saying goodbye, but not for good, as it has been transformed into Google Wallet.. The Mountain View move will go official this summer and aims to compete directly with Apple Wallet by integrating a number of new features.

Firstly, it will become a full-fledged digital wallet with support for credit or debit cards, but also for boarding passes for planes or public transport. Of course, this is not the only change, since in the future it is assumed that the driver’s license will be stored there.

My ad center controls the ads you see

The strangest novelty that was commented on at today’s event comes from My Ad Center.. This new feature will come in the form of an app that will be available on the android app store. On a general level, what has been said about this app is that it will be used to manage ads.

And that’s what this app is trying to achieve, is that users have control over the ads that appear on their mobile phones. Thus, users will be able to configure advertisers among others.. It is rather strange to think that the user will be able to choose what to show in his ad.

Google Maps debuts with an immersive look

The maps app is still a big deal for the Android company, and you can see that by looking at the level of updates it gets every year. New to Google Maps is Immersive View, or “Immersive View” in its original name in English.. Come on, we will completely immerse ourselves in the cities and buildings.

Now you can get to know the cities perfectly thanks to the new bird’s eye view, as well as the interior of places such as restaurants. And that’s what during the presentation it was perfectly clear what the restaurant is like inside. There is no specific launch date, but it will appear in some cities during 2022.

Google Assistant is now smarter

One of the most popular announcements during Google I/O was the fact that Google’s smart assistant will now be much smarter and, above all, much more natural when it comes to starting a conversation. Actually, the “Ok Google” startup phrase is no longer required to launch the Mountain View wizard..

Yes, at the moment what Google has commented is that the feature is coming to the Nest Hub Max and in English.. They have not announced anything about whether it will arrive or be available to users in other countries. We’ll have to wait to see how it works and is implemented in other languages.

24 new languages ​​for Google Translate

Google Translate is one of the most used apps and services around the world. It has an impressive number of languages, but this does not mean that they all exist. Actually, those from Mountain View made it clear that not all languages ​​are there and so they just added 24 new languages.

The new additions are languages ​​spoken by up to 25 million people in some cases. The most notable example is Assamese, which is spoken in the state of Assam in northeast India, where it is spoken by 25 million people.

Finally, it was impossible not to notice the Google I/O star. And that’s what The second beta of Android 13 is now available to many users. In fact, not only Google devices can enjoy it. Both realme and OnePlus and OPPO will be able to access it on compatible terminals.
