NEXUS PHONE WONT TURN ON SERIES
Quick Phrases (Pixel 6 Series Only): When the alarm goes off, you can just say “stop” or “snooze” instead of fumbling for your phone.
It understands when to send a message if you say “Send,” and commands like “Next” will move the cursor to the next paragraph. It's really fast, pretty accurate, and knows to automatically add punctuation. You can even turn on Now Playing History, in case you forgot to write down an artist's name when you saw it earlier.Īssistant Voice Typing (Pixel 6 Series Only): Tap the mic button on Google's Gboard keyboard and you'll be privy to the much-improved voice typing experience enabled by the Tensor chip. This isn't turned on by default, so head to Settings > Sound and Vibration > Now Playing and toggle it on. It doesn't require an internet connection, so there's no data shared between you and Google. It uses on-device machine learning to figure out what the music is in your background, and it will display the artist and title on the lock screen (or in your notifications). Now Playing: Ever hear a song at the coffee shop and wonder who it's by? We may not be at coffee shops much these days, but this is still one of the more helpful features you didn't know you wanted.
NEXUS PHONE WONT TURN ON DOWNLOAD
If the video is in a different language, you can even see it translated (only on Pixel 6), though you'll need to download one of the four supported languages. You can quickly toggle this on by tapping one of the volume buttons and tapping on the square button below the volume slider (or head to Settings > Sound & vibration > Live Caption). Live Caption: Pixels can automatically transcribe any video playing on the screen.
NEXUS PHONE WONT TURN ON SKIN
It's a shame it's taken this long, but a phone that doesn't drown my face in shadow or change the tone of my skin is one that'll stay in my pocket.
The difference, especially when compared to the iPhone 13, is astounding, as you can see in my review. Google worked with image-makers to improve the camera's image processing for people with darker skin tones, tweaking exposure and colors to achieve more accurate skin tones.
Tensor also plays a big factor in the Pixel 6's image and video capture quality, with the latter showing a significant improvement over previous Pixel phones.īut my favorite Pixel 6 feature is Real Tone. Magic Eraser can detect items in the background of your photos that you might want to erase, like trash cans, and will remove them with minimal artifacts. Assistant voice typing, for example, uses a more powerful speech-to-text natural language processing model and essentially makes it much more accurate and faster to voice dictate with Google's keyboard app.
It's a custom processor from Google designed to handle sophisticated machine learning algorithms, meaning it enables even smarter features than ever before. The Tensor chip is what makes these Pixels unique. These are two very big phones, so if you have small hands, you might struggle to comfortably hold and use them. The only things I don't like much on both are the in-display fingerprint sensor, which can sometimes take a few tries to unlock the phone, and the lack of variety in size.
