Google always likes to highlight the cameras on their Pixel line, and this year is no exception, since both models have a dual camera setup for the first time ever. To be more specific, they now feature a 16MP telephoto sensor and the standard 12MP main camera. There’s even a face unlock system that uses an IR grid projected onto the user’s face, in which the two cameras view in 3D to authenticate the user.
Motion Sense, a Soli-powered air gesture, function enables users to wave their hand over the device to perform actions, like skipping music tracks, silence alarms, or answer phone calls. Yes, it will also have the next-generation Google Assistant, complete with new speech recognition and language understanding models, bringing 100GB of models in the cloud down to less than half a gigabyte. This means voice processing with nearly zero latency and transcription that happens in real-time, even with no network connection.
