IT Home reported on August 14 that Google released a new generation of Pixel 9 series phones today, which are fully equipped with its own AI technology Gemini and launched a series of new AI functions. At the press conference, Google took the opportunity to make a sarcastic remark about Apple's Apple Intelligence.


Like Apple Intelligence, Gemini also uses local processing. However, Google emphasizes that Gemini can handle complex queries independently without relying on third-party AI services.This statement is clearly a reference to Apple's plan to integrate ChatGPT into Siri.Google said that Gemini is deeply integrated with Google applications and the Android system and can independently handle complex queries.There is no need to rely on third-party AI providers that users may be unfamiliar with or distrust.

In contrast, Apple plans to use ChatGPT to achieve functions such as text generation and image creation, while its existing Siri and Image Playground have limited capabilities. It is rumored that Apple also plans to integrate Gemini into the iPhone, allowing users to choose their favorite AI services.


IT Home noticed that Google's new Pixel device has many innovative AI features, including an image generator called Pixel Studio, which uses a local diffusion model to generate stickers and images based on text prompts, similar to Apple's Image Playground. In addition, AI can also edit photos, add objects that did not originally exist, and be used to generate customized weather reports. The camera app has added a new feature that can merge two photos so that the photographer can also appear in the group photo, and can also classify and remember the information in the screenshot. A feature called "Call History" is similar to Apple's call recording function, which can record and summarize the content of the call.

Google also launched Gemini Live for the Pixel 9 series phones and matching headphones, allowing users to have free and smooth conversations with Gemini.
