The new Recorder app uses speech recognition and AI to transcribe lectures, meetings, interviews and more—and makes them easy for you to find later. (English only right now, with more languages to come.) #madebygoogle pic.twitter.com/fdKRItuS4b

On stage: “While ultrawide is fun, we feel telephoto is more useful” .... I feel personally attacked

#NightSight already helps you take beautiful photos in the dark. Now you can use it for shots of the night sky.🌙✨ Coming to Pixel 3a and Pixel 3 as well as #pixel4. #madebygoogle pic.twitter.com/o4bORnPc6j

Dumping the notch took #courage (though presumably @madebygoogle didn't have room with all the new sensors). The single best thing about motion sense radar is faster face unlock IMO. I look forward to a better screen, but of course the camera is the top item on my list. https://t…

The Pixel 4's new auto-transcribing voice recorder looks like a killer app for journalists, and bad news for the companies that want us to pay for transcriptions. pic.twitter.com/la9GQh7kw0

Pixel 4 has big emphasis on cameras as expected but no Ultra-wide 😕 I'm super excited for proper Telephoto Portraits (you guys know I love my 50mm equivalent Portraits) but come on, the competition have all 3 cameras (Primary, Telephoto and Ultra-wide) pic.twitter.com/JURjkTKL9…

Google running down the list of Pixel 4 camera features: “And a flash that we hope you'll use mostly as a flashlight.” I'm dying.

With a great camera, the new Google Assistant built in, and Motion Sense, #pixel4 is designed to be helpful throughout your day. Bonus: it gets better with every update → http://goo.gle/2VGZRE9 #madebygoogle pic.twitter.com/b2pRzczOza

Google: It's cute that others have picked up night sight features. We can take photos of galaxies now. Suck it, Apple.

Google throwing some shade on Apple's wide-angle camera lens. “While wide angle can be fun, we think telephoto is more important.” To be fair, the iPhone has had a telephoto lens for a while. The Pixel 4 finally gets one #madebygoogle

“we're doing better on hair and dog fur” is exactly the kind of extremely incremental update I crave in a major tech keynote

Pixel 4 camera: telephoto capabilities (don't crop, pinch-to-zoom and take photo), live HDR+ (signature look while composing photo in real-time), dual-exposure controls for HDR, white balancing (truer colors in tricky lighting), portrait mode (SLR bokeh) #madebygoogle

Pixel 4 and 4 XL hands-on time. Google is doing more with the Pixel than it ever has before: high refresh rate screen, new Assistant, face unlock, and radar. That's four things — plus a new design and hopefully the camera is good. It's a lot! https://www.theverge.com/... https://…

Google Assistant is super advanced, but talking to your phone out loud is still incredibly obnoxious. Just type silently like the rest of us please
@thurrott Paul Thurrott on x
I wonder what Assistant usage really is on phone. I bet it's low. They're really pushing this.

Really hope that Google releases this app as a standalone app as well https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

My quick hands-on with the new Pixel Buds — just the hardware though, the demo units here don't work yet. Seems like a solid AirPods competitor but nothing makes me sad like platform-specific features. And not out until spring. (Video incoming) https://www.theverge.com/...
