That's a Wrap
Phew, after a host of product announcements, the Google Pixel 2 launch has finally come to an end. We had expected the Pixel phones, Pixelbook and the Home Mini, but the Home Max and a slew of other products were definitely a few surprises that Rick Osterloh talked about.
Stay tuned for more on the Google Pixel 2 XL launch in India with The Quint.
Hello, Google Clips
Another Pixel-centric product is Google Clips. This is a small, almost palm-sized remote-operated camera, which clips on to more objects than just clothes.
This one is priced at $249 and don’t think it will be coming to our shores anytime soon.
Pixel 2 Gets Music Love
Pixel 2 also gets a wireless headset accessory for high-quality music called Pixel Buds. With these headsets, you can even speak to another person in a different language, including Hindi, which gets translated via Google Assistant. Now, that is useful.
Pixel Buds gets bundled with a charging case, and Google claims, the device can offer a battery life of 7 hours on a single charge.
Google Talks Daydream
Daydream will get more content from YouTube VR and Google Play Movies later this year. Daydream View is priced at $99 this year.
