Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro launched in Mint colour

| @indiablooms | Jan 26, 2024, at 11:31 pm

IT major Google has confirmed it is launching Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro in a new Mint colour.

"Get yours through the Google Store or Google Fi Wireless," Google said in its blog.

Temperature feature

With Pixel 8 Pro's new medical feature in the Thermometer app, users can scan the foreheads with the phone to get an accurate body temperature measurement of the loved one.

"You can also easily save your results to your Fitbit profile for an even deeper understanding of your health and wellness," the blog post said.

The company said searching on the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro is getting easier with Circle to Search.

Available only on Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro and other compatible non-Pixel devices. Requires internet connection and compatible apps and surfaces. Results may vary depending on visual matches.

When will the feature go live?

Rolling out on Jan 31, Google AI unlocks a new way to search for anything on the phone, without needing to switch apps, the IT major said.

"Just long press the Pixel home button or navigation bar and circle, highlight, scribble or tap what you see to get more information from Search, right where you are. Use it to find what clothes a creator wore in a video or get extra help with a tough crossword clue," the company said.

Photomoji on Google Messages will allow users to transform favourite photos into reactions with the help of on-device Google AI.
