When Apple introduced Wireless AirPods, many California apple fans began to worry about the fact that one of the small earphones without cables was lost. Google has solved it by reaching out to the common string to join the two pieces together. His newly introduced Pixel Buds are, however, considerably more than just some high-end earphones with good sound and wireless connectivity.
One of the many newcomers from the Internet giant can almost instantly translate spoken words into up to 40 different languages. For a user this means that if he happens to be at the other end of the planet, he will not be as lost as without them and without knowing a particular foreign language. The only downside is the need to have a smartphone powered by Android in the version of Nougat and higher. Otherwise, we will not be able to help with the translation.
Google Pixel Buds needs to get a wireless access to Google Assistant (similar to Siri) with artificial intelligence that can also alert you to notifications from the smartphone, or give it the same way of navigating.
Activation of a live translator is done by saying phrases, such as "help me speak French", after which the required functionality automatically starts, says the CNBC news site. So if anyone near him speaks French, he will hear a translation in his own language right in his ears. The answer is exactly the same, but it comes out of the phone speaker.
There are also touch keys on the side of one of the buttons, for example, to control the volume, to switch songs or to stop playback. Connectivity is via Bluetooth, the battery lasts for 5 hours of continuous use, and charging runs through a small box to which it stays. It has a USB C port including its own juice. Built-in battery pack offers 620 mAh capacity, while the headphone battery capacity reaches only 120 mAh.
The Pixel Buds sale will begin in November with a price tag of $ 159.
