Google has announced the launch of its new device Pixel 8a, which has some of the latest state-of-the-art features. Now, the tech company is looking to India as a manufacturing base for its smartphones with an investment running into billions of dollars. The manufacturing would be done in the state of Tamil Nadu with Taiwanese manufacturing giant Foxconn.
This would be the outcome of the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme run by the government of India, which has turned out to be highly successful in wooing global manufacturers, and Google is all set to become the newest manufacturer in this list.
The Pixel phones are known for their advanced artificial intelligence (AI) features, which include features like Gemini and Circle to Search. The 'Best Take' tool, powered by Google AI, ensures that every group photo is perfect through the user's ability to choose the best expressions from a series of shots to create the perfect group picture. Further, Google AI helps to enhance video quality by reducing unwanted background noise like traffic or construction sounds with the Audio Magic Eraser feature; this makes it easier to focus on the sounds one wants to hear.
Google's new 'Magic Editor' is a powerful photo editing tool, run by generative AI with intuitive tools and suggestions that can let users revolutionize the way one edits. Gemini is a reimagined digital generative artificial intelligence companion. It increases efficiency and creativity by utilising the most of Google's AI capabilities. Users can use Gemini to seek help with chores via any method of communication, such as talking, texting, or even sharing images.The 'Circle to Search' feature lets you search from any screen or app on your phone in a natural and simple way.
Sustainability is at the heart of the Pixel 8a, which is made with at least 24% recycled material by weight—the most recycled content in any A-series device to date. Further, the Pixel 8a is the first A-series device that will get seven years of operating system and security updates, so the device always remains secure and updated. Parents use the Family Link app for parental controls that are easy to use to control their family's digital activities.
