I Tried Pixel 11’s New Gemini Features. One Made Me Sound Fluent in Spanish
Exclusive: I stopped by Google’s HQ to demo the Pixel 11’s new AI features and hear from the people who brought them to life.
I recently tested Google's new Gemini Intelligence features on the Pixel 11 Pro XL. One feature that particularly impressed me was the Live Translate function, which translated a YouTube video I was reviewing in real-time. This allowed me to understand the Spanish speaker, even though my Spanish is not fluent. Apart from Live Translate, the Pixel 11 Pro XL also introduced several other Gemini Intelligence features.
Among them, Magic Capture is a camera app feature that automatically selects the best shots by analyzing the scene. Another useful tool is Rambler, which removes filler words like "um" and "uh" from voice-to-text transcription. This made my improvised dinner plans sound much more coherent than my actual speech did. Moreover, when someone texts you a restaurant suggestion, you can now tap "Circle to Search" to get more information about it without leaving the chat.
This feature can also be used to quickly share your flight information. Lastly, Google introduced SL2T, a sign-language-to-text translation model that allows deaf people to communicate via sign language on their phones.
