Video advertising Pixel 4.
Google doesn’t want users and tech circles to be "blind" to rumors about their smartphones and starting this year, the Mountain View-based company has decided to provide information about Pixel phones. long before the official disclosure.
There is a lot of interest for the upcoming Pixel 4 and Google thinks there is a way to increase the attention on its flagship, revealing information about the device.
On July 29, the company revealed details about the technology behind the new Pixel 4 features: face unlocking and gesture control. In a blog post, Google explained that the feature is working on Soli, a motion sensor radar commonly used to detect aircraft and other large objects.
Google minimizes radar used to detect aircraft
Google successfully created a miniature version of motion radar and placed it next to the Pixel 4, making it possible to perceive the smallest movement. With the help of unique software algorithms and advanced hardware, the Pixel 4 can recognize gestures and detect when users are near.
According to Google, the Pixel 4 will be the first smartphone to feature Soli, the new Motion Sense feature that will allow users to skip songs, alarms and mute phone calls just by waving. Google also mentioned that Motion Sense will be available in each country.
The camera system is quite complicated and Google’s feat on the Pixel 4 line.
Next, face unlocking is another new feature to the Pixel 4. Thanks to Soli, the Pixel 4 will recognize the user’s face and unlock it in a more reasonable way. The current technology in the phone will usually require the user to lift the phone, the face of the person who needs to face the screen and wait for it to unlock. However, the Pixel 4 will turn on the face unlock sensor when you reach the phone, realizing that users may want to unlock it. In the case of software algorithms and unlock sensors that recognize the user, the phone opens immediately when selected, all of which occur in one motion.
Furthermore, Google claims that the Pixel 4’s face unlock feature will work in almost every direction, no matter how you hold the phone. In addition, users will be able to use it for secure payment and application authentication. In terms of accuracy, Google said that the Pixel 4 could only recognize its owner, without any intrusion.
Face unlock feature is safer than ever
Another important thing revealed by Google is the safety of the face unlock feature. The "giant" search announced its face unlock using the face recognition technology that processes images directly on the phone and the data collected never leaves the Pixel 4.
Furthermore, all images used for face unlocking are not saved or shared with other Google services, instead, everything is stored in the phone’s Titan M security chip. And yet, all Soli sensor data processed on the Pixel 4 will not be saved or shared with other Google services.
Although both of the revealed features are no longer new to the smartphone industry, it seems that Google’s approach will make a difference. In theory, face unlocking is a way to open a smartphone faster than a fingerprint sensor, but is only feasible when the technology works like Google described in the ad.
Google said the Pixel 4 will be officially introduced in the fall and experts predict it will be "released" in October. So Google has plenty of time to reveal more new features that are available. in my flagship.
