"Pro" phones are stupid.

Pixel 11 Pro's Negligible Upgrades [00:00:00]

• The Pixel 11 Pro offers minimal upgrades over the regular Pixel 11, making it one of the least exciting products at the Made By Google 2024 event.
• New AI features and accessibility improvements are highlighted, along with new ways to capture photos without focusing on the phone.
• The phones feature new Tensor processors and upgraded image processing for faster Night Shots.

  "the pixel 11 pro somehow managed to be one of the least exciting parts of the whole thing thanks to its negligible upgrades over the regular pixel 11."

RAM Downgrades and Price Hikes [00:01:00]

• Base models of the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL are downgraded to 12GB of RAM, requiring an extra $120 for the 16GB standard on last year's models.
• This RAM downgrade is coupled with an across-the-board price increase of $100.
• The cost of AI features is cited as the reason for the increased pricing.

  "what they don't no they don't the base model pixel 11 pro actually gets a downgrade compared to last year and if you want more you're going to have to pay more"

Pixel Tab and Phone Differences [00:02:00]

• Google introduces the Pixel Tab, a tracker similar to Apple's AirTag, utilizing Google's Find Hub network.
• The Pixel 11 non-pro receives a thinner camera bump and 256GB of storage standard, but with a price increase.
• The "highlight notification" LED array in the camera bar is a key differentiator for Pro models, replacing the temperature sensor.

  "it's an air tag but instead of interfacing with apple's find my network it interfaces with google's find hub network so totally different"

Camera and Screen Comparisons [00:04:00]

• The Pixel 11 Pro features higher resolution cameras, better zoom, and larger sensors for mobile photographers.
• Both phones offer smooth 120Hz displays, but the Pro's screen has a higher resolution and an adaptive refresh rate that can go down to 1Hz.
• The Pro model offers storage up to 1TB.

  "the pro features higher resolution cameras better zoom and larger sensors which will give mobile photographers the most flexibility"

Pixel Fold and Watch Updates [00:06:00]

• The new Pixel Fold boasts a redesigned hinge, increased durability with anti-impact film, and a new glass fiber composite back material.
• The outer screen is upgraded with ceramic cover glass, and the device starts at $1900.
• The Pixel Watch receives a processor upgrade and enhanced health monitoring software, including blood pressure and insulin resistance trend monitoring.

  "the most notable is a new hinge that gets rid of the gears and adds some extra layers of anti-impact film that google says make the phone three times stronger than the last gen model"

AI Software: Rambler and Gboard [00:08:00]

• "Rambler" is a new text-to-speech model that uses AI to summarize long, convoluted sentences.
• Gboard is being updated to work with sign language, transcribing signed input.
• Gemini integration aims to assist with tasks like making restaurant reservations or confirming flight information.

  "it's a text-to-speech model that can take a long convoluted sentence and use ai to summarize it while it's typing in a demo on google site someone vomits out this barely coherent bowl of word salad"

Camera Features: Magic Camera and Creator Suite [00:11:00]

• "Magic Camera" mode allows users to record video and extract the best-looking photos and clips from it.
• "Google Camera Looks" offer stylized photos, stacking fewer frames for a more natural HDR look.
• The "Creator Suite" in the camera app provides a teleprompter, vocal enhancement, and external mic level display for video creators.

  "magic camera is a new mode that lets you record a video and the magic camera assistant will pull the best looking photos and clips out of that longer video"

Performance and Image Processing [00:13:00]

• The new Tensor G6 chip improves image signal processing, making low-light Night Sight photos approximately four times faster.
• This speed improvement aims to reduce blur in photos of moving subjects.
• The Pixel 11 Pro models are expected to perform best due to larger sensors, with the regular 11 and 11 Pro Fold also seeing improvements over predecessors.

  "google has improved the image signal processing so now it can take low light night sight photos around four times faster than previous models"
