Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL Official Unveiling By TWiT Tech Podcast Network

This is tweets. I want to talk about our work, to bring a more helpful smartphone experience to more people. A core element of googles mission is to make technology more available and accessible for everyone and Sunday said it earlier. We need to ensure that technology benefits the many, not just the few, but there's been a really troubling trend in the smartphone industry to support the latest technologies. Everyone's high-end phones are getting more and more expensive, so we challenged ourselves to see if we could optimize our software and AI to work great on more affordable Hardware. So we can deliver these high-end experiences at a more accessible price point.

I want to introduce you to the newest members of the pixel family, Google, pixel, 3a and 3a Excel, designed to deliver premium features at a price. People will love our suspects, for this were accidentally leaks yesterday, suppose it prices. We didn't compromise on the capabilities and performance you'd expect from a premium device, which is why we branded them pixel. They start at just 399 dollars. That was the rumor.

It's about half the price, half the price, to about twice the press of a G's. To tell you more about how we did it: okay, yeah! How many of the camera features? Will they port down to it? I think that levering premium features with high performance on a phone at this price point, it's been a huge engineering challenge, and I'm really proud of what our team has been able to accomplish with Pixel 3a. So, let's start with the design, Pixel 3a follows the design language of the pixel family. The familiar two-tone look smooth finish your period of economic unibody design. It feels good in your hand, and it looks beautiful.

Pixel 3a comes in three colors, just black, clearly white and a new color purple fish, or is it not pink music? Your podcasts, they sound great in premium stereos' Pixel 3a supports Bluetooth, 5.0 and USB-C digital audio, and we've also included a 3.5 millimeter audio jack. Well, that's interesting back down on the people want more headphone option yep, but what pixel is really known for us. It seems that the guy who wanted it. Thank you, sir. Whoever your software optimizations, we found a way to bring our exclusive camera features and our industry-leading image quality into Pixel 3a.

So photos look stunning in any light same sensor, 12 megapixel smartphone cameras try to do with expensive hardware. We can deliver with software and AI, including high-end computational photography. So here's what that means. Pixel 3a, can take amazing nitrite sites. It's one of pixels, most popular features.

We've also enabled pixels portrait mode on both the front and rear cameras, and our super resume applies computational photography. So you can get closer to your subject while still maintaining a high degree of resolution and all of your beautiful photos are backed up for free in high quality with Google photos. Pixel 3ei also has the helpful features. You'd expect in a pixel just squeeze the sides of your phone to bring up the Google Assistant, we're using the AI in pixel 3 a to help manage your phone calls too I'm pretty sure we all hate getting robocalls and calls screen, uses Google speech, recognition and natural language processing to help you filter out those eyes. You've been selected for it.

All-Expenses-Paid trip to Hawaii. Now you might remember. Last year we shared our vision for using AR in Google Maps, starting today on pixel phones, when you use walking directions instead of staring at that blue dot on your phone you're going to see arrows in the real world to tell you where to turn next, they promise this a year ago. This is shipping route, yes, beginning our journey with AR and maps, and we're really excited for pixel users to experience this early preview battery life. It's one of the most important features on a smartphone.

It makes sense. People need to know that their phone won't quit on them. Before the end of their day, Pixel 3a has adaptive battery uses machine learning to optimize, based on how you use your phone, so you can get up to 30 hours on a single charge and with you, skeptical you'll get up to seven hours of battery-life with just 15 minutes of charging. Pixel 3 doesn't compromise on security either it's got the same, comprehensive approach as pixel 3. On the hardware side, our Titan M security chip protects your sensitive data on the device like login credentials, disk encryption, app data and OS integrity.

On the software side, you get the latest Google security patches and updates for three years, including Android Q this summer. So instead of getting slower and less secure over time, your pixel gets better with every update. We think this hyper coat provides the strongest data protection and, in a recent Gartner report, pixel scored the highest for built-in security among smartphones. Pixel 3ei offers the complete pixel experience, and we're proud to make it available and affordable to more people around the world. Verizon has been a great partner over the past two and a half years in the US, and we're excited to be partnering with them again for the launch of Pixel 3a and for the first time we're expanding our US carrier partnerships.

So the entire pixel family is now available for sale at T-Mobile, Sprint and US Cellular and, of course, Google. Five can also get Pixel 3a from the Google store and use it on any US carrier, including Google 5 and AT&T pixel. Three, a and three AXL are available in 13 markets, starting today you can find more details online at the Google store. We're really excited to have you, try it out.
