When you wave your hand to Pikachu, you can turn around and move around without touching the screen, and finally one smartphone in the world has come out!
Google Pixel 4, a flagship smartphone equipped with radar for the first time. At the announcement event "Made by Google '19" held in NY, there were a lot of futuristic announcements. For those of you who said, "The landslide of the super typhoon isn't the case in Japan ..." and "The announcement was over when I noticed it."
Please watch the event digest video that shows the atmosphere of the venue in 12 minutes.

The new cloud gaming service "Stadia" that remains in history outside Japan will be delivered on November 19th. Finally, we have entered the announcement countdown system. "No need to replace hardware = eco" is pushed to the front, and the writer Kogure who rides the reprint boom is close to the ground.
Three rooms away, the threat of Bluetooth that connects from one end of the football field to the other is realized. It is an earpiece that supports Google Assistant and is operated by talking. The beamforming method and the accelerometer pick up the movement of the jawbone, improving the call quality. Goodbye, cord string. 4 colors (white, black, orange, mint). It will be released in the spring of 2020 for $ 179 (about 19,000 yen).
New release of Nest WiFi, which has twice the coverage of Google WiFi and 25% more coverage. Nest Aware, the cloud security that protects your home, is now priced at $ 6 a month. The successor model of the smart speaker Google Home Mini will be released on the 26th under the new name "Nest Mini". 49 dollars (about 5,300 yen). The target countries are 23 countries including Japan.
In addition to black, this is also a light orange pink. Is it a trend color? With a wave body like a roof, it has excellent grip even in such a weightless space.
Battery is 12 hours. You can charge it by inserting it on either the left or right side. 16: 9 touch screen. A normal laptop with no spinning gimmicks. Built-in 8th generation Intel processor. Only Chrome OS can be used. The name GO was named after Pokémon Go and Surface Go.
It looks plastic, but it's actually magnesium. It doesn't need as much as aluminum and it's light. The keyboard is quieter than before, and it seems to be very easy to hit. Oh, I want to touch it. Well, it was a Chromebook that ended up smoothly at the event even though I had to write so much. From 649 dollars (about 70,000 yen).
Today's favorite Pixel 4. It was the biggest leak in history, and it was announced like a residue, but there were plenty of demos of aerial gestures that the world is paying attention to. Just hold your hand over your smartphone and it will be unlocked! He showed us the power of the new weapon Soli radar to the fullest. What if I wrote "...", what would it be for next spring !?
Radar I'm making noise with radar, but this is not a thing, it's a genuine radar, and an ultra-small version of a radar such as an airplane is on my smartphone! So, you can detect the movement with a radius of 60m. About 5 years ago, the ATAP team in the above video has been developing it as a Soli project (everyone talks secretly and feels like a radar).
Since it is a radar, you can perform delicate operations like a conductor in the air without touching the screen. At the event, he said that he could pick up even a little movement that he couldn't pick up with the camera, and that he would look ahead to his feelings.
It's still an ambiguous image, but it's an innovation that is incomparable to the third camera, and it's attracting attention as it may change how it is used, so anyway, smartphones loaded with such things are on the ground. It seems better to know that you were born in Japan.
Also, people who used Pixel 4 are gathering voices saying that it is difficult to unlock the face. The moment the eyes meet, it's all down. Was it unlocked while I brought it to my face? It seems that it is so impatient that it is not locked !? This is "The structure is different from Face ID, and only biometric authentication on the terminal side is used. Password lock, bank application, purchase authentication, etc. are not fingerprints, but this ecological authentication" (The Verge). I feel like I'm finally there ...
By the way, Pixel is a camera, but I couldn't get into the third youkai forest with a super wide-angle lens, and I was able to get a second telephoto and standard one until I got tired of it.
Night shooting that surprised the world The accuracy of Night Sight has been further enhanced, and even the starry sky can be taken so beautifully! The zoom performance has been improved by software processing, and it has evolved to a level where you can no longer tell whether it is crop or zoom.
The new dual correction is just a slider move, so even people who are not familiar with cameras can make corrections like a professional. I'm happy about this.
I also liked the function that automatically transcribes the voice while recording it. It's still only in English, but it's a feature that every reporter wants. I can talk to people who are deaf, and Japanese people who are not good at listening can understand it with letters. Since it can be processed locally, it can be used even in the mountains where radio waves do not reach. This is good.
Google Pixel 4 comes in three colors: white, black, and orange. Released on the 24th in the US (Japan undecided). It's a little cheaper, starting at $ 799 (about 87,000 yen)!

At the time of the first appearance, it was stated that "60Hz radio waves are caught by Japanese law", but the correct answer was "60GHz radio waves are caught by Japanese law". Correction and apologize to.
