In a groundbreaking move, Google has unveiled an advanced AI-powered multisearch feature in the United States, reshaping the way users engage with their mobile devices. The innovative Google AI multisearch feature is set to roll out on January 31. It caters to users of cutting-edge smartphones like the Google Pixel 8, Google Pixel 8 Pro, and the newly launched Samsung Galaxy S24 series.
Google Pixel 8 review: Big leap into AI makes it one-of-a-kind, but does it live up to expectations?
29.12.2023 - 13:53 / tech.hindustantimes.com / Ai
When Google launched its Google Pixel 8 lineup, the artificial intelligence wave was probably at its highest. The smartphone series, which has captured the loyalty of a particular consumer base due to its software-first approach and camera-centric functionalities, was expected to come with AI features that would underline its capabilities and the mood of the market. And Google does not generally miss opportunities.
From the moment I had the Google Pixel 8, I could see that the company had spent time polishing the device and making it more optimized than the previous generation. This year, Google did not experiment much in terms of design, but there are small improvements across the smartphone to make it surpass its predecessor.
However, there were two problems with the smartphone the way it was marketed and priced. First, it did not come with the ‘Pro' tag, which usually helps consumers identify the better smartphone, and usually has a stronger desire to purchase. The second was its price point. Starting at Rs. 75,999, it was Rs. 16000 more expensive than the Pixel 7, which came at Rs. 59,999. Not being the Pro model, while being significantly more expensive than its predecessor puts a big pressure on the Google Pixel 8 to deliver.
After spending a considerable amount of time with the smartphone, I find that the Pixel 8 does deliver on that tall expectation. Do not get me wrong, I would not claim it to be the best phone of the year, but it does a splendid job getting very close to that. That too, without being the Pro model. So, let us get down to the brass tacks and let us see what this phone offers.
Unlike the Pixel 7, which still made some big adjustments to its design, the Pixel 8 largely keeps things the same, except for its size, which is now a little smaller. You get the same striking visor to place its two cameras, an aluminum build, matte finish, and the rounded edges of its predecessor. However, since the design is still so unlike any other smartphone in the market, it definitely stands out.
But the difference is certainly there, hidden in the shadows. The Pixel 8 features a more compact smartphone and has larger cameras than before. The edges are also somewhat rounder, which adds to its more refined appearance. But be prepared that the camera visor still catches dust and lint, and it will require regular cleaning to make it look as stunning as it did when first unboxed. On the front, the bezels are now uniform and the chin is slightly thinner than before.
The sides of the smartphone get a muted gold rail which connects with the visor at the back. The front gets the protection of Gorilla Glass Victus, although it still gets scratched easily, so make sure to get tempered glass. There is no

"Lovecraftian Stone Age" town builder The Tribe Must Survive hits early access in February
Take the little boy with lancing white eyes from Playdead's Limbo, ruthlessly clone him a few dozen times (an extremely Playdead thing to do) and herd all the clones into a world redolent of Klei's Don't Starve, and you have something like The Tribe Must Survive. Developed by apparent Macbeth fans Walking Tree Games GmbH, and published by Starbreeze, it's a heavily horror-themed tribe management sim with a roguelike campaign loop, set in what the developers are calling the "Lovecraftian Stone Age", with flagrant disregard for my nerves. Does the Lovecraftian Stone Age feature any actual walking trees? We'll find out on February 22nd, when the game launches into early access.

Hands-on: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is huge, but doesn’t lose its heart
In 2020, the Yakuza series took a bit of a leap with its seventh entry, Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
