今年Google IO有幾個重點,分別是大家最在意的是Pixel家族的中階手機、Android Q、數位助理、Google Lens等服務,其中剛剛發表的Google Pixel 3a與Pixel 3a XL確定台灣在首發名單,現在就能立刻下單。Pixel 3a系列算是先前Pixel 3的平價版本,硬體規格稍微下降但夜拍能力一樣很出色,且同樣能擁有無限容量的Google Photos相簿空間,光是這雲端空間費用就夠你省下一大筆。最後也是Pixel 3沒有的特色,那就是支援3.5mm耳機孔,不用再煩惱要買USB Type-C耳機了。

Pixel 3有的服務Pixel 3a全都有

Pixel 3先前有的3大特色:夜拍能力、無限Google Photos相簿空間、最即時的系統更新,這些Pixel 3a全都有。先從夜拍能力來說,Google官方的展示圖來看,夜拍能力優於iPhone X,就算低光源的環境也能拍出清晰且明亮的照片。多數相機到靠的是多鏡頭的拍攝,而Pixel 3a靠的是Google強大的機器學習能力,透過AI幫你拍出最漂亮的夜拍照。

另一方面,隨著手機拍照的普及,人們拍照頻率與相片尺寸也越來越大,Pixel 3a的優勢之一就是支援無限容量的Google Photos相簿空間,能讓你原尺寸上傳照片,且不占用你任何的雲端空間容量。這也是其他手機所無法提的優勢,如果你是經常用雲端空間備份照片的人,這幾年下來的相片空間費用就省下不少錢了。

最後是系統更新,由於是Google自家推出的手機,因此在Android系統更新上永遠是第一波更新,絕對比起合作廠商還要快。除了Android之外,其餘Google服務像是數位助理、Google Maps、YouTube等相關服務,也能第一時間獲得更新,親兒子就是有這樣的特權。

▲無限的Google Photos相簿空間,可以上傳原尺寸相片。

稍降的硬體規格但給3.5mm

Pixel 3a與Pixel 3a XL硬體規格相同,差異在於電池前者是3000mAh,後者則是3700mAh。處理器方面都是使用Qualcomm Snapdragon 670,搭配4GB LPDDR4與64GB的儲存空間,不論Pixel 3a與Pixel 3a XL都是單一規格,不像是Pixel 3有容量版本可選。不過相較於國外有黑、白、紫3種顏色,台灣只有黑白可選,是比較可惜之處。

比較特別的是,這次Google讓Pixel 3a有了3.5mm耳機孔,這是Pixel 3所沒有的設計,對於多數人來說應該算是個明顯的優點。

台灣首發售價14500元

台灣這次是手機的首發國家,且手機現在已經可以在Google Store下單,Pixel 3a與Pixel 3a XL台灣售價為14500元、17100元,相較於美國售價399美元、479美元稍貴一些。現在購買手機會送原廠布質手機殼,不過依照Pixel 3的經驗來看,隨著節日可能會有不少次的特價,而且特價幅度並不小,要入手可以趁著特價買會比較划算。

Android Q:第十版機器人系統 Android Q 將支援更豐富螢幕設計、原生 5G 支援、黑暗模式

Google IO 每年的重點,也包括預告新一代 Android 作業系統的功能,今年也將邁入第十版的 Android 、代號 Android Q 。

而在今年的 I/O 大會, Google 強調 Android 設備持續的創新與多元化, Android Q 也將針對摺疊手機的特性,原生針對螢幕摺疊的使用型態,加入更自然無縫的螢幕切換能力,同時也將在系統中原生 5G 通訊支援。

同時,透過結合 AI 的離線語音辨識功能,未來 Android Q 甚至可在錄製影片時透過即時語音轉文字的辨識產生即時字幕,而拍攝者亦可在畫面中調整字幕位置, Google 強調這樣的功能僅須透過 80MB 的語音辨識模型包(註:英文辨識的情境下),另外, Android Q 也會強化裝置上的自主 AI 學習機能。

此外, Android Q 也將強化手勢導航功能,以下方的細條取代過往的虛擬三鍵,透過手勢方式進行功能的操作,另外也提供全新的 Dark Mode ,除了有助於在黑暗中的閱讀,也有助於如 OLED 顯示器的螢幕省電。

安全性也是 Android Q 持續強化的重點,未來 Android OS Framework 可透過 OTA 方式、不需要重新啟動,即可達到相容性、安全性與隱私的修正。

另一項新功能 Focus Mode (暫時稱為專注模式)則不僅會在 Android Q 上,亦會導入 Android P 系統, Focus Mode 可讓使用者設定那些 app 是重要的、哪些次要的 app 可能會影響專注力,在進行需要專注、擔心分心或是打擾的情況,例如閱讀文件、小說或是觀賞影片時,只要打開 Focus Mode ,即可讓次要的 app 仍處於類似勿擾模式、但設定為重要的 app 仍可跳出提示。

同時, Google 也持續強化家長監控功能,可監看孩子手機的 app 安裝與使用情況,亦可設定各 app 的使用時間,除此之外,較特別的是還可以設置使用時間獎勵條件,一旦孩子完成目標,可延長 app 的可用時間。

在 Google 正式推出 Android Q 之前, Google 也持續推出測試版本供開發者安裝,此次除了 Google 的 6 款 Pixel 裝置外,亦有 15 款非 Google 裝置可以安裝 Android Q 的測試版。

Google Assistant:辨識10倍快、能夠複雜多工、幫你搞定包括寄信、關鬧鐘等大小事

基於語音與語意辨識的 Google Assistant 是 Google 近年相當重要的發展目標,透過語音喚醒以及了解語意,可讓許多生活大小事透過語音搞定,同時透過自然語意辨識,使用者可使用生活化的語言互動,不再需要熟背生硬的指令;而今年 Google I/O 大會, Google 也展現了預計用於下一代 Pixel 手機的 Google Assistant ,接下來的 Google Assistant 將有更強大的語意辨識,並能夠順暢的理解語意快速在多個應用程式之間切換。

為了展示新版 Assistant 的多工與辨識能力,台上的展示人員快速地唸出大量的語音指令,手機也在幾乎唸完指令的同時迅速地打開並切換相關的 app ,從查詢行事曆、天氣、開啟推特、地圖到啟動相機自拍,幾乎都能正確且快速的執行, Google 強調新版的 Assistant 將比起現行的判斷速度快十倍。

而強化版的 Google Assistant 將在今年內導入到新的 Pixel 手機上,然而這也讓人聯想到新版的 Assistant 可能建立在新世代的硬體架構上,例如首度在 AIE 異構運算架構加入 AI 硬體加速的高通 Snapdragon 855 與 Snapdragon 730 上,據信下一代的高階 Pixel 手機( Pixel 4 )應該也會在今年內亮相,沒意外也會繼續採用 Snapdragon 855 平台,能夠大幅提升自然語意辨識與多工,很可能就是拜更省電、效率更高的高通第四代 AIE 與更強大的多工運算性能所賜。

另一個新的 Assistant 功能則是針對行車安全的 Driving Mode ,主要是強化 Android 裝置在車載模式下的語音應用功能,強調可利用語音指令與畫面顯示的最佳化,達到可使用語音操作的安全駕駛,包括導航、資訊、來電接聽或是拒接,這項新模式預計在今年提供給所有的 Android 裝置。

此外,未來 Google Assistant 亦可在鬧鐘響起時,不需要喊出" OK Google "的啟動指令,就可直接用自然語意關閉鬧鐘。

Google Lens:可玩 AR 的 3D 圖像、幫你看菜單找餐點照片、算小費、還可辨識文字後念出來

Google 在 2019 年 I/O 大會的開場,執行長 Sundar Pichai 表示, Google 現在已經從幫助人尋找答案的公司,轉化為一家協助別人完成事情的公司,第一項宣布即是與搜尋相關的功能應用。

現在 Google 的搜尋不僅是單純的搜尋內容,也強化與相關功能的結合,例如搜尋到與 Podcast 相關的內容,可看到搜尋結果下面還有播放與稍後播放的按鍵。

另外現在搜尋特定的物品,可以顯示出在 Knowledge Base 提供 3D 模型的物件,並且活用 AR Core ,把這些 3D 模型放在真實場景,例如搜尋運動鞋,還可看到運動鞋在房間內的樣子,或是搜尋鯊魚,可在 AR 空間投射出 1:1 的鯊魚。

同時,此次 Google 也強化 Google Lens 與搜尋機能的整合,例如現在拍攝餐廳的菜單,可直接透過搜尋到的資料,顯示菜單上其他人對於該菜色的評價、還有指出那些是熱門必點,若菜單只有文字敘述,還可從 Google Maps 上他人分享的食物照片做為參考。

同時,若看到雜誌介紹好吃的菜色, Google Lens 還可幫你找到食譜,協助你如何自己動手完成這道菜色。

另一個對台灣消費者在台灣當地消費比較無感、但若到歐美出遊就會很實用的功能,是小費計算的輔助功能,利用 Google Lens 拍攝帳單後,可直接判斷並且出現帳單計算器,只要輸入小費的百分比,即可幫消費者算出總共需要支付的金額。

還有一項鎖定開發中國家的 Google Lens 的功能,則是以安裝在 Android Go 的精簡版搜尋功能 Google Go 服務,未來可在這些裝置上使用 Google Lens 進行文字辨識,同時可將文字朗誦;這項功能聽起來有點怪異,不過別忘了開發中國家並非所有人都能夠識字,但他們肯定知道語言,透過這項文字轉影音的功能,可幫助這些人了解如看板、商品標籤甚至藥物敘述所寫的內容。
