The Only 7 Things You Need To Know About The Google Pixel

Google is coupling its Pixel phone with the new Google Assistant. Introduced in its Allo chat app, the Assistant is the updated version of Android's Google Now features. Say the words, "Ok, Google" aloud and the Assistant is summoned and ready to answer questions. Based on your location, the Assistant will serve up pertinent information regarding what's happening around you. And depending on what you're seeing onscreen, bringing forward the Assistant will have it chime in with info on that (after swiping up on the Assistant) screen. These superpowers are nothing we haven't seen from the search company in the past from features like Google's Now On Tap.
