    The flagship addition is Magic Cue, a proactive assistant that surfaces relevant details across apps. Call a hotel, and your reservation automatically appears in the Phone app. Get a text asking, “Where’s dinner later again?” and the Messages app suggests replies from your calendar or Gmail.

    I wonder how accurate this feature is. If you have to double check, then I don’t see the point. I would also think most people would know where they are having dinner tonight and/or can quickly check the relevant chat.

    The photo coach features sounds decent, but again, I personally don’t think it’s revolutionary, but I could be wrong (defaults work fine for me).

      The AI booking thing I will never understand. Is it really that time consuming/insufferable that you’re willing to risk an incorrect booking? This is a prime example of a solution looking for a problem.

      There are also limitations in services. I don’t use Google ecosystem for my mail and calendar, so if I did get a Google phone, I assume it wouldn’t be able to know this information.

    Pixel phones are inferior to the Nexus phones. Google wanted in on the $1000 phone market and killed the best affordable phone line they ever offered to do it.
