Google is getting ready to introduce the Pixel 8 series of smartphones. Although the company hasn’t confirmed the exact launch date yet, recent news suggests that the new phones will probably be released in late October. Before the official launch, some leaks were shared online. One interesting detail from these leaks is that the Pixel 8 series might allow users to respond to notifications using their voice.
How will this feature work?
According to Mishaal Rahman, when a message notification arrives on your phone. You will be able to direct the phone to send a reply through Google Assistant. For instance, “Hey Google, Reply.” This will trigger a message type command, and using your voice to text, you can draft a message and send it to the person by saying their name. This is a helpful feature because you don’t need to touch the phone to reply. It saves you from the hassle of unlocking the phone and typing to reply.
Rahman also says that it’s not certain if this feature will be there when the phone is first launched. But this reply feature might come later on in an update for Google Pixel phones.
In related news, the Google Pixel 8 is also expected to come with a new feature called Magic Audio Eraser that will allow you to remove unwanted background noise from recorded video clips. You can check out the full report on our website by clicking here.
