We found Google's next Pixel-only calling feature and it's borrowed from Apple (APK teardown)
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google may be launching a new AI-powered 'Call Message' feature that acts like an on-device voicemail with live transcriptions and summaries. The feature works offline without using data or Wi-Fi and is likely powered by Gemini Nano. Like many AI features Google debuts with new Pixel phones, Call Message could be a Pixel 10 exclusive launching next month. Google already packs its Pixel phones with a bunch of smart calling features like Call Screening, Direct My Call, Hold for Me, and Call Notes. These features are powered by AI to make handling calls easier and less annoying. Now, it looks like Google is cooking up another new calling feature that could take things to the next level — an AI-powered voicemail system that works entirely on your device, no internet needed.

An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. While inspecting the latest beta version of the Phone by Google app (version 184.0.785204977-publicbeta-pixel2024), we found a feature called 'Call Message.' Based on strings hidden in the app, this feature lets your phone take messages for missed or declined calls. It can even filter out spam calls, transcribe, and summarize everything in real time, right on your device. If someone calls you and you don't answer, your phone will ask them to leave a message. That message gets transcribed using on-device AI (most likely Gemini Nano), and you can view the audio, summary, and transcript in the Recents tab. The entire process will happen locally on your device since the feature doesn't use Wi-Fi or mobile data. However, if your phone is off or out of the network, Call Message won't work, and your carrier's voicemail will take over like usual. Additional code strings we found show just when Call Message (codenamed Beesly) kicks in: Beesly will activate when a call is missed. It also triggers when you manually reject a call from either the answer screen or a notification. Even if you decline a call from your connected Wear OS watch, Beesly will still start recording a message on your phone. A notification will confirm that Beesly is taking a message. Could Call Message be a Pixel 10 exclusive? There's a strong chance Call Message could debut as a Pixel 10 exclusive when the new phones launch next month. The feature's codename, 'Beesly,' follows Google's typical pattern for Pixel-only features. Past AI tools like Hold for Me and Direct My Call also had unique internal codenames during development, and many stayed Pixel-exclusive. What's even more telling is the app version number where we discovered the feature. The 'pixel2024' tag clearly points to a build meant for Pixel devices launched in 2024. Google often uses these tags when internally testing Pixel-first features. Perhaps Google will release Call Message as a Pixel 10 exclusive at first, but also roll it out to other Pixel phones at some point. It's also entirely possible the feature will take longer to mature and release later as part of a future Pixel Drop. If Call Message sounds a bit familiar, that's because it's similar to Apple's Live Voicemail feature. Finally, since the feature appears to rely on Gemini Nano, which is only available on select devices, it makes sense for Google to showcase it as part of the Pixel 10's exclusive AI experience. If Call Message sounds a bit familiar, that's because it's similar to Apple's Live Voicemail feature, which lets users view a real-time transcription of the message someone is leaving as they speak. However, Google's version seems to go a step further by potentially offering summaries, not just transcripts. Apple's version also works on-device, which is something Google seems to be taking inspiration from. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

I spent the last two weeks testing Alexa+ — here's 2 things that impressed me, and 1 that needs work
Alexa+, Amazon's new-and-improved voice assistant, is slowly rolling out to beta testers before its full release sometime in the near future. Unlike the original Alexa, Alexa+ uses AI in a number of ways to not only improve the quality of the conversation between you and the assistant, but also provide much more comprehensive services. For example, you can now use Alexa+ to create a smart home routine, order an Uber, or book restaurant reservations. Alexa+ is currently in Early Access, meaning that Amazon is allowing a select number of people to try it and iron out the kinks (here's how to sign up for Alexa+). When it goes live to a wider audience, it will cost $19.99/month, but will be included for free if you subscribe to Amazon Prime. While I had a chance to use Alexa+ briefly a few months back at the launch event, it was only for a few minutes. About two weeks ago, I was granted early access to Alexa+, so I've been able to test it out a bit more over the past few days with the Echo Show 15 and Echo Show 5. Here are my early impressions. When you upgrade to Alexa+, it completely changes the look of your Echo Show to an interface that's much more customizable. Now, you have a lot more flexibility when it comes to widgets. Not only are there more widgets (around 100), but you can move them around the screen, much as you can with your smartphone. Even better: You can set up multiple screens, so you're not confined to just one. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The new interface makes the Echo Show feel something closer to, say, the Google Pixel tablet, especially with regard to its smart home controls. As someone who has a lot of smart home devices, I especially like the Smart Home widget, which has a bunch of thumbnails of my various cameras (it only works with Ring at the moment) and controls for other things, such as smart lights and thermostats. What's more, if you set up Map View in the Alexa app, you can see a floorplan of your house with all of your smart home devices. Amazon has basically taken the concept of the Echo Hub and turned it into a widget, so it will be interesting to see how much of a future there is for this device, as well as any other Echo device that doesn't have a screen. Still, there's some work to be done. Of the 128 widgets I counted, a number of them were merely larger versions of each other, and their dimensions are fixed, so you can't resize them to say a portrait or landscape orientation. On the Echo Show 5, things are naturally a bit more cramped. You don't get thumbnail views of your smart home cameras, for instance, and the screen can only hold three widgets (and small ones at that) at a time. Things also felt a bit pokey — there was a noticeable lag as I swiped around the display. The first thing you'll notice about Alexa+ is her voice (or his, depending on how you set it up). Alexa is much more expressive, and replies feel more like natural language, rather than something that's purely transactional. As a result, I found it much easier to carry on a conversation. Alexa+'s smarts also extend to when she messes up — she quickly admits her error, and then attempts to resolve it. For example, I had a raccoon wander through my backyard a few nights ago, so I asked Alexa+ if there were any animals that were in my backyard at night. She then responded with a list of videos from my Ring cameras — but all of the results were from the daytime. I said as much, and she responded 'You're right. These are all during the day. I'll look for night videos.' There were a few other instances where Alexa+ didn't return the results I was looking for — Amazon is still working out the kinks — and when I pointed out the errors, she was very apologetic, and worked to correct the mistakes. As an Italian-American, I was particularly aggrieved when Alexa pronounced 'gnocchi' as 'knee-ack-y.' I told her as much, and she asked me if there was a better way to pronounce the word. After guiding her through something that was a bit better, she said she'd keep it in mind for future conversations. It took a few tries, but Alexa finally started pronouncing it correctly. One of the keys to Alexa+'s success will be its integration with third-party services. For example, it currently works with Uber, OpenTable, TicketMaster, and a smattering of other services, so you can use your voice to order a ride or get a reservation. However, in order for this to truly be useful, Amazon will have to partner with a lot more companies. For instance, I tried to book a reservation near my home at a sushi restaurant using OpenTable, but there just aren't that many restaurants in the area that use OpenTable. As a result, Alexa+ returned options for places in New York City, which is a good 15 miles away. While Alexa+ is shaping up to be a great in-home assistant, it's going to need to do more if Amazon wants people to use it out of the house. To find things to do near me, I asked Alexa+ 'what's a good place to go kayaking near Red Bank, New Jersey?' Alexa returned several helpful results, but she was unable to send me directions, or show me on a map where they might be. An Amazon representative told me that they are working on Alexa+ integration with turn-by-turn directions. As an in-home assistant, Alexa+ already feels like a big leap forward from what came before. She's an assistant you now talk to, rather than at. Conversations no longer feel one-directional, and she actually takes your comments into account, rather than returning a generic error message. And, the on-screen interface makes Alexa a lot more functional, especially when it comes to controlling your smart home devices. But while the new design looks great on the large-scale Echo Show 15, it's less so on the smaller Echo Show 5. As the latter device was last updated in 2023, I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon released a newer version of it (as well as other Echo displays) with a beefier processor to handle more Alexa+ actions locally. Is there anything you'd like me to try with Alexa+? I plan to test it more thoroughly in the weeks and months to come before its wider release.

Four features the new Pixel Watch 4 needs to have
Last year's Pixel Watch 3 was one of my favorite wearables and one of the best Google wearables ever, but a year later, rivals such as the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and Apple Watch Series 10 have left the Pixel Watch 3 in need of an update. Thankfully, Google is on track to deliver, with the Pixel Watch 4 expected to launch on August 20 alongside the new Pixel 10 series. The Pixel Watch 3 is already one of the best smartwatches, but here are four features that the Pixel Watch 4 needs to maintain its position. 1. A thinner design Thin is all the rage, whether it's with thin smartwatches like the Apple Watch Series 10 or phones, like Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 7 folding phone. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is already rumored to be getting thicker, but I hope this isn't the case with the Pixel Watch 4. Recommended Videos The Pixel Watch 3 measures 12.3mm thick, while the Apple Watch Series 10 is 9.7mm, and I'd like to see Google make the Pixel Watch 4 a little thinner. The Pixel Watch 3 is nearly identical in weight to the Apple Watch Series 10, so no changes are needed there. The Pixel Watch 3 is already thinner and lighter than the new Galaxy Watch 8, but Google should strive to emulate the Apple Watch in terms of thickness, as it remains the most popular smartwatch. 2. Customisable buttons Another trend that's become apparent recently is the addition of shortcut buttons to wearables. First debuted on the Apple Watch Ultra, these hardware buttons often serve as shortcuts to start a specific workout or launch a particular app, but I'd like to see Google go considerably further here. The vast Google ecosystem offers a great opportunity to integrate different shortcuts, apps, or features into these buttons. Alternatively, allow users to create routines and actions in Gemini that can trigger different apps or experiences. Given that Gemini was preloaded on the Galaxy Watch 8 and has rolled out for the Pixel Watch 3, it'll inevitably play a starring role on the Pixel Watch 4. Alongside the existing features, I hope we also see a new experience that makes Gemini on the Pixel Watch 4 a star combination. 3. An overhaul of Fitbit At the core of Google's health offering is Fitbit, the world's largest health platform (by number of members), which Google acquired in 2021 for $2.1 billion. The Pixel Watch 3 was the first Google smartwatch infused with Fitbit DNA, and it showed, with Google rolling out a host of improvements to create a fan favorite smartwatch. Yet, a key challenge remained: the Fitbit app. The Fitbit app is the core app for the Pixel Watch 3, but the menus and home page aren't as customizable as on the Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. Some features are hidden away, and you require Fitbit Premium for detailed sleep reports. Yes, the Pixel Watch 3 comes with six months free, but after that, you'll need to pay $ 10 per month. When the competition offers similar or better sleep data for free, it's challenging to recommend the Pixel Watch 3. The same applies to Gemini and any other features it may wish to paywall. Google should ensure that the Pixel Watch 4 doesn't require subscriptions for features that are core to its marketing and product positioning, otherwise there's a risk of alienating customers. Google is competing with Samsung and Apple, and needs to match its key rivals at least. 4. Wireless charging One reason I use my Pixel Watch 3 infrequently is the pogo charging cable, which connects to the watch in one direction only and is easy to dislodge. It's a considerable frustration with the Pixel Watch 3, especially when its chief rivals support wireless charging. Alongside this, I'd like to see slightly faster charging. In my Pixel Watch 3 battery test last year, the Pixel Watch 3 charged faster than the Galaxy Watch 7, but lagged behind the Apple Watch Series 10. The Pixel Watch 3 battery life is already better than last year's competition, and it remains to be seen whether the Pixel Watch 4 will follow suit, especially as the Galaxy Watch 8 battery has improved. The Pixel Watch 3 remains one of my favorite smartwatches, providing an excellent platform for Google to build upon with the Pixel Watch 4. Innovative health features, such as Cardio Load and Target Load, are particularly helpful, and the battery life surpasses that of the competition. I'm eager to see if the Pixel Watch 4 delivers on its promises.
