“Pixel 2 is loaded with a better camera that not only lets you take great pictures but helps you understand the world around you; a battery that lasts all day; and an Assistant that helps you get more done,” it said in a statement.

During the launch event, Google also demonstrated Google Lens -a new set of visual features that builds on Google’s advancements in computer vision and machine learning.

Apart from looking up landmarks, books and music albums among others from Google Photos on the Pixel handset, users will also be able to take actions like asking Google Lens to copy URLs and contact information from a picture of a poster or business card.

“The company is bringing an early preview of Google Lens to Pixel, so you can try it before anyone else,” Google said.

Pixel 2 features a 5-inch display, while Pixel 2 XL has a six-inch display.
