Pixel 8a 5G comes with Google AI features: Best Take, Circle to Search
Pixel 8 lineup’s affordable model seems to be unveiled next month. Ahead of the official announcement, a promotional video of Google Pixel 8a 5G has been leaked, confirming the most exciting upgrades including the inclusion of generative AI and artificial intelligence.
Google Pixel 8a would carry all highlighting AI features of the Pixel 8 series. The leaked promo video confirmed the existence of the “Best Take” and “Audio Magic Eraser” camera features alongside “Live Translate” and the popular “Circle to Search.”
As revealed in the video, the Pixel 8a will have the Best Take feature, which will let you improve group photos. It is an outstanding creation that unlocks unbelievable ways to fix errors in group photos, including but not limited to fixing the closed eyes of objects.
Circle to Search became quite famous following its debut with the Galaxy S24. Google and Samsung expanded it to their recent flagships, with the Pixel 8a will be the first Pixel device to have it pre-installed. Additional features are expected to be included in Circle to Search that are in testing.
The promo also teased the Live Translate feature which breaks the language barrier. The phone will translate languages in real time as soon as you face the camera on it.
Audio Magic Eraser is Pixel Camera’s most interesting feature. It turns off unnecessary background noises from recorded videos, making the speaker’s audio easy to hear in crispy sound.
Unfortunately, the promo video has been removed due to copyright violations.

Gemini now answers questions on your locked Android phone
Google’s AI assistant, Gemini, just got a major upgrade for your lock screen. Previously, you could only use Gemini for basic tasks like controlling music or setting alarms. But now, you can ask general questions without even unlocking your phone!
Imagine you’re on the go and need to know the weather for the day. With this update, simply say “Hey Gemini, what’s the weather like?” and Gemini will answer you right there on the lock screen, reading the answer aloud for your convenience.
What’s in this update?
Gemini can now answer your general questions without needing you to unlock your phone first. This means quicker access to information you need on the fly. If you want to follow up with more details, tapping the text field lets you authenticate (like with your fingerprint) and continue the conversation seamlessly.
A new “Gemini on lock screen” setting lets you choose if you want this feature enabled. You can also keep the existing “Google Assistant on lock screen” option for different needs.
This feature is still rolling out, so you might not see it immediately. Additionally, while Gemini can answer general questions, it can’t access personal information or perform complex tasks from the lock screen yet. However, Google plans to allow access to certain Gemini “Extensions” in the future, which could further expand its capabilities.
This update is a big step forward for hands-free interaction with your Android phone. Now you can get quick answers from Gemini without interrupting your workflow!
