Google Lens Is Coming To All Android Phones Running Google Photos (theverge.com)

Google announced that Google Lens, a machine learning-powered image analyzer, will be rolling out to more Android devices and make an appearance on iOS. "This means users will be able to scan things through the app to receive information, like a dog's breed or a flower type," reports The Verge. Some phones will also be able to access Lens through the Google Assistant too, including flagships from Samsung, Huawei, LG, Motorola, Sony, and HMD / Nokia. "Google says Lens is rolling out in batches, so you might not get the update right away," reports The Verge.

    I still use my iPhone 6 and it works great. I save 45$ a month by keeping using it.

    Actually, it's an iPhone 6s. The savings is paying for an iPad 5. I use the iPhone as my camera and the iPad as my remote monitor/teleprompter for my YouTube videos.

    As a privileged customer, I can get a new phone from my company when I want.

    As a Sprint customer for 25 years, I get a lot of great deals. I'll probably wait a few years before getting a new iPhone.

    That isn't the correct URL for my video. I wondered why "cdreimer" as a search term started showing up in the YouTube analytics. Thanks for the free advertising!

    You need a teleprompter for your five minute rambling messes? You've got troubles, buddy.

    I write and follow a script to keep my videos at five minutes. Otherwise, the videos would be 30+ minutes long and lot less interesting.

    Loud bloody diarrhea has more viewers than you.

    Lowest denominator content will always attract more views. One of the reasons why the Paul Brothers are so successful is that they target their videos to preteens and sell $10M+ per month in merchandise.
