Switching between platforms should be easy and seamless, which is why Android 17 has a ground-up new transfer system that transfers even more of your stuff, wirelessly and without the need for a separate app. It works with Photos, contacts, sure, but also passwords, Wi-Fi credentials, and even eSIM. It's a big deal! Learn more about how it works and everything that transfers over in this Reddit post from Mishaal Rahman https://lnkd.in/gb87vMJK

The goal of Android has always been to bring the best of computing to everyone. For years, speech-to-text has made mobile communication effortless. But for many in the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community, sign language is their preferred way of communicating. Up until now, typing in English on a keyboard has still been the default requirement on smartphones. The new Pixel 11 series changes that. With sign-to-text in Gboard and Live Translate you can compose messages, search, or have casual, face-to-face conversations in real time in American Sign Language. Using your device’s front camera, the sign-to-text feature tracks upper-body, hand, and facial movements in real time. Then it sends a 2D map of your movements to the server, not your video, to be translated into English. Building this right meant co-designing directly with the Deaf community and our AI Sign Language Advisory Committee (AISLAC) from day one. This is a great example of using AI to solve real everyday challenges and making technology more accessible. It’s been incredible to see the early reactions over the past few days, from people trying it out at the Google Store to seeing the excitement from Deaf users and community members imagining what this future looks like. It’s still early days for this technology, and we’re committed to continuously improving it, expanding to more Android devices, and bringing it to more sign languages over time. Super proud of the teams across Android and Google DeepMind for their work here, and deeply grateful to our community partners who are guiding us every step of the way. See how this feature works in a demo by Daniel Durant, the acclaimed Broadway star 👇

I got to check out the new Samsung Mobile Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, Z Flip8, and the Z Fold8 last week. These devices are sick! Android offers you the choice to pick the phone that fits your life and your pocket, and Gemini Intelligence features like app automation and Gemini Notebook let you do more while tapping around way less.

Congratulations to Samsung Mobile on the launch of the new Galaxy foldables and watches! Our partnership with Samsung is all about pushing the envelope of what’s possible with technology. With the latest foldable devices, we’re rolling out the first capabilities of Gemini Intelligence – a vision for technology that works proactively for you. I’m super excited about the expansion of task automation with Gemini. Now supporting 40+ popular apps, it is designed to help you get through your daily “life admins” so you can focus on what you’d rather be doing. We also upgraded the data migration experience to let you transfer photos, messages, Wi-Fi credentials, and even your eSIM wirelessly from an iPhone. There’s never been a better time to make the switch to Android! Look out for more intelligent features as they become ready, so you’re not left waiting. Thank you to the Android and Gemini teams for all the hard work! #GalaxyUnpacked
