10 Cool Things the Pixel 2 Can Do

Use Google Lens

It took almost an entire year before it arrived, but you can finally enjoy Google Lens on the Pixel 2. What is Google Lens you ask? Well, something pretty neat. It's a brand new app that uses your smartphone camera, machine learning, and the power of Google search to do some amazing things. 

Google Lens isn't just about scanning barcodes either. Recognize landmarks, find products, scan barcodes, look up an address, save a WiFi password and more instantly. The Lens app scans things in the real world with your camera, then intelligently uses that information or Google search to make life easier. It'll get information, save and share a WiFi password, and much more.

Instantly scan a business card and Google Lens will create a contact and save the name, email address, phone number and even a physical address if it's available. It can find phone numbers, email addresses, navigation directions and more all in seconds. We still don't know the full power of Google Lens, but you can try most of it on the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. 

Download Google Lens from the Play Store, and give it a try. You'll be glad you did.
