We just saw two short and sweet teasers showing off the upcoming Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. These were, unsurprisingly AI-focused. Well, Google just released another teaser showing off the former, and this one pushes you to use YOUR intelligence. The latest Pixel 9 Pro teaser has a word search.
If you didn’t see the previous teasers, you’re not missing much, especially if you’ve seen all of the recent leaks of the phone. We see the phones in all their Google-y glory, but they both start by talking about AI. This makes us worry if Google is going to make its next Pixel event (which is happening on August 13) be an AI event with the Pixel phones making a cameo. We’ll find out, so mark your calendars!
Google releases Pixel 9 Pro teaser with a word search
We all know the feeling of standing at the checkout line at the grocery store and flipping through the word search books. Well, Google wants us to all have that feeling again. Shortly after its video teasers, the company made a new post on Meta Threads. This post retains much the same visual aesthetic of the video ads. We see the silhouette of the phone. Rather than being filled with a Gemini prompt, it’s full of a word search.
Chalk this up as one of Google’s fun and quirky advertisements that encourage users to get involved. The tagline of the post is, “Can you find the reasons you should break up with your phone?” Well, can you? Google is betting big bucks on its AI to move this phone. It’s hoping to win you over with Gemini.
Sneak peek at a feature
This word search actually gives us a sneak peek at some of the features we should expect coming from the company. For example, just glancing at the word search, we see “searching screenshots”. This is a feature that’s been likened to Windows Recall. That’s the controversial feature that would have Windows take screenshots of everything you do on your computer and allow you to search them to recall what you were doing. Google’s feature is much different and less creepy. It will allow Gemini to search for content in your screenshots.
For more features, feel free to look at the word search and see what you should be excited about. The event is going down on August 13th, 10 AM EST.
