what's up brian Tong here and welcome to google issues for everything google we're talking about now the google pixel might not be the easiest phone to get ahold of right now but you have a chance to get the google home early at a walmart of all places now according to reddit users and android police the google home is on shells at a few walmart locations around the u.s. with the 129 dollar price point but the reports say walmart employees are not allowed to sell it until it's official release date on november the fort now i can't wait to get my hands on it and compare this to amazon's echo and it's a real exciting time for AI in the home until you know it becomes smarter than us alright the google home has already been criticized for its slim pickings for support with third-party devices and gadgets we know it will get better and it's a legit complaint but right before launch the google assistant is getting if this then that support or IFTTT for short now what makes this great is that by connecting it to different services you can do things like call your phone if you've lost it or send a tweet by voice or set your lights to party mode but someone else has already made these pre-made recipes or actions for you now either way if you have a pixel or a home get on it and it's worth it and speaking of that google pixel phone as time has gone on this phone's profile continues to rise weeks later reviews are still positive and demand is surpassing the supply available some users pixels phones are arriving past the delivery time that was promised so to make up for the delay Google is sending a fifty dollar credit after the phone arrives like seriously who does that these days that's a good Google or a good goal carry out I'll go with that and yes the camera is still the best ever in a smartphone so why not showcase some more great footage from the pixel this one comes from YouTube channel cars and tech by JDM City sometimes it's on a slider other times its handheld there's no color correction here but it shows how it manages to still capture great detail with difficult lighting shots that are pointed directly at the Sun at dusk now this other clip comes from Rob Briscoe and it shows us how tight it's electronic image stabilization is compared to the tractors movement in front of him you'll still get times where it's correcting the footage but the stability overall is really impressive basically these two videos were just to show off and illustrate how good this camera is and an update for nexus 6p owners you might want to stay away from the Android nougat update if you haven't done it already one example shows the ready teddy taking a few pictures with his battery at more than halfway charged but the phone then shuts off and won't turn back on unless you plug it into its charger other 6p users are reporting similar issues it's still early on but it initially appears to be a software issue with nougat and not a hardware problem alright that's going to do it for this week you can always email me at Google licious at cnet com or to me at brian Tong thanks so much for watching we'll catch y'all next time for some more of that Google ishes Google Isha's
