welcome to alphabet city the show that normally covers everything related to alphabet Inc that company owns way mo loon and others today we're focusing on Google and what we expect in 2019 let's go to the garden of Google shall we let's start with some fun of course we're expecting Google to continue with its Google pixel phoneline likely we're going to see a pixel four and a four excel in October the pixel 3 was a new step for Google the phones were built using Google's designs and made by Foxconn you might have heard of Foxconn since it makes iPhones Xbox one consoles and others the older pixels were made by HTC and LG in theory since Google had a lot more control maybe the pixel three would be the best of the pixels Google's biggest hooks for the pixel three was the software call screening seemed awesome then there's what Google can do with its AI plus the camera Hardware nitesite looks incredible Google assistant keeps getting smarter and smarter maybe 2019 if the Year Google tries to stand out in the design field the company has messed with color in the past but as always kept its devices understated either way I expect Ngoc Zilla to not be a feature in the newest pixels the software will probably remain the star of the pixel show what else can we expect from Google in 2019 extreme boredom in 2018 the company was mired in controversy there were a number of congressional hearings involving the company Google didn't show up to some and there was one where CEO sundar pichai was questioned for over three hours there was also the revelation of dragonfly the sensor search engine for China oh and then there was those Google+ bugs that would lead to the eventual shutdown of the social network did I forget to mention the walkouts yeah that was all 2018-2019 expect Google to do a lot to stay out of the spotlight in those areas the company may have to make sure its corporate culture promotes a happy workforce the projects Google will attempt will likely stay away from controversy where possible let's talk about the future of Android 2019 should see the debut of Android cue Google has already now support for foldables in and but here's where it gets weird when these larger devices are unfolded they are essentially Android tablets we already saw Android on tablets and it was far from great we've seen a preview of how multiple apps would be able to occupy the screen on foldables here's hoping Google and app developers figure out the right way to get the most out of those big screens no one wants to see The Revenge of honeycomb and lastly a couple of odds and ends maybe we'll get a sleigh - that's Google's Chrome OS based tablet since it realized Android on tablets wasn't the best idea except the slate also runs Android apps the whole thing is kind of a mess maybe they'll get ironed out with the two operating systems working closer together also nest is back under Google expect even tighter integration between nest and home products then there's Twitter Google social network dreams have failed frequently remember work Hut's Jai - wave buzz or Plus you might be faking or what Jai who exactly the company has given no indication it will try social again but maybe it's willing to pick up a ready-made network by buying Twitter that does it for this special episode of Alphabet City Amaya's actor I'll see you online this is Google okay oh there's a giant Android over there I didn't notice that [Laughter]
