Starting today, Pixel 4 users will get to enjoy the new Google Assistant, with helpful new features rolling across all Pixel phones.

What’s new with the Next Generation Assistant?

Singaporeans who own a Pixel 4 will begin to receive the all new Google Assistant in English. So, what’s new?

Get help faster: Thanks to a deeper integration into Pixel 4, the Google Assistant is now a faster way to get more things done. Breakthroughs in speech processing mean that more requests can happen right on your phone, without always sending your request to the cloud.


Multitask seamlessly We redesigned the Assistant so it doesn’t take up too much room on your screen, letting you better multitask across other apps. It can quickly open apps, search your phone, share what’s on your screen, and more.


Enjoy smarter answers and actions: The new Google Assistant considers the context of your query to give you more helpful answers. For example, you can ask the Assistant to “show my photos from Bali” and then say “the ones at the beach.” Then, you can share a picture by saying “send it to Mum.”


More features coming to your Pixel phones

Besides the Next Generation Assistant, Pixel owners will get even more helpful features in our first Pixel feature drop, where devices will get software updates that unlock new features and apps making your Pixel phone smarter over time!
