It’s Time To Upgrade Your Smartphone with AI

Your phone deserves some love—get it with Google.

In need of a new phone? Even if you don’t need one, you probably want one, especially with all the fancy new features that are being released at lightning speed. But how can you decide which fun new devices are worth the hype? Just let Google help you out.

Thanks to the new line of Google Pixel 9 series, integrating incredible features with AI is seamless. And don’t forget, you save 15% on all Google Pixel phones when you shop with Student Beans. Here’s everything you need to know about the new tech. 

Gemini & Gemini Advanced

The Pixel 9 has Google’s new AI, Gemini (built-in), ready to act as your personal assistant. Like…seriously. What can’t Gemini do? Here’s a TLDR of some of the incredible features:

Answering your questions from a massive amount of sources, including Google apps, images, text, audio, or even something through your screen you’re seeing in real-time.

  • Massive inspo. All Gemini needs is a simple prompt to get the ball rolling. The more details you give, the better. 

  • Generate an image with Gemini just by typing in your idea. Dream big, then easily drop it into Google Messages or Gmail to share.¹

  • Instead of typing, use Gemini Live and have a natural, free-flowing conversation. Gemini follows along, even if you change the topic or switch the question mid-sentence.²

  • Summarise things for you. Need help getting the most important information from your study guide? Gemini can help with that.

Gemini Advanced takes it even further. It can have conversations for you by learning your tone of voice. Or it can respond to emails cluttering your inbox. It’s been easier to streamline and optimise your life with Gemini and the Google Pixel 9.

Enhance Your Videos With Video Boost

We’ve all been there. You’re at a cool event. You’re dying to take a video to capture the moment, and…it’s shaky because you’re so excited. Or it’s dark and grainy. So while you’re left with your memory, the video evidence is less than ideal.

Enter Video Boost.

Thanks to this new feature on the Pixel 9, Video Boost can fix all those problems. It includes features like Night Sight Video, designed for low light videos; and Super Res Zoom Video³, to capture up to 20x the action, even when it's at a distance. Details are sharper and clearer than ever, meaning you can capture the magic without missing a beat.

Never Miss A Moment With Add Me

The amount of times a selfie has tried to cram everyone in the photo only to have someone’s head cut off or arm in the way is…countless. And you don’t want to exclude one person from the moment by making them take the picture. Plus, there might not always be a friendly stranger around to help.

Google’s got you covered. 

Thanks to Add Me, the Google AI editing feature, you can insert the person taking the photo into the photo.⁴ Crazy, right? Take the photo, swap places, and boom—everyone is in the photo, easier than ever. 

Make the Most of Your Screenshots

We’re all guilty of taking countless screenshots of things we want to remember. The order confirmation from online shopping, the address for a restaurant you’re dying to try, tickets to an event…when you keep everything, it’s hard to find anything, right?

Thankfully, Pixel Screenshots saves all the important stuff you need. Gemini can analyse screenshots to help you find exactly what you need, right when you need it.
