Google unveils 'chatty' Pixel smartphones

The two Pixel handsets are the first mobiles to trigger Google Assistant by holding down their home buttons, somewhat like Apple's Siri.
The BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones asked the Pixel project manager James Nugent why people would want to talk to their devices.
