Google unveils 'chatty' Pixel smartphones
October 4, 2016 at 12:54
Google has placed a virtual assistant at the heart of two new smartphones it has designed in-house.
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.
