As I raised one of Google's new Pixel 9 phones to snap a group photo, I saw an image of myself in augmented reality located in the same spot I was standing in just a second ago. This digital version of me was positioned right next to the person I was taking a photo of, as if we were standing alongside one another in real life.

This tool, built for people with blindness or low vision, is so helpful for all that Google made it a prominent part of the Pixel Camera app.

In its Made by Google event on August 13, Google finally made the long-awaited Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold official.

I will get a Pixel 9 Pro because Google left me no other choice. October 2017: Google announced the Pixel 2 XL, and I spent a couple of days jumping through hoops trying to order the phone’s panda version to ship to Lebanon. My first few orders didn’t go through because the Google Store was refusing my Lebanese credit card, so I switched to Amazon, got the black version since the panda one was out of stock, and shipped the phone to my US forwarding address. Then, on top of the local US taxes, I paid the shipping and import fees to forward the phone to Lebanon and register it on my local network.
