SiliconANGLE News | Google Showcases Updates for Android and Wearable Technology at MWC
(Introductory music) >> Hello everyone, welcome to theCUBE's coverage of Mobile World Congress (MWC) and also SiliconANGLEs news coverage. Welcome to SiliconANGLEs news update for MWC. I'm John Furrier, host of theCUBE and reporter with SiliconANGLE News Today. Google showcasing new updates for Android and wearables at MWC. Kind of going after the old Apple-like functionality. Google has announced some new updates for Android and wearables at MWC and Barcelona. The new features are aimed at enhancing user productivity, connectivity and overall enjoyment across various devices for Chromebooks and all their Android devices. This is their answer to be Apple-like. New features include updates to Google Keep, audio enhancements, instant pairing of Chromebooks, headphones, new emojis, smartphones, more wallet options, and greater accessibility options. These features designed to bridge the gap between different devices that people use together often such as watches and phones or laptops or headphones. Fast Pair, another feature which allows new Bluetooth headphones to be connected to a Chromebook with just one tap. If the headphones are already set up with Android phone, the Chromebook will automatically connect to them with no additional setup. And finally, Google Keep taking notes for you that app - very cool. New features include widgets for Android screens, making it easier for users to make to-do lists from their mobile devices and Smartwatches phones. So that's the big news there. And it's really about Apple-like functionality and they have added things to their meat, which is new backgrounds and then filters that's kind of a Zoom clone. So here you got Android, Google adding stuff to their wallet. They are really stepping up their game and they want to be more mobile in at a telecom conference like this. They can see them upping their game to try to compete with Apple. And that's the update from from Google, Android and Chromebook updates. Stay tuned for more coverage.
