So I got a new phone recently and normally I turn all the google stuff off, but "Ok Google" is really good. I have been using it to do the normal things like text and search but there is a lot more it can do.

If you have it on your phone and want to try it out, here is a list of things it can do.

Here are a couple of good ones from the article.

How do you say [good night] in [Japanese]?
Who’s on first?
Beam me up, Scotty!
What is [Jennifer Lawrence’s] Bacon number?

Google voice works extremely well. Very surprising how it can pick up random words, no matter the accent

Yeah, it's great. I have it set to activate even if the screen is off. Google went from knowing very little about me to knowing pretty much everything.

How is it on battery drain? I believe the Hey Siri feature requires the iPhone to be plugged in.

I'm sure it uses a little more battery, but I haven't been paying close attention.



Well over 24 hours with close to 6 hours screen on time. Using Greenify as well. Google Search and Google Services accounted for 2% of the battery use each. Not sure which one is responsible for the always-on Google.

It works well on the motor 360 wearable also, I have been really impressed with how accurate it is.
