As is tradition, Google bedazzled us with several mind-blowing displays of their technological prowess at Google I/O. We saw the Google Assistant make a phone call on behalf of a person, some new Android P features and a slew of changes for Google Maps, News and other services. Lens was promised a redesign and a heap of new features, which included direct integration with the camera and more. 9to5Google used a OnePlus 6 running the Android P developer preview to trigger the update, followed by a Reddit user who got it on his/her Samsung Galaxy S8. The APK isn’t available for download yet, so you’re going to have to wait a bit.

Google Lens is now integrated into the camera and features a new intro prompt that details its capabilities. Instead of a dialogue bubble like on Assistant, Lens features a redesigned rounded sheet at the bottom of the screen that notes how users can “Tap on objects and text.” Sliding that screen up notes what Lens can identify: Text, Products, Books & Media, Places, and Barcodes. Additionally, tapping the microphone on the bottom-right corner allows you to record audio or issue commands. The suggestion chips to “Remember this,” “Import to Keep,” and “Share” no longer exist.
