On Tuesday, Google held its annual developer conference Google I/O, where the company demoed all the products it's been working on.
There was a big emphasis on privacy — Chrome will reportedly implement anti-fingerprinting tech and Incognito Mode will soon be available with Google Maps. The company also pulled back the curtain on a slew of new products that are available now:
Google's new 'affordable' smartphone (it's $399). Pixel 3a is designed to fit nicely in your hand, and includes an OLED display for crisp images and bright colors. It comes in three colors—Just Black, Clearly White, Purple-ish—and two sizes. In the U.S., the phone will also be available from carriers other than Verizon, possibly swaying buyers away from Samsung Galaxy devices and iPhones.

Announced two years ago at I/O, Google Lens is now available on Android, Photos, and Image Search and the company is also bringing augmented reality to Search on the web for more realistic and detailed results through 3D models.
