TechnologyOne of the Pixel 4’s most exciting new features was a total mystery until now

Google is likely to unveil the Pixel 4 series in early October, just like it did with the previous three generations, but the phones are hardly well-kept secrets. As we’ve seen time and time again with earlier models, a variety of Pixel 4 leaks has revealed several details about the handset. But, in a first for the company, Google actually confirmed some of the Pixel 4’s signature features, such as the dual-lens primary camera and rear design of the phone, as well as the 3D face recognition front camera system and new Project Soli radar-based gestures. The Pixel 4 will undoubtedly have a bunch of unique software tricks on top of all that, including a new capability that just leaked that might end up being the phone’s most exciting new feature.

Being placed on hold while waiting to speak to someone is one of the most annoying things about phone calls and Google is aiming to fix that. At least that’s what an unnamed source said to have a solid track record told 9to5Google.

Whenever you’re on a call with a business that places you on hold with some annoying music playing in the background, you’ll be able to offload that call to the Google Assistant. It all happens with a tap on the button, and the Assistant will then notify you once a human is back on the line, so you can take over. It’s unclear exactly how the experience works, and the report notes that the feature is still in early development. But the source is confident the feature will be announced alongside the Pixel 4 and will be available on the phone, although it might not be released to users on day one.

Google's Pixel 4 may invoke Assistant when you raise the phone

It's not that difficult to invoke Google Assistant on most Pixel phones, whether it's saying "hey Google," squeezing the sides or making an on-screen gesture. With the Pixel 4, however, it might become downright trivial. A 9to5Googlereport claims the upcoming device will let you start Assistant commands just by raising your device and starting to speak. You'd just have to do what comes instinctively to ask about the weather or turn on some lights.

Just hopeful my Pixel 3 will make it until the Pixel 5. I am waiting for the 4 a or possibly 5a. Nah, track record put me off, they seem to be one of the most problem-ridden devices, the camera was the only plus but You can now swipe between accounts in Gmail and new signs of a dark mode, too.

It’s certainly not a must-have feature, but if you happen to spend a lot of time on hold then you’ll definitely want to take advantage of it. Once available, the feature could roll out to other Android devices, including older Pixel smartphones.

Mystery at the Opera (France 2) - Mathilda May: "For this TV movie, I really learned to sing"

© SCHOUSBOE Charlotte / FTV ARCHIVE. Tonight France 2 rebroadcast the fiction "Mystery at the Opera". A police intrigue that takes place at the Opera Garnier, Paris, at the end of the nineteenth century, in which Mathilda May camps a diva on the background of murder and rivalry. On this occasion, we invite you to re-read the interview that the actress gave us in January 2017.

You play as Éva Fontaine, a singer who repeats the role of Carmen at the Opéra national de Paris. How would you characterize this character?

Mathilda May: Eva has a great need for recognition and is going to experience a moment of exacerbated rivalry with her daughter, Faustine. She is also one of those women who, at that time, had to use seduction to have the right to exist.

This TV movie is set in the Palais Garnier in Paris. A place you know well, right?

Oh yes! It's totally incredible and strange. This place is very present in my memory, since my childhood was marked by the dance and that I spent my exams there. And even if I failed, the Opera remains very present in my life. It has become a geographical landmark for me. Before the existence of the GPS, I was already guiding Paris in relation to this place.

What evokes for you Carmen, of Bizet, which acts like thread red?

It has often been undervalued. Apart from the "tubes", it is a masterpiece as a whole. The popular style does not detract from its value. For this TV movie, I really learned to sing, although I'm doubled for lyrics. This allowed me to better understand the depth of this opera.

Did you like playing in costume?

This is not an easy exercise. This forces you to take a posture that does not correspond to what we know in our everyday life, in terms of comfort. One thus experiences a very different relationship to one's body. Indeed, you can not sit in any way, or even walk or breathe in the same way. Spending twelve hours a day in whalebone corsets also allowed me to take full measure of the cage in which were locked up women, at the time, both in terms of dress ... as well as symbolically.
