Google Clips is a discontinued miniature clip-on camera device developed by Google.
History
It was announced during Google's "Made By Google" event on 4 October 2017.
It was released for sale on January 27, 2018.[1] With a flashing light emitting diode (LED) that indicates it is recording, Google Clips automatically captures video clips at moments its machine learning algorithms determine to be interesting or relevant.[2][3]
Google Clips' artificial intelligence (AI) will learn the faces of people so it can learn to take photos with certain people.[4] Google Clips can automatically set lighting and framing.[4]
It had 16 GB of storage built-in storage and could record clips for up to 3 hours.[5] This camera was originally priced at $249 in the United States.[5]
The product was pulled from the Google Store on October 15, 2019.[6] Google has said that the product would be supported until the end of December of 2021.[7]
Reception
The Independent wrote that Google Clips is "an impressive little device, but one that also has the potential to feel very creepy."[8]
According to The Verge's review, it didn't capture anything special over a couple weeks worth of testing. This, added with the steep price, made Google Clips a tough sell.
