Remember Google Clips? The weird little intelligent camera accessory was announced at the start of October, but we haven't heard much about the device since. That may be changing soon.
The Google Clips has passed through the FCC. The FCC listing doesn't actually include any images or other details of the device, aside from the fact that it has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, but the "G015A" model number in the FCC entry is the same that appeared on the Google Clips in Google's promotional images of the device.
Google Clips is a small camera that you set down or clip somewhere to capture photos and videos for you. The device can recognize "great expressions, lighting, and framing", says Google, and over time it'll recognize familiar faces as well as pets and learn to capture clips of them.
When it comes to specs, the Google Clips camera has a 130-degree field of view, 16GB of storage, USB-C for charging, and a battery that'll last three hours of smart capture. It supports Android 7.0 or higher and can transfer photos over Wi-Fi Direct.
Google previously said that Google Clips is "coming soon" for $249. Now that it's earned FCC approval, it's possible that a Google Clips launch is imminent.
Google Clips is an interesting device, and while it may not appeal to everyone, the small camera could be a nice accessory for some. Parents, for example, could set up a Google Clips while their children are playing and use it to capture photos and videos of their kid while they're interacting them.
Are you thinking about buying the Google Clips?
