Google Lens now built into the Google Camera app for Pixel, Nexus and some Android One devices
Sandwiched between stickers and settings on the Google Camera app for certain devices, is Google Lens
While getting to Google Lens is now easier to open for owners of the affected models, the actual application is the same one that is found in Assistant. Other manufacturers like LG, Motorola and Sony have already added Lens to the stock camera app on some of their handsets, and will continue to integrate the feature with the stock camera app on other units as well.
With Google Lens open, you can tap the screen anywhere to obtain search results for objects and things that are on the screen. You can also send an email to the address on a business card, learn more about a restaurant, translate words, and more. Tap the back button and the screen once again becomes a viewfinder for the camera.
Aparna Chennapragada, vice president of product for AR at Google, says that Lens is "like a visual browser for the world around you." While flowery in a greeting card kind of way, that seems to be an accurate description of the feature.
