Hi, Lovelies,

I hope you are out there taking your vacations, staycations and enjoying life. Before you know it summer will be winding down and school will be starting back up. If you are looking to keep those summer memories, you may want to consider the Google Clips. The Google Clips is the latest technology of capturing your friends and loved ones in motion.

With our partnership with Verizon Wireless, Bubbling With Elegance And Grace used the Google Clips for 30 days to write this review.

The tiny camera measures only 1.9 inches by 1.9 inches by .8 inches. It is designed to capture the best memories of your busy lifestyle with minimal effort. The device can be held in your hand, placed amongst the crowd at a party or on your body while out and about on the hiking trails.

After downloading the app to your smartphone, you set up the device and you are ready to start capturing those memories. From your smartphone, you can live-preview what is in the camera’s 130 degree field of view. You can then view the captured clips from your smartphone and decide which ones you want to save or discard. It features 16GB internal storage; but offers unlimited storage if you use the Google Pixel smartphone.

With Google Machine learning built in, Clips is able to recognize and automatically save moments with facial expressions. And over time, it will learn to recognize the people you spend time with and automatically capture clips of your moments together.

The resolution technology is so clear for something so small. You can be hands-free, when the kids and pets are running around and you are trying to get the right focus. You can hold it clip it, or set it down if you like. And Google clips sends the motion pictures right to your phone.

The Clips is new to the market and I suspect Google will be continue to improve the camera’s capabilities as time goes on. The initial set-up took a little time because the instructions given on the app were not clear. But once I got it set-up and determine how to use the device, it worked well and was easier the more I used it. The movement and facial-recognition feature works well made it easy to get in-the-moment clips. The device’s battery does not stay charged for a long period of time. In less than 30 minutes, the battery was already at 50 percent. So keep this in mind when you want to be sure to capture the memories from the birthday party or day at the beach. It will need to be charged regularly. The Clips retails for $249, which for some may be too much to spend on new technology. In our opinion, the price needs to come down and the technology upgraded to invest our own money on it.
