Cons

Google Lens doesn’t always get it right, and for objects that aren't so obvious, it's more likely to misidentify them.

From the actual experience, this is a very practical and close to life application. You can search online for unusual items you can’t name or forget what they are called. Of course, this process is also extremely simple, and there is no difficulty at all. You simply place the item alone against a solid color background and capture it with the lens, just like you would take a photo on a smartphone. Then wait a moment and let it search. To tell the truth, it’s really addictive and it really helps you find items that are similar to whatever you’re referring to.

With the help of MUM, the brand-new Google Lens allows users to precisely search for the answers they want by using only pictures and keywords. For example, if there is a problem with a car part while riding a bicycle, you only need to take a picture of the broken part through Google Lens, and then enter “how to repair it?”, you can search for the corresponding solution, which is really convenient.
