If it's not already on your Android device, Google Lens is now available as a standalone app from the Play Store.。 Lens is useful if you see something but don't know exactly what it is, or want more information. Launched at Google I/O last year, the intelligent camera allows you to identify an artwork, landmarks, or even dogs (albeit not so well). 。 SEE ALSO:Someone attached a massive Canon lens to a Game Boy Camera, and it actually worked
