Exercise annotation that the features are switched off past default, so you'll have to switch them on manually in case you want to try them out.

Interestingly, the screenshots also seem to show that aslope pinch-to-zoom, Google Labs is also bringing a new screenshot editing feature that the company says will allow users to "edit (their) screenshots, explore them with Lens, share them with a link and more". The new features are apparently being rolled out for users worldwide, and then they should presently exist available for all Android smartphones irrespective of their make and model.
