I need to find out whether this new real time translation feature is good or lame.
Specifically I'm wondering if it can translate a lengthy lecture or if it is only capable of snippets.
I understand that automated translations are often highly problematic and have experience with google text translations.

If it isn't good I will get a much cheaper motorola X 4 instead, because it works on project FI.
I must get a new phone, you would laugh out loud if you knew what I have now

I know the real time translation feature requires
* google earbuds costing $150
* any pixel phone
 
Probably only one way to find out since it's so new; buy them and if they don't work well enough for your purpose, just return them.
 
It may work decently between, say, Germanic languages but that's about it. Nothing will ever translate Finnish decently, for example.
