They’ll get their 1,000 stores in one felt swoop, and they can put anything they want into them. The stores on average are 25,000 square feet bigger than they need to be,”… Source link

Google just dumped a whole bunch of news about its upcoming Pixel 6 smartphone. Maybe the company was looking to get out in front of August 11’s big Samsung event — or perhaps it’s just hoping to keep people interested in the months leading up to a big fall announcement (and beat additional leaks to the punch). In either case, we got the first look at the upcoming Android smartphone, including a fairly massive redesign of the camera system on the rear. The company has traded its… Source link
