Google finally sent shockwaves through the smartphone industry with its impressive Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones. Now Google has done it again by accidentally leaking both the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.  Google Pixel 7 Pro concept render LetsGoDigital MORE FROM FORBESApple Just Gave 1.5 Billion iPad, iPhone Users A Reason To LeaveBy Gordon Kelly Google leaked both devices in the code for Android 13, the developer preview of which was released this week….

The Pixel Stand 2 is a tailor-made accessory for Google’s impressive Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones. Delivering fast wireless charging speeds and exclusive features in a robust design, the $79.99 Pixel Stand 2 is not cheap, so you’ll need a good reason to plunk down the cash for this latest Google accessory. We spent a week with the new Pixel Stand to find out if it’s worth the price and if this premium wireless charger is… Source link

Google can’t seem to catch a break with software updates for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, the first phones that are powered by the company’s own Tensor chip. After having to pull an earlier update that caused a rash of bugs and connectivity issues for early buyers of the phones, Google tried to get back on track by taking its time with the January update. That seemed to go okay, and yesterday, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro both received the February software release (with more bug fixes in… Source link

Google is rolling out its February update for Pixel phones running Android 12, which is meant to fix a few camera, Bluetooth, and keyboard issues. The company says that some users will start getting the update today and that the “rollout will continue over the next week in phases depending on carrier and device.” Google’s previous update process was a bit of a fiasco for Pixel 6 owners, so hopefully, this one ends up being more routine. If you’ve got one of Google’s latest… Source link

A Google-produced coloring book may have just offered the first official mention of the Pixel 6A, the rumored affordable followup to last year’s flagship Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, Droid-Life reports. The coloring book was sent out alongside a Nest Audio smart speaker to members of Google’s Pixel Superfans group, which was launched last year to provide a “VIP experience for Pixel lovers” including access to “limited-edition swag.” Images of the coloring book shared by Droid-Life show… Source link

We weren’t being coy when we named the $599 Pixel 6 and $899 Pixel 6 Pro the best Android phones money can buy. Four months down the road that stands, but another mid-range phone has made its debut — the $699 Galaxy S21 FE. Samsung phones are generally fantastic Android devices, and the S21 FE is no exception. But with a price that’s $100 more than the Pixel 6, is the Galaxy S21 FE worth it? Or does the Pixel 6 still get the job… Source link

The latest Google Pixel Stand is less of a “must-have” accessory if you’re a Pixel phone owner and more of a “nice to have.” For $79, its primary job is fast wireless charging, and it does that well. But unless you’re a Pixel 6 or 6 Pro owner and you’re really sold on one of the stand’s handful of extra features supported by your phone, then you’d be better off saving your money and getting an inexpensive third-party charger. … Source link

Google is in the process of releasing a much-anticipated update for Pixel 6 phones. Earlier today, Android expert Mishaal Rahman noted that Google posted OTA and factory images to its developer site for the January 2022 patch. That means anyone can sideload the update to their Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro now, and the official over-the-air update has already arrived on some devices (including some owned by Verge staff). In an email, Google confirmed the rollout has begun, and that the software… Source link

You might think a Google phone would be the best choice to control your Google-branded speakers, but that’s not necessarily true: Google’s actions have potentially opened the door for other manufacturers to do what the Pixel legally cannot, writes Android sleuth Mishaal Rahman at Esper. Last week, we wrote how “Your Google home speakers are about to get slightly worse because Sonos sued and won.” If you’re using a Google Pixel, that’s true — among other things, you won’t… Source link

Google is bringing an update to older Pixel devices to fix a dangerous bug that prevents users from calling 911, as noted by a post on a Google support page. The bug stems from an unintended interaction between the Android OS and Microsoft Teams — it only affects devices with Android 10 or later and could occur if you have Teams installed but aren’t signed in. The update resolves the “issue preventing emergency calls in certain conditions” On the support page, Google notes that… Source link
