The Galaxy Watch 4 is Samsung and Google’s attempt to combine efforts and compete with Apple’s smartwatch – and it gets about 80% of the way there. The Android smartwatch comes in two designs and four sizes, starting at £249 ($250) for the Watch 4 and £349 ($350) – as tested – for the Watch 4 Classic. They succeed the £269 Watch Active 2 and £399 Watch 3 respectively. The two designs have the same chips, features and screen sizes, but the stainless steel Classic has Samsung’s… Source link

CNN —   “Hey Google, play music on Spotify.” I utter those same six words at least once a day to my Nest Mini, usually as I’m stepping into the bathroom to prepare for an epic shower singalong.

CNN —   You don’t need to spend close to $1,000 for a smartphone with great cameras and long battery life.

Enter the Pixel 5a with 5G — Google’s latest affordable device joins the $349 4a and $499 4a 5G. The 5a with 5G is $449 and up for preorder now, with deliveries starting on Aug. 26. And… Source link

While Google’s game-streaming technology has worked well since day one, its limited library and functionality left a lot to be desired.
