YouTube has just revealed details on how it will broadcast Coachella next week, including support for multiview, 4K streams, and even a feed shot by Google Pixel.

We’ve seen a handful of Pixel 11 leaks, being handed out in order from smallest to largest device. Where every other Pixel 11 iteration has changed in some way, the Pixel 11 Pro XL shows almost no alterations in this leak. This first look shows CAD renders of Google’s next largest release.

YouTube is ending testing for its conversational “Ask” AI feature on TVs and rolling it out to all users soon.

After announcing with the March 2026 Feature Drop, Google is now widely rolling out Transit mode to “turn on helpful settings while you’re on the train” and real-time commute updates in At a Glance.

Over the past two generations of Pixel, Google has built its smartphone brand into one of the few brands able to find (relative) growth in an increasingly-stagnant arena. Today, we’re getting our first look at this year’s Pixel 11, and despite being an anniversary release, it’s looking like we’re getting a third take on Google’s current design.

YouTube for Android is rolling out support for Android Auto but, before you get too excited, keep in mind that what you can actually do with it is rather limited.

Google released Android 17 Beta 3 yesterday with a handful of interesting additions, but as is often the case, the coolest features are the ones typically hidden just below the surface — or, in this case, behind some secret flags. The company appears to be working on a new way for Pixel users to automatically fill their home screen with suggested apps, widgets, and more, and it could completely change how you layout your smartphone’s launcher.

Google made several key deals to ensure its products would be integrated into the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, including sponsorships and partnerships with some of the biggest national teams – Argentina and France.

YouTube has certainly proven itself to be a bit of a pain for viewers lately, especially those members of its audience attempting to bypass ads. Today’s issue takes it to a whole new level, though, as some users are struggling to use the site without seeing repeated CAPTCHAs blocking access to videos.

Some Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy users have been running into problems with Android Auto as of late, but fixes are now rolling out, Google says.

2026 and the ongoing RAM/storage crisis continues to put out a rough outlook for the year ahead, and Android brands are bearing the brunt of that with a new forecast revealing that Android shipments could drop as much as 15% this year to the iPhone’s 2%, but there is a bit of hope for Google Pixel.

Ahead of Apple’s debut in the foldable smartphone market, Google Pixel has carved out a spot of its own and, apparently, it won’t fully drop off the map once Apple changes the game.

The 2026 World Cup kicks off in several months across several streaming services, and FIFA has declared YouTube an official partner of the competition. Here’s what that means.

For over five years now, Pixel users have had a powerful tool built into their Recents menu: the ability to select text and images for quick copying, sharing, and more. With Android 16 QPR3, however, the images side of things is getting a pretty massive downgrade, and it’s not exactly clear as to why.

Google has started selling a couple of new Pixel accessories including a 3-in-1 charging dock for your phone, Buds, and Pixel Watch 4.

Google says that its new 30-second ad format for YouTube is now available, but only on TVs.

YouTube has hit a major milestone, with the vast depths of its content library now making it not only a behemoth, but the world’s largest media company – and it’s not close.

As part of the March 2026 Feature Drop, Pixel phones are getting two features to help “manage your commute,” including Transit mode.

With this month’s rollout of Android 16 QPR3 and its associated Pixel Drop, anyone rocking one of Google’s growing collection of Pixels is finally getting access to something we’ve waited on for a long time: custom app icons. Unfortunately, using this feature is locked behind a basic set of generative AI tools, and compared to what you’ll find on other launchers — from both first and third-party developers — it’s just not good enough.

AI video generation is a real concern. Even in an era where AI videos tend to sport attributes that give the game away — like Coca Cola’s rapidly-transforming semi-truck in last year’s Christmas ad — it’s often good enough to fool audiences, which is why some platform owners are trying to get ahead of any potentially problematic deepfakes.

A while back, YouTube for Android TV introduced an account switcher at login or after cold boot, but it is now changing once again by showing any and all family members part of an existing Premium family plan.

Smartphone cases are something we all use, but I don’t get why Samsung and Google keep making the same annoying mistake when it comes to their first-party Galaxy and Pixel cases.
