Google Pixel

Google is working on two location-based features for the Pixel At a Glance widget with “Passes nearby” and “Restaurant insights.”

The Pixel’s Take a Message feature that answers calls on your behalf and lets you view live transcripts is now adding custom greetings.

A new report calls out the top smartphone makers in the US for their poor device repairability scores, but Google Pixel did come out ahead of Apple’s iPhone and Samsung’s Galaxy devices.

The smartphone market is likely to undergo more change as memory prices show no let-up, and recent data suggests devices like the Google Pixel series are positioned to get the most sales benefit out of another tough year.

We may be approaching nine months on from the Pixel 10 launch, but with time comes the best deals. One of those right now makes the Pixel 10 Pro XL a steal at well below the $650 barrier on Amazon.

The Pixel 10a launched about a month ago in most of the world, but has been absent in Japan despite prior success for the Pixel in that region. That’s finally changing, though, as the Pixel 10a is now available for pre-order in Japan and, on top of that, it gets a special “Isai Blue” color that’s exclusive to the region.

We’re not due for any new Google Pixel phones in the near future, but a surprise teaser has just dropped with the reveal that an exclusive new model is hitting the market this week, and we might already have some idea of what that is.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
