A major ice and snow storm is hitting huge parts of the United States this week, and in preparing for the storm, I was watching the forecasts closely across a slew of different weather apps for Android. And, sadly, Pixel Weather was perhaps one of the least accurate I was using.
We may be approaching six months on from the Pixel 10 launch, but with time comes the best deals. The latest is a steal with the Pixel 10 Pro dipping well below the $600 barrier on Amazon.
Last year, the Pixel Phone app introduced “Take a Message” to automatically “handle your missed or declined calls.” A very small number of users have encountered an issue where “Take a Message” is sending their audio to the caller.
The Northern Lights have been visible in huge portions of the Northern Hemisphere due to stronger geomagnetic storms. Here’s how to take a picture of the Northern Lights using a Google Pixel smartphone or other Android devices.
According to a new report, Google is moving not only the production, but development of (most) Pixel phones out of China going forward and over to Vietnam.
I’m a really big fan of how Google designs its smartphones, but if there’s one nitpick I have, it’s that the base Pixel phones keep getting a glossy glass finish on the back. After throwing a simple clear matte skin on the back of my Pixel 10 recently, I’m even more convinced Google needs to switch going forward.
The year in updates is getting underway with the January 2026 security patch for Android 16 QPR2 on the Pixel 7a, Tablet, Fold, 8, 8 Pro, 8a, 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, 9 Pro Fold, 9a, Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
Google’s Pixel smartphones will probably never compete with the likes of Apple or Samsung on the global smartphone stage, but the growth remains, as Google Pixel reportedly grew by 25% in 2025.
The portfolio of Pixel-exclusive apps grew in 2025 in a trend that will only continue as Google works to differentiate its experience. Notably, availability was not limited to just new devices.
The Pixel series is one of the best Android devices available. Even though Android’s guided setup process does a fine job, there are a few settings we suggest you change before using your new Google Pixel.
Google is continuing to try and get customers to check out its growing lineup of Pixel devices, and now, a new plan in India is hoping to spur some further momentum.
Some Pixel owners today are getting a new December 2025 update today after installing the initial release (Android 16 QPR2) at the start of this month.
As a part of the Android 16 QPR3 beta update that rolled out to Google Pixel phones yesterday, Google has also updated its emoji set to include a few refreshed designs ahead of a larger update to come.
Google Pixel phones are adding support for the three-button layout used in navigation by Samsung Galaxy smartphones, but only in the latest beta for now.
Android 16 is widely available on Pixel devices, but Google continues to run beta programs for the latest updates. Here’s the newest Android 16 Beta available for Google Pixel, and how you can install it.
As part of yesterday’s Android 16 QPR2 launch and new features drop, Google is ending Samsung’s exclusivity on continuous Circle to Search translations.
