A neat new trick debuting on the Google Pixel 9 series is the ability to restore data from another Android device after setup has been completed.

Following Android (and even iOS with a shortcut), Circle to Search — officially “Drag to search” —  is coming to desktop Chrome/Chromebooks with a very prominent Google Lens icon.

As Pixel 9 pre-orders begin arriving at your door, the unboxing experience isn’t what it once was. Since 2021, Google has ditched the charger, skipped the extras, and now even the plastic has been omitted—here’s what comes in the Pixel 9 box.

One of the new AI-powered launch features on the Pixel 9 series is Pixel Studio, an app that takes text prompts and turns them into images. It might end up being a fun little tool, but it can also go off the rails pretty easily in our experience.

The best applications of AI on the Pixel 9 Pro let people benefit from what large language models (LLMs) are good at — summarization, natural language/multimodal understanding, classification, etc. — without having to enter a prompt. The fact that Google identified this best practice is promising as the underlying hardware admirably provides premium hardware in a compact form factor. 

After missing its original planned release date, Samsung is now rumored to launch its One UI 7 beta program with Android 15 in September, but there’s reason to be hesitant.

In a somewhat unexpected move, Google has stopped selling a lot of color options for the Active Band that’s available for the Pixel Watch series.

Last August, Pixel became the official phone of Arsenal and Liverpool Football Club, with Google   now marking the sponsorship with some new wallpapers.

Google is updating Help me write in Gmail with a “Polish” draft feature on Android, iOS, and the web.

Ahead of the launch on Thursday, Google has published the Android 14 factory images for the first three phones in the Pixel 9 series.

Over the past few weeks, some Google TV owners have noted a homescreen “loading error” which has lately been appearing for many more users, but there is one potentially simple fix.

Ahead of the upcoming season, YouTube TV is getting a handful of NFL Sunday Ticket updates, like custom multiview, to improve the subscriber experience.

After introducing on iOS last year, Chrome for Android and desktop will soon replace the “Chrome Sync” system with a more standard Google Account sign in approach.

With this year’s hardware devices, Google has an entirely new uniform packaging. In detailing the design, Google gives us a Pixel Watch 3 unboxing today. 

Google’s Pixel Watch series has pretty good hardware, but one issue that’s plagued the series is repairability. That won’t be changing with Pixel Watch 3, unfortunately, as repairs continue to not be an option.

Google has confirmed that Fitbit as a brand will no longer be making new smartwatches, with the Pixel Watch series taking over that form factor going forward.

Qualcomm has announced a new SoC in its lineup, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3. The new chip brings on-device AI, better CPU performance, and promising camera capabilities.

After teasers and snippets, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3 has officially launched as a follow-up to one of last year’s best Bluetooth accessories.
