If you’ve been wanting a tracker for Android’s Find My Device network, Pebblebee is offering one of the first discounts we’ve seen with a few dollars off of the Pebblebee Clip.

With the Pixel 9 series, Google introduced a new collection of ringtones and alarm sounds called “Sound Matters” that’s now rolling out to previous devices.

The latest Google Camera 9.5 update is rolling out now, and it even includes manual controls for the Astrophotography mode on Pixel.

Google’s switch to Tensor chips in the Pixel lineup has been overall pretty good, despite plenty of hiccups, but one of the loudest complaints has been how Google’s chips simply don’t compare when put through a benchmark. That’s not changing with Tensor G4 because Google said it developed the Pixel 9 chip with real-world improvements in mind.

The earliest Pixel 9 pre-orders are shipping from August 22, but with 4 devices to choose from, here’s what you told us you have coming later this week.

Back in July, the Google Store already teased a pre-order gift for Australia, Japan, and Singapore. We now know it’s an “exclusive design sketch poster” for the Pixel 9 Pro series.

On Tuesday, Google announced that Zoom Enhance will be available on the Pixel 9 Pro series and is rolling out to the Pixel 8 Pro. Ahead of that, here’s a lot more examples and details on how Pixel Zoom Enhance works.

This week’s debut of the Pixel 9 series brought some big upgrades to the lineup, but have also taken another step into making Google’s Pixel lineup incredibly confusing when looking at what’s available and the different prices.

Google has added a new UI for Assistant on Android Auto that appears during voice interactions, and it looks suspiciously similar to Apple’s Siri.

Since launch, Google Messages has not allowed RCS on more than one phone number, but the app is now adding support for dual (multi) SIM.

With its compact size and sound by JBL, you could be forgiven for thinking you’re looking at a portable speaker suitable for your next pool party. You wouldn’t be wrong about that, but the Yaber Projector T2 Plus is also a complete outdoor projector.

The T2 Plus aims to blend style, performance, and convenience – and a 9to5Google promo code means you can now pick one up at an unbeatable price.

YouTube Music introduced the Quick picks in 2020 and a big update to the shelf will let you quickly create a multi-song radio. 

Gemini is now available on the Pixel Tablet if you have the “app” installed. Notably, some of the Google Assistant experience is preserved.

Just a few days after its release, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is fully out of stock at the Google Store, but still available, for now, at some other retailers.

Android 15 Beta 4.2 is the final patch before the stable launch and Google has posted the last feedback survey.

As previewed at I/O 2024 in May, the Gemini Q&A panel is now more broadly available in Gmail for Android and iOS if you’re part of Workspace Labs. In essence, this is a more complete version of Gemini for your emails on mobile.

Welcome to episode 21 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, we recap Made by Google 2024, including the Pixel 9 and Pixel Watch 3.
