Android 15 Beta 4.2 is the final preview release before a stable launch. Google is now preparing testers for the Android 15 December Quarterly Platform Release (or QPR1). 

Almost a month after the “last scheduled update,” Android 15 Beta 4.2 rolled out earlier today with more Pixel fixes.

After Google was found to have a monopoly over online search, the US Justice Department will next offer proposals to a judge on how to remedy the situation. New reports today detail how the DOJ might ask for a breakup of Google, specifically Android and/or Chrome.

In another sign that we’re in the Gemini era, Google has added the AI sparkle to the boot screen of the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and 9 Pro Fold.

Google’s new Pixel Watch 3 is coming with a nice perk for LTE buyers, with each model getting two years of free LTE data with purchase.

In an unsurprising move, Google has discontinued the original Pixel Fold following the debut of its sequel, as well as pulling the plug on the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.

The Pixel 9 series brings a faster charging speed than any other previous versions, so Google opted to launch a new 45W fast charger that pairs along nicely. However, it is not included with the phones.

During the Made by Google event that launched the Pixel Watch 3, the Pixel Watch 2 dropped in price to $249 from its original $349 tag.

The Google Pixel 9 series is here, and one of the biggest upgrades it delivers is the use of a new ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and it’s the same one used in Samsung Galaxy devices.

Google is offering some of its highest trade-in values to date on the Pixel 9 series, with deals on the Google Store offering up to $760 depending on what you’re getting.

Trade-in values take the sting out of the cost of a new smartphone, but if you’re hoping to upgrade from last year’s Pixel Fold to the drastically improved Pixel 9 Pro Fold, you’ll be shelling out over $1,000 to do so.

At the Made by Google event, Google announced the Pixel Buds Pro 2 earbuds. Instead of a mere 17 regions like last year, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 will be available in a staggering 32 countries.

The Pixel 9 series is officially available to pre-order. The new series brings a refreshing new design, is capable of more AI, and even offers a new size variant – the Pixel 9 Pro XL. If you plan on pre-ordering, this guide will help you narrow down your options and find the best deal.

With the launch of the Pixel 9 series, Google has a handful of accessibility updates and features, including an update to the Magnifier app.

The Pixel 9 series has officially been unveiled with several important new camera features and upgrades. Here’s everything new.

Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold is a drastic update from the Pixel Fold that launched before it, especially when it comes to the aspect ratio of the two displays. The reason for the change, though, is a good thing.

Besides updating existing apps to show more content on the bigger screen, Google is bringing Recorder to the Pixel Watch 3. Google Home for Wear OS is also picking up some new features, like a Google TV Remote Tile.

After the official launch keynote, the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL are now available to pre-order in 32 countries across the globe – the most for a Pixel ever.

Besides launching the Pixel 9 with Android 14, another impact of Google’s decision to host its annual hardware event about two months early are the staggered ship dates.

Pixel Screenshots is one of the headlining features of Google’s new Pixel 9 series. The app leverages on-device Gemini Nano with Multimodality to summarize your screenshots and make them searchable.  

The foldable market is full of different approaches to the same core ideas, and that’s very evident just from a quick look at the competition the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be facing. Here’s a quick comparison of Google’s new Pixel 9 Pro Fold to the OnePlus Open and Galaxy Z Fold 6.
