With the release of the August Android update, the original Pixel 4a received what should have been its final update.

The November Android update for Pixel devices that Google just released wasn’t expected to be a major update. We just got Android 14 last month as a Pixel Feature Drop, and we know that December’s update is a big QPR1 build, so for November, a sprinkling of bug fixes onto specific devices would make sense. … Continued Read the original post: Google Fixes 7 Bugs in Pixel’s November Update Read more ›

It’s the first Monday of the month, so Google did as it typically does – it released the Android security bulletin. Nope, it didn’t drop a Google Pixel update on us yet, because Google de-committed from that schedule earlier this year and essentially confirmed that they wanted more update freedom starting with Android 14 and … Continued Read the original post: November’s Android Security Bulletin Arrives, But No Pixel Update...

Google spent the majority of its Pixel 8 launch event talking about AI, just like they did at Google I/O a few months earlier. Qualcomm couldn’t stop talking about all of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s on-device AI a couple of weeks ago either. Samsung, who is likely to announce a Galaxy S24 running that … Continued Read the original post: The Pitch for AI Might be Worse Than the... Read more ›

After all these years, I’m still not a big user of cases because I don’t like the added bulk they bring to phones that are already too large, but every once in a while I find one that tempts me into slapping one on a phone for a while.

Ahh yes, we’ve reached it – we are now at the part of a new Pixel phone’s launch where the masses have had the new phones long enough to start pointing out flaws.

In my Pixel 8 Pro review, I pointed out that the in-display fingerprint reader Google used was once again not the best. This is an optical fingerprint reader that blasts a bunch of light onto your finger to read it and verify that it is yours before unlocking. It works most of the time, but it’s … Continued Read the original post: Pixel 8 Pro’s Face Unlock is the Minor... Read more ›
