PSA: Canceling your Pixel 10 pre-order could cost you your existing Google One subscription

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-11 23:17:00

TL;DR Google is offering free yearly AI Pro and Google One subscriptions to those who pre-order the Pixel 10, and will compensate those who already pay for those services. But if you cancel your pre-order, Google will cancel your existing subscription, besides revoking those benefits. If you re-order another Pixel 10 device, you may not be eligible for these perks as they are limited to once per customer. Google’s Pixel 10 devices can be fairly tempting, especially for the new Pixelsnap charg

Thanks to Magic Cue, the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL now have a new weather-related feature that makes weather reports even more personal, but sadly, not for everyone.

The Pixel 10 is unquestionably the best phone for people fed up with the iPhone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-11 14:00:04

Google has tried for years to lure iPhone owners to Pixel phones. This has even manifested in the company’s Best Friends Forever series of videos, as well as an RCS messaging campaign targeting Apple. That’s in addition to features like the Android Switch app and wired transfer capabilities to help make it easier to move your data. Now that the Pixel 10 phones are here, though, they might just be the best Android phones for people coming from iPhones. And it doesn’t have anything to do with qui

Google’s rollout of Bluetooth audio sharing on Pixels has been a mess

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-11 16:00:13

TL;DR Google’s new Pixel Buds 2a lack Bluetooth audio sharing, highlighting a confusing and inconsistent implementation of the Auracast feature across Pixel devices. The feature is mysteriously disabled on the Pixel Buds Pro 2 when paired with a Pixel phone and artificially blocked on budget A-series phones. This haphazard approach hinders the adoption of the universal Auracast standard, which could solve audio sharing issues for all consumers. Google’s newly announced Pixel Buds 2a are a big

With a starting price of $999, it offers a compelling blend of premium features borrowed from its more expensive sibling, all in the more manageable size of the standard Pixel 10.

Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: I compared both Androids, and here's the winner

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-12-11 12:00:20

Joseph Maldonado and Kerry Wan/ZDNET The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has finally arrived, and it isn't taking on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a generational design leap. Instead, it competes by adding quality-of-life features -- a couple of which are industry-firsts for a foldable phone. If you are ready to upgrade from a slab phone to a foldable one, now is the best time to do so. However, it can be confusing to make a decision when both Google and Samsung book-style foldables are so good this year.

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Right after blowing our minds with the new AI-powered Voice Translate feature on the Pixel 10, Google went and dashed our hopes of seeing a new Pixel Tablet anytime soon. The company told Bloomberg that it has “paused development on a tablet overhaul until it figures out a meaningful future for the category,” which sure sounds like Google has given up on tablets once again. That’s a huge shame, though, because Android has gotten way better on tablets since Goo

Joseph Maldonado/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Google's new Pixel 10 isn't worth the upgrade for me. It comes down to cost, color, and lack of new killer features. Too much AI is also a deterrent. The new Pixel 10 is upon us, and, as usual, Google wants us all to upgrade. For many of us, trading in our current model for a discount on the newer version has become a yearly tradition. I've done it ever since Google adopted the trade-in policy, and it has served me well. However, this year is di

Acronis True Image costs performance when not used

Over two years ago I installed Acronis True Image for Crucial in order to migrate my data to a new SSD I had just purchased. It worked. I then left True Image installed “just in case”, and what harm could that possibly cause. Well, funny you should ask.

The new Pixels are here, and, to be frank, they’re a bit of a mixed bag in terms of upgrades. Perhaps one of the most significant changes to last year’s formula is that the Google Pixel 10 now features a third camera, bringing longer-range zoom capabilities to Google’s more affordable model and bringing it closer to the best camera phones. For the same $799 price tag as last year, the Pixel 10 has become much more appealing to the series’ photography fans. But is there still a good reason to gr

A lot of people seem to be dunking on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold for being a little too thick around the edges. And it’s true, next to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, Google’s latest foldable may not look nearly as elegant or futuristic. The company clearly wasn’t chasing thinness like the rest of the players in the foldable game, and the result is a foldable phone that looks chunkier and is even a tad heavier than its predecessor.
