Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s preparing some screen upgrades for the Pixel 10 family, including a more eye-friendly PWM mode. In addition to that, we’re also expecting brighter panels for the Pixel 10 line’s displays. All Pixel 10 phones should be at least 200 nits brighter than their Pixel 9 equivalents.

Did this Google Pixel 11 leak just kill the Pixel 10?

Ryan Haines / Android Authority If the rumors are true, the Google Pixel 10 is just a few short months away. And between new camera features, a 3nm Tensor G5 chipset, and a host of new AI capabilities, there’s a lot to look forward to. But does any of that matter anymore? Yesterday, a new report shed light on fresh details for 2026’s Pixel 11 series — specifically that Google’s Pixel 11 handsets will feature a TSMC-made Tensor G6 chip with a 2nm fabrication design.

Joe Maring / Android Authority With over 131 million subscribers as of Q1 2025, T-Mobile is the second-largest telecom carrier in the US. However, recent decisions like retiring the Go5G lineup of plans in favor of the new Experience plans and unbundling taxes and fees from monthly prices have caused many users to start looking for alternatives in case they want to jump ship. We asked users what carrier they would choose as a T-Mobile alternative, and Google Fi and Visible turned up as the top

Depending on how you use cell phones -- and maybe even your hand size, Google's latest tweak just might be a very welcome change. Starting Tuesday, Chrome for Android users can now place the address bar at the bottom of their phone screens, a move that finally comes nearly 17 years after the first Android phone hit the market in 2008. Users can still keep the address bar at the top, but being able to have it at the bottom might make sense for folks with a certain hand size or phone size. In a

TL;DR A browser with its address bar at the bottom of the screen is a desirable layout for mobile devices. Chrome on iOS got this option back in 2023, but has so far lacked it on Android. Today, Google finally starts giving Android users the choice, as well.
