I've owned every Google Pixel flagship phone since the first - here's why 2025 will be different

Kerry Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Google Pixel 10 is expected to receive significant upgrades this year, including a dedicated telephoto lens. Greater feature parity with the Pro models, combined with no expected price increases, makes the standard Pixel an enticing option. It still won't be the best option for power users, especially if you want the most capable camera system from Google. Google's non-Pro Pixel phone has always been the "safe pick." It's the model I recommend to mo

We asked Gemini for a story about the Pixel 10 launch and it hallucinated a bizarre foldable

Stephen Schenck / Android Authority Summer’s been going by so fast, it’s hard to believe that we’re already down to just two weeks to go until Google’s August 20 event, where we’re expecting to see the company introduce the Pixel 10 series, the Pixel Watch 4, and some new Pixel Buds. As that date keeps creeping up on us, we’re learning more and more about what we’re likely to get. Some of it sounds great, like the full-featured Qi2 magnetic charging support, while we’re a little bummed by other

Why I'm considering the Google Pixel 10 over the Pro models this year (and I'm not alone)

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Google's non-Pro Pixel phone has always been the "safe pick." It's the model I recommend to most users, so long as they can live without the Pro features -- whether that's an extra telephoto camera, more RAM, or better hardware. Also: This rumored Pixel 10 feature puts Google above Samsung and OnePlus for me - here's why While there's little left to the imagination as far as what the upcoming Google Pixel 10 phones will look like, if the leaks and rumors are true, there will b

Google can’t plug the leaks: Pixel 10 Pro XL renders spill online

TL;DR A leak may have revealed marketing renders of the Pixel 10 Pro XL. The renders show the Pixel 10 Pro XL in Moonstone and Obsidian. The leak also shares renders of the base model. We’re two weeks away from the August 20 Made by Google event. At the launch party, we’ll finally get the unveiling of the Pixel 10 series, which should be followed up by the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a. But if you don’t want to wait that long for the official reveal, then feast your eyes on these new render

Google just pulled a Pixel phone from its store, and you can guess why

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google has stopped selling the refurbished Pixel 6a, previously available for $249. The move follows multiple reports of Pixel 6a battery fires and overheating incidents. A recent update aimed at reducing the risk hasn’t prevented further cases. After a string of overheating incidents and a battery-limiting update, it looks like the Pixel 6a’s time on Google’s refurbished store is up. The company has quietly stopped selling the device, which had been the

Google Pixel 10 launch: new phones, foldables and watches at the Made by Google event

After largely focusing Google I/O 2025 on the ways the company wants Gemini to change everything from searching the web to filmmaking, Google is finally ready to launch new hardware. The next Made by Google event is on the books for August 20, and Google has already confirmed what at least one of its new Pixel 10 phones will look like. Google remains as leak-prone as ever, so nearly all the new hardware the company is expected to announce has all ready been reported on in one form or another. W

Pixel 10 phones may coach you on how to take better photos

Google TL;DR Google could introduce a Gemini-powered feature called “Camera Coach” with the Pixel 10 series. Camera Coach would give you tips in real-time on how to take the best picture. It will reportedly work by analyzing the scene to provide suggestions. Capturing the best photo can be more difficult than it seems. It requires finding the right angle, the right lighting, making sure the subject is in the right spot, and the list goes on. To help improve your picture-taking skills, it app

I love the Samsung Z Fold 7, but these Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold features can win me over

Kerry Wan/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to launch on August 20, but it might not go on sale till October 9. It will be difficult for Google to beat Samsung in the foldable segment this year due to design differences. Unless there's an actually useful AI feature or significantly better battery life, I'll stick with my Galaxy Z Fold 7. Samsung turned around its foldable phone lineup at its Galaxy Unpacked event last month. After years of iterative upgrad

The Pixel 6 Pro camera crashes when zooming, and there is no fix in sight

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR A persistent bug causes the Pixel 6 Pro’s camera app to crash when switching from 1x to 4x during a 4K 30fps video. Despite appearing as early as February and spanning multiple updates, there’s still no official fix. Customer service allegedly blames hardware, requiring out-of-warranty repairs. Although the Pixel 6 series is a few years old, the flagship phones still have plenty of life left. The Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are promised to receive updates until

Survey reveals what you really think of Pixel 10 with built-in Qi2 magnets

The Pixel 10 series launches later this month, and recent leaks suggest that Google will finally bring Qi2 magnetic wireless charging to these phones via built-in magnets. Google wouldn’t be the first Android OEM to offer this support (hello, HMD), but it’s still a major expansion of the tech. Colleague Joe Maring says this leak has convinced him to buy a Pixel 10 phone. But what do readers think of this technology on the Pixel 10 series? We asked, and here’s what you told us.

The latest Pixel Watch 4 leak comes from Google itself

TL;DR Official renders of the Pixel Watch 4 have leaked online, providing a clean and detailed look at the device. The leak shows off different case and strap color combinations across both sizes of the Pixel Watch 4 (41mm and 45mm). However, it’s unclear if all combinations will be available for both watch sizes. Google is all set to announce the next set of Pixel devices on August 20, 2025, including the Pixel Watch 4. We’ve seen plenty of leaks for the watch so far, including details on it

Google's latest Pixel update fixes unresponsive button issue

Google is rolling a fix for a bug that made some Pixel users' three-button navigation unresponsive with its monthly software update this August. As The Verge notes, after the company released Android 16 in June, Pixel users have been reporting that their buttons are being unresponsive or that it's taking up to 30 seconds for their device to register a tap. Some said they have to press the back button several times for the three-button menu to start working. Users from across Pixel models, includ

You’re the software head for Google Pixel: What would you add, revive, or copy from other phones?

Joe Maring / Android Authority 🗣️ This is an open thread. We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments and vote in the poll below — your take might be featured in a future roundup. I have a love/hate relationship with my Google Pixel. On one hand, I love the smaller software features that often go unnoticed but significantly enhance my experience. “Flip to Shhh” and “Now Playing” are just two examples. On the other hand, I do notice some concerning issues. The clean UI is a r

The 5 Google Pixel 10 features I’m most excited about

Google We’re still a few weeks away from Google’s official launch day for the Pixel 10 series, but as is tradition in the technology world, the phones have no secrets anymore. Even Google has already shown us the Pixel 10 series a few times, and many other rumors and tidbits have slipped through other cracks. At face value, though, this seems like a minor upgrade across the board. The phones look pretty much the same as last year, and there are no significant camera changes, so I’ve been feeli

Google is rolling out a fix for Pixel back button issues

The issues appear to have started popping up shortly after the official release of Android 16 in June. Ever since that update, the user said that navigation has been “a complete mess” and that they ran into issues with buttons being “completely unresponsive” or delays of “over 30 seconds” on their Pixel 8 Pro. Another user said they had to occasionally press the back button “a few times” on their Pixel 9 to get the phone to register it. The swipe gesture to navigate back also occasionally stoppe

Google's Pixel Watch 4, Fold Pro 10 and Buds 2a are rumored to launch later than the rest of its new gear

Whatever you do, don’t buy a Google Pixel phone right now

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google’s Pixel phones are often among the most highly-regarded in the Android world. The most recent Pixel 9 series is no exception to that rule, and, if anything, it’s the best example of it yet. Whether we’re talking about the baseline Pixel 9 or any of the flagship Pixel 9 Pro models, the current slate of Google Pixel phones is mighty impressive. That all said, if you’re in the market for a new Android phone right now, you absolutely should not buy a Googl

Whatever you do, don’t buy a Google Pixel Watch right now

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I’ve spent nearly a year touting the Pixel Watch 3 as the best smartwatch for Wear OS shoppers, so if you’re thinking about picking one up, trust me when I say, I get it. Google’s smartwatches have made major strides in just a few short years, and with the third generation, the company delivered a more refined, more capable, and more comfortable wearable than either of its predecessors. For most people, it’s the best Wear OS watch available. It packs a powerfu
