Why I am a Pixel guy

I’ve been an Android guy for 15 years. Fun fact: I have never owned an iPhone. I’ve been on Team Android since day one, and over that decade and a half, I’ve used phones from nearly every major brand you can think of — Samsung, LG, OnePlus, and more. But for the past few years, I’ve been all-in on one brand: Google Pixel. My current daily driver is the Google Pixel 9 Pro, and whenever I need to use another phone for work, I immediately find myself missing it. But what is it about this phone, an

Google’s second Android Canary release is already out for Pixel devices

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Google announced its Android Canary testing program earlier this month.

Representing Google’s very latest, still very muc

The Pixel Watch 4 might charge via a wireless charging stand

The Pixel Watch 4 could use an entirely different charging system when its officially announced in a few weeks, according to leaked renders from Android Headlines. Rather than charging through fiddly pogo pins like past Pixel Watches, the renders suggest Google might finally adopt a simpler form of wireless charging. The renders show the new Pixel Watch charging in a stand on its side, while displaying the current charge, the time and an upcoming alarm, not unlike an Apple Watch. The stand repo

Chime backer Lauren Kolodny bets on AI to revolutionize estate processing

Lauren Kolodny, a partner at Acrew Capital, has always championed technology’s power to democratize access to financial services for everyday people. When the fledgling neobank Chime struggled to convince investors in 2016 that it could build a large business serving the working class, Kolodny was the only VC out of 100 Chime pitched who agreed to back the company, stepping in with a $9 million Series A extension when it was nearly out of money. That bet paid off big time. Last month, Chime we

Please, Google, give me Pixel 10 colors for the Pixel 10 Pro

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, not Christmas — that’s still (thankfully) months away — but Pixel leaks season. Yes, it’s that special time of summer when we find out almost everything there is to know about Google’s upcoming crop of flagships, from camera sensors to chipsets to, most importantly, colors. This year, though, I have a particular bone to pick with the maker of Android. I think Google nailed the colors of the upcoming Pixel 10, embr

Pixel Watch 4 leak shows off a new way to charge

Google Skips Right to Leaking the Whole Pixel 10 Lineup

If you were looking forward to Google’s upcoming summer event and all of the surprises about Pixel hardware it may reveal, you may want to stop reading.

This Simple Bed Frame Took Me Less Than 5 Minutes to Put Together. Yes, I Timed It

CNET's key takeaways The Helix Madison bed frame, available in natural wood or white, is $929 for a queen before sales. It's straightforward to put together and requires no tools. That said, the frame is a little expensive and incompatible with headboards. My beautiful, four-poster bed frame broke a few months ago. Immediately afterward, as I was lying there, slowly sliding to the corner of my mattress that had plummeted to the ground (from a decent height, I might add), I cursed that antiq

'Sullivan's Crossing' Is Dominating My Netflix Feed. Why Have I Never Heard of It?

Each week, Netflix releases a list of the Top 10 films and TV shows dominating the platform, and for the week of July 14, we noticed that not one, but two seasons of a TV show called Sullivan's Crossing are sitting among the most-watched titles. The poster for the series features two actors I'm pretty well-acquainted with: Scott Patterson and Chad Michael Murray. They both co-starred in Gilmore Girls, although Murray's stint was just for a few episodes early in the series before he got his real

AI-Generated Content on Netflix Is Already Here

We found Google’s next Pixel-only calling feature and it’s borrowed from Apple (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google may be launching a new AI-powered “Call Message” feature that acts like an on-device voicemail with live transcriptions and summaries. The feature works offline without using data or Wi-Fi and is likely powered by Gemini Nano. Like many AI features Google debuts with new Pixel phones, Call Message could be a Pixel 10 exclusive launching next month. Google already packs its Pixel phones with a bunch of smart calling features like Call Screening

These secret Netflix codes saved me from canceling my subscription - here's why

Adam Breeden/ZDNET Netflix wasn't the first streaming platform, but it was the first to make video-on-demand mainstream. Fourteen years ago, as it phased out its mailing service, it took a massive bite out of the global market.

Frustrated with Google Home? Google thanks you for your patience

Computing’s Top 30: Tejas Chopra
