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

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google may be working on smartwatch support for Android’s Identity Check feature. A connected watch could serve as a second authentication factor outside trusted locations. The feature was spotted in the latest version of Google Play Services beta. Google recently introduced a feature called Identity Check on Android 15 and later devices, designed to add extra protection from phone theft when you’re outside of predefined trusted locations.

Google Neutralizes Its Rivals… For Now

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-01-03 14:00:37

For over two decades, “Google it” has been the default way to find answers online. Now that dominance is being tested by a new wave of AI tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and upstarts such as Perplexity, which deliver conversational answers instead of a list of links. These disruptors are being cast as a mortal threat to Google Search, long the undisputed king of the internet. But on Wednesday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai delivered a powerful counter-narrative, armed with staggering new data that sugge

Gemini is making it much easier to listen to the podcasts you make with Audio Overviews

In its latest update, the Gemini app is now picking up its own Audio Overview player. The next time you cross paths with an AI nay-sayer who just doesn’t get what’s so useful about these tools, pull out your phone and introduce them to Audio Overviews.

Forty years have passed since The Goonies delighted audiences and captured the adventurous imaginations of a generation. In that time, talk of a sequel has never ended, but as of earlier this year, it’s more real than it ever has been. Warner Bros. has, as of a few months back, hired someone to write a Goonies 2. And while many of the original cast members have been very vocal and excited about the idea, the group’s elder statesman, Josh Brolin, seems much less enthusiastic. Brolin, who went on
