The Pixel Watch 3 is the first Android device with this precise Bluetooth tracking feature

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-23 09:30:10

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR The Google Pixel Watch 3 is the first known Android device to support Bluetooth Channel Sounding, enabling precise, centimeter-level distance tracking. This feature is more accurate than traditional Bluetooth signal strength for finding items and serves as a widespread, low-cost alternative to UWB. While the watch supports Channel Sounding after its Wear OS 5.1 update, the feature is not yet in use, likely in preparation for a future Find Hub app relea

Joe Maring / Android Authority It’s been just about two weeks since Google launched Android 16, and for the most part, it’s an update that came and went without too much fanfare. I’ve been playing around with Android 16 on my Pixel 9a since the update was released, but it wasn’t until a few days ago that I finally enabled Advanced Protection — a new security feature tucked away in the Settings app. Advanced Protection enables a load of robust security features for your phone with the flick of

Google’s spotty Find Hub network could get better thanks to a small setup tweak

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-26 17:53:53

Bluetooth trackers have existed for quite a while, but Apple made them worthwhile when it enlisted every iPhone to support AirTags. The tracking was so reliable that Apple had to add anti-stalking features, and there are just as many Android phones out there. However, Google's version of mobile device tracking, known as Find Hub, has been comparatively spotty. Now, Google is about to offer users a choice that could fix Bluetooth tracking on Android.

Trump Mobile drops its 'made in the USA' claims

The Trump Organization announced a cellular brand earlier this summer, and its main selling point for Trump Mobile was that its T1 smartphone was "made in the USA." It seemed highly unlikely that those claims about the phone were possible. Now, the website for the device has removed all language indicating that it was manufactured in the US. Instead, there is broader language such as "designed with American values in mind" and "Premium Performance. Proudly American." The Verge also noticed that
