Google 🗣️ 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. Several weeks ago, I published an open thread highlighting how underwhelming the Pixel 10 leaks had been up until then. With few aesthetic changes over the Pixel 9 expected, I wasn’t overly optimistic that Google intended to introduce meaningful changes to the 2025 lineup. Well, in recent weeks, I’ve warmed to that idea.
