Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google is developing a new feature called “Gemini Space” for its Pixel phones, which is expected to debut on the upcoming Pixel 10 series. “Gemini Space” could be a rebrand of the At a Glance widget that will add new information like finance recaps and sports scores. This new feature could be Google’s version of Samsung’s “Now Brief,” providing a full-screen, contextual summary of your day from the lock screen. Google is locked in a race with rival OpenA

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR An Android Authority teardown has revealed that Gboard could get a variety of tweaks and additions. The keyboard app could soon let you add Emoji Kitchen combos to a favorites list. We also discovered a SmartEdit feature and evidence of tighter integration with the Pixel 10’s Magic Cue feature. Gboard recently gained the ability to create stickers without using Pixel Studio, but it looks like Google isn’t stopping there. In fact, the company is worki

Android 16 for Pixels brings too many bugs for a ‘stable’ update, but at least one is getting fixed

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-15 23:01:12

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 is causing a very annoying bug where Pixel phones take too long to wake up. Google is aware of the issue and is working on a fix, and temporary workarounds are also available. This is one of several bugs reported by users after the Android 16 update, but there are many more, including freezing lock screens and unresponsive gestures. Android 16 is the flavor of the season, and Pixel owners are already enjoying the latest Baklava update. Granted,

I changed 10 settings on my Pixel phone for an instant performance boost

zdnet.com Jason Howell 2025-09-16 22:00:00

Jason Howell/ZDNET The Google Pixel 9a might be the best-value phone of 2025, especially now that it brings flagship-level AI tools, a bright 120Hz display, and a massive battery into a more affordable price tier. But, just like any Pixel phone, the best features often aren't enabled by default. I've tested generations of Google Pixel phones, and to achieve the best user experience, you almost always have to do a bit of digging and research.

Indigo is a new camera app by the guys who made the Pixel and Google Camera apps

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-17 19:08:04

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR Adobe has launched the Indigo camera app on the Apple App Store. Two of the influential minds behind the Google and Pixel Camera apps are also working on Indigo. The team says they’re planning an Android version of the app, but there’s no word on a release window. The Pixel Camera app (formerly Google Camera) is perhaps the most influential smartphone camera app ever made. That was in large part due to the HDR+ processing and Super Res Zoom for improve

Act fast: Grab a renewed Pixel 8 Pro for as low as $335

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-17 17:15:09

Ryan Haines / Android Authority If you’re on the hunt for a new phone, it can be worth your time taking a look at some slightly older handsets. Of course, the latest models are going to have all of the bells and whistles, but usually, the generation from before isn’t too far behind. More importantly, you can save a lot of money without too much sacrifice if you know where to look. For example, the Pixel 8 Pro is still a terrific device in 2025, and you can get one right now for as low as $335.

The Pixel 10 could feature Google’s fastest fingerprint scanner yet

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-19 11:14:52

TL;DR According to a new report, the Pixel 10 series may feature a faster ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The upgrade builds on the tech introduced in last year’s Pixel 9 phones. Other rumored features include the Tensor G5 chip, better image stabilization, and the debut of Magic Cue. Amongst other upgrades, the Pixel 9 series was the first range of Google Pixel phones to feature an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. If a new rumor proves accurate, the Pixel 10 series will build on that foundation

Google teases Pixel 10 in latest ‘Best Phones Forever’ ad that pokes fun at iOS 26 [Video]

9to5mac.com Ben Schoon 2025-09-19 23:21:52

In its continued “Best Phones Forever” series, Google pokes a bit of fun at how many iOS 26 features are “inspired” by Pixel, while also teasing the Pixel 10. The “Best Phones Forever” series has been going for a while at this point, with Google using the series to point out how iPhone and Pixel co-exist, and occasionally throwing little jabs at the iPhone. Most recently, the “Responding to the Rumors” episode poked fun at a handful of iPhone features that Pixel had first. “Total coincidence.”

The Pixel 9 Pro fits, but there are a lot of changes that make it not ideal to swap cases between the two devices. We expect Google to announce the new Pixel 10 series in the coming weeks.

The best Android phones of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

zdnet.com Kerry Wan 2025-09-20 17:00:22

The best Android phones in 2025 feature different models from multiple brands. That's the beauty of the current phone market, which spans from the best foldable phones, like the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, that challenge the status quo, to cheap phones, like the CMF Phone 2 Pro and Google Pixel 9a, that cater to consumers on a budget. Just last month, Samsung kicked off the thin-phone craze with the Galaxy S25 Edge, and I expect other phone makers to follow suit in 2025.
