Android 16’s new Wallet shortcut is missing on some Pixels, and Google won’t say why

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-20 08:09:07

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 adds a shortcut to open Google Wallet with a power button double-press, but Google has limited this feature to the Pixel 8 and newer devices. Despite no apparent technical limitations, Google intentionally disabled the gesture on older phones like the Pixel 7 Pro, offering no clear reason for the decision. The feature was manually enabled on an unsupported Pixel 7 Pro and worked perfectly, suggesting the hardware is capable and the limitation is

7 things about the Pixel 10 series you didn’t hear at Made by Google

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-20 08:44:44

The Made by Google event was very, very different this year. Hosted by Jimmy Fallon, the launch was more like an hour-long segment of The Tonight Show — his regular hosting gig — than any tech launch we’ve seen before. This was by design. Google wanted the launch of the Pixel 10 series to be for everyone, not just tech nerds. In that respect, it was a resounding success, with the stream currently sitting at 6.6 million views, as of me writing this sentence. However successful it might have been

5 of the best Pixel 10 chargers you should buy instead of Google’s 67W brick

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-20 10:00:19

Google has a new charger for the Pixel 10 series, offering 67W of peak power spread across two USB-C ports. As an official product, this is the safe bet for guaranteed fast charging, but it’s also more power than you might need, and it’s not exactly the most affordable plug on the market either. Likewise, perhaps you’re after just a single-port plug or maybe want something that can power your laptop and tablet as well as your new Pixel?

The Pixel 10 camera feature I’m most excited for isn’t the one you think

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-20 11:00:12

There aren’t many things more exciting than a packed list of new Google Pixel camera features. It’s about as close as I get to the feeling of waking up on Christmas morning — just, you know, in late August. So, when Google unveiled everything from increased maximum zoom to Auto Best Take to a Camera Coach to help compose images, I felt it had pretty much checked off my list for Santa. But then, as I looked closer, I realized that one Pixel 10 camera feature would probably outweigh all the rest.

The Made By Google event was not only a showcase of Google’s latest Pixel hardware, but a launchpad for many new AI features. I’m typically skeptical of the current generation of AI, but as I checked out the new software across various demo sessions, I found myself more and more intrigued. It seems like Google, along with Apple and Samsung, has been working on making these AI-powered updates more helpful in a way that might actually make our lives easier or simply more fun.

Google Chose Durability Over Sleekness for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and That's OK

When Samsung debuted the Galaxy Z Fold 7 last month, the spotlight was on how thin and light that foldable phone is. On Wednesday, Google took a different approach when unveiling the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, focusing more on internal upgrades like a larger 5,015-mAh battery and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance -- a major step in the world of foldables -- while sticking roughly with the design of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Both Samsung's and Google's updates are designed to make foldable phones

In a market that is becoming increasingly more crowded (for the better, as getting more people on bikes is good for all of us), Seattle-based Rad Power Bikes has planted its flag as a brand that offers the fun and utility of an ebike at a lower cost than its competitors, thanks in large part to its direct-to-consumer model.

The feature will lower your headphones’ volume to safer limits to prevent any hearing loss. The feature is turned on by default and cannot be turned off in certain regions.
