Google Pixel

According to a new report, Google Pixel has settled into a #4 slot in the US smartphone market ahead of the Pixel 10 launch, though growth has cooled off a bit.

New findings show that Google is working on a redesign for the “Now Playing” widget on Google Pixel devices, adding more functionality and information to the lockscreen.

Google appears to be working on a new and fairly major update to its “At a Glance” feature on Pixel which will deliver new cards for sports scores, birthday reminders, and potentially even more.

If you’ve updated to Android 16 and noticed that your Google Pixel device is slower to wake up or get past the lockscreen, you’re not alone.

The first monthly update to Android 16 is rolling out with the July security patch for the Pixel 6a, 7, 7 Pro, 7a, Tablet, Fold, 8, 8 Pro, 8a, 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, 9 Pro Fold, and 9a.

Nothing’s new Phone (3) is the company’s self-described first “true flagship,” a designation that, personally, I think is a mistake. But it also brings up the question, if the Nothing Phone (3) isn’t a “true flagship,” is Google’s Pixel?

We’re not expecting the July 2025 Pixel update to start rolling out until next week, but Verizon’s changelog provides an early preview.

We’re likely less than two months away from the Pixel 10 series getting its long-awaited announcement, which means it’s high time for yet another Google leak.

A patent dispute in Japan has led to Google no longer being able to sell select older Pixel devices, and the company behind it is gunning for newer generations too.

As a massive heatwave hits the US and temperatures keep cranking up across the Northern Hemisphere, I’ve been thinking about how much better Pixel phones have gotten in the heat, but I’m curious – how is yours holding up?

Google spent years selling the Pixel on the premise of its camera but nowadays, it just doesn’t stand out to the same degree. Earlier this week, I was looking back at some old Pixel photos and couldn’t help but miss the days when the Pixel camera really shone at its brightest.

Adobe this week announced “Project Indigo,” a new camera app that was built by the brains behind the Pixel camera, but it’s not on Android just yet.

It makes a lot of sense to consider a slightly older phone for your next purchase, as you can often find fantastic deals. Take the renewed Pixel 8 Pro from Amazon, for instance—it’s an absolute steal!

Getting a Google Pixel at the best price often means shopping around, but with great return and refund policies plus extended warranties, Amazon is a great place to get kitted out with a smartphone. With that in mind, here are some of the best early Summer deals on Google Pixel phones from the online retailer.

This week, Pixel VIPs became the latest (exclusive) app made for Google phones. It follows the big trio we got last year with Screenshots, Studio, and Weather, as well as Camera, Magnifier, Recorder, Thermometer, and Tips.

Following version 2.0 at Made by Google last year, the latest update to Pixel Magnifier introduces live text search.

Following yesterday’s announcement, Google is widely rolling out the new Pixel VIPs widget to the Pixel 6+ on Android 16 (and QPR1).

As announced with the June 2025 Feature Drop, Gboard is getting deeper integration with Pixel Studio that lets you generate custom AI stickers. This is beginning to roll out on the Pixel 9 and newer.

The Android 16 update introduces “Battery health,” though specific functionality depends on what Pixel phone you have.
