According to a new report, Google has settled on the node upon which it will build its Tensor G5 chipset for its Pixel 10 series flagships. Supposedly, Google will join AMD, Apple, NVIDIA and Intel, among others, in utilising TSMC's new 3 nm manufacturing process.

The Google Pixel 8 Pro is enjoying a limited-time sale on Amazon. All the variants of the phone are available with a $250 discount. That means you can get the 128 GB model of the Android phone for just $749. As for the highest-end option, the 512 GB one, it's down to $929.

Since the launch of the Google Pixel 8, numerous users have reported defective displays with annoying vertical lines, making them difficult to use. Before the warranty of the first Pixel 8 expires, Google is now launching an extended repair program for this problem.

A renowned leaker has added fuel to the fire that Google will release the Pixel Watch 3 in two sizes. Shortly after sharing render images of the regular Pixel Watch 3, the leaker has returned with another set showcasing the larger Pixel Watch 3 XL. Not only has the leaker revealed the smartwatch's name and look, but he has also provided a few additional details like its display size.

Google has a good track record of not being able to keep its unreleased phones secret for long. The Pixel 9 series isn’t an exception in this regard. Previously, we had detailed images of the upcoming phones, and now, the Tensor G4 benchmark results are out. As per the benchmarks, the new SoC won’t offer a big performance jump from its predecessor.

Google has brought new Google Home-related features to its current Pixel smartphones and Pixel Watch smartwatches. Available across other Android smartphones too, the features should make it easier to control smart home devices without having to dive into the Google Home app.

The first concrete indications of an chip overhaul after four Google Tensor generations have been discovered in an import/export database, but this will only come with the successor to the Pixel 9 in 2025. It is said to have nothing in common with Samsung's Exynos chipsets and will no longer be produced by Samsung, which has now been proven.

Those wanting to give their current smartphone the feel of a Pixel 9 can now download the colorful, official wallpapers, which a leaker has already made available for the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL, as well as the Pixel Fold 2, which will likely be launched as the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Google I/O is over, but Made By Google is still yet to come. Four Pixel 9 phones, including the Pixel Fold 2, are expected at the latter launch event later this year.

Hence, the Pixel 10 is likely to be exciting, especially in regard to the Tensor G5.

The Google Pixel 8a offers numerous AI camera features, but the camera hardware remains unchanged from the Pixel 7a. As an analysis by DxOMark shows, the software optimizations are not enough to keep up with the more expensive Pixel 8.

Scheduled to launch later today, Google's second beta of the next Android iteration is expected to sport quite a few noticeable changes. While the details are not available yet, users of Google smartphones starting with the Pixel 6, as well as Pixel Tablet and Fold owners should get this test version later this year.

Google is selling the phone for 30% less than its MSRP at all major retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and the search giant's own retail store.

Wireless charging via a smartphone's NFC chip could finally become a reality with Android 15. This would allow even inexpensive mid-range smartphones to be charged wirelessly, while wireless chargers could potentially become significantly smaller and cheaper.

According to a new report, Google could become the first OEM to offer devices with the Samsung Exynos Modem 5400. Allegedly, the Exynos 5400 modem will arrive in this year's Pixel 9 series, which is now rumoured to contain four models by way of the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and Pixel 9 Pro Fold, as well as a future 5G Pixel tablet codenamed 'clementine'.

The new tip may help confirm the number of SKUs it may have and its similarity to the rest of the Pixel 8 series.
