The new earbuds will be available in Real Red, Carbon, Limoncello, and Fog colors, Prosser tweeted (Via 91Mobiles). Unfortunately, the tipster couldn’t offer additional information on the Pixel Buds Pro, so there’s still a whole lot that we don’t know. The ‘Pro’ moniker suggests that it will be a top-of-the-line audio accessory. This suggests that active noise cancellation or ANC could finally make its way to Google’s flagship earbuds. Surprisingly, this appears to be one of the first Pixel Buds Pro leaks....

Allowing you to minimize any video on YouTube and have it play in the background so you can turn off your screen. Essential for helping to preserve battery life. All of that said, there is one caveat that subscribers need to be aware of. Google Fi subscribers get YouTube Premium for free only on one plan You can probably guess where this is going. But you’ll need to be on Google Fi’s Unlimited Plus plan to get the free year of YouTube Premium....

Google Fiber is one of the company’s most ignored services, and many users don’t even know about its existence. There was no news of Fiber for a long time, and many people believed Google had killed it. However, Google Fiber is expanding to five new states to provide users with a high-speed broadband internet service. As per the company announcement, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nebraska, and Nevada will be added to the Google Fiber support list in the next several years....

Before we dig into this watch, the company also announced the new Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro phones. These are the latest flagship phones, and they offer improvements over the Pixel 6 phones. You can learn more about these phones here. Here are the specs for the New Pixel Watch Some people be disappointed in the company’s choice of SoC for the Pixel Watch. It uses the Exynos 9110, which launched back in 2018....

Like many other big developers, Netflix was also looking to introduce an alternative payments system to avoid paying Google a 30 percent commission on subscription revenue. To squash Netflix’s desire, the Mountain View company offered to take a “significantly reduced” commission on the streaming giant’s Play Store revenues, MLex senior correspondent Michael Acton has pointed out. Companies like Spotify and Tinder have also looked to bypass the Play Store’s billing system....

Google One primarily offers expanded cloud storage but the company has been gradually adding new features to it. Today, you get add-ons like a VPN, direct access to Google experts, rebate on Google Store purchases, and many others with it, though some add-ons are exclusive to select subscription plans. Prices start at $1.99 per month and go up to $9.99 per month. Play Pass, on the other hand, is a subscription service that gives you access to paid Android apps and games for a monthly nominal fee of $4....

Of course, the bulk of the camera sensors found in the next-generation Pixel 7 series will be similar to the previous gadget. That’s not too surprising since Google has traditionally been slow to switch sensors. The company has chosen, instead, to focus on the software side of the equation for the most part. The change-up in question applies specifically to the telephoto snapper. The search giant will reportedly be switching from the Sony-built IMX576 sensor to the Samsung ICOSELL GM1 sensor....

The Google Pixel Watch has probably been delayed, unfortunately That does make all the sense in the world, and it is what we presumed as well. This information comes from Max Weinbach. He doesn’t seem to have any concrete information at the moment, but is taking an educated guess. He reported, 6 months ago, that the Pixel Watch is coming this year, likely alongside the Pixel 6 series. Well, now he believes that the watch is delayed due to the chip shortage....

Climate change and global warming are leaving devastating impacts on the environment. Now, Google has launched Dynamic World to raise awareness about environmental changes occurring on our planet. Google has partnered with World Resources Institute (WRI) to create Dynamic World. Moreover, its goal is to offer “global, near real-time land cover data at a ten-meter resolution.” Also, Dynamic World allows people to see how environmental disturbances like floods and fires are affecting the planet....

The apps that Google is updating to work better on tablets include YouTube Music, Google Maps, Messages, Google Play, Gmail, Google Home, and Google TV among others. By the time that the Pixel Tablet comes out next year, we’ll likely have most of Google apps updated for tablets. It’s a continuation of Android 12L Last year, after Google started rolling out Android 12 to everyone, it then announced Android 12L....

The single pack will be better for those with apartments or smaller homes, while the larger three pack is better for those with larger homes. And it’ll blanket your home in WiFi, so you won’t need to worry about deadspots any longer. The single Nest WiFi can cover up to 2200 square-feet, while the three pack can do up to 4400 square feet. Nest Wifi plugs into your modem and creates a network with a strong and reliable signal....

Specifically, the new page clarifies when the device will and won’t charge. The device won’t work at all in temperatures lower than -4 Fahrenheit but it also won’t charge at below 32-degrees Fahrenheit. For clarity, that’s 0-degrees Celsius and the freezing point for water. Google indicates that while the product will keep working at between those two temperatures, it won’t work well. In fact, the company says that at temperatures close to the lower limit, the battery may last less than half as long....

Accessing your phone is a really convenient thing, but you don’t want to be tethered to it. It can die, or you can be in an environment that’s just not phone-friendly. This is why having a physical document can really help you in certain situations. You’ll be able to print out Google Tasks Because having physical documentation can be a boon, Google is adding a new feature to Google Tasks....

Players will also get access to a brand-new minion type and two new keywords. With all of this new content, it’ll probably behoove anyone to take a long hard look at their decks and decide if changes are needed. As each new expansion has the potential to change the meta. And those changes could impact you for better or worse. Blizzard’s announcement today about the new Hearthstone expansion was initially teased earlier this month....

Samsung is keeping the butterfly theme for the Fold wallpaper that it introduced on the original model back in 2019. The company continued the trend with the Galaxy Z Fold 2, with minor tweaks to make it look more ornate. While the original Fold wallpaper looked like an actual butterfly, it was kind of a painting in the case of Fold 2. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 wallpaper now looks even more like a hand-painted butterfly silhouette....

But how exactly did Samsung do it? Well there are a few ways that this was accomplished. Let’s explore those ways. Foldable components are now cheaper This is probably the biggest reason why the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is now just $999. And that’s because the components that a foldable smartphone needs are cheaper. That includes things like the folding display. Since Samsung is one of the bigger suppliers of folding displays, and every company out there is making a foldable phone (even Google and Apple), Samsung is able to push out more displays....

The S Pen Pro features a 0.7mm tip, claims a tipster identified as Chun (@chunvn8888) on Twitter (via SamMobile). However, it is still safe to use on the Galaxy Z Fold 3’s screen, which is understandably quite prone to scratches. Samsung is offering a pressure sensitivity of 4,096, the same level since the big S Pen upgrade with the Galaxy Note 7 in 2016. The upcoming stylus will feature a USB Type-C port for charging....

You won’t be able to use your face to login to apps and authenticate yourself. You’ll still need to use your fingerprint. So it’s a good idea to set up both options. So why is this? Well, keeping it as simple as possible, Face Unlock is only using the camera. Which is not very secure. Apple’s Face ID actually uses a number of other sensors, which is why their notch is still so large on the iPhone....

It works with Alexa, but there’s no microphone or speaker inside While it does work with Alexa, you will need another compatible Alexa-enabled device. Like an Echo Dot, or the Alexa app. You’ll be able to use your voice to set the temperature, whether you’re home or not.

In the past, I reviewed two pairs of HONOR earbuds, the HONOR Choice and Magic Earbuds. Both of those were quite good taking into account what they offer, and their price tags. The Earbuds 2 Lite go down the same road, pretty much. Some things are not as great as you’d want them to be, but keep in mind that you’re not paying a premium for these, and you’ll realize the value....
