This year at I/O 2023, Google unveiled the all-new, revamped Google Home app. With a fresh design and some cool new features, the updated app brings a bit more convenience and customization to smart home controls. Maybe the best part of the update is the new Home Panel that was initially available on the Pixel […]

I moved from the Pixel Fold back to a regular smartphone, and I feel relieved
As I’ve noted in the past, smartphones are largely getting boring. They are utilities that we absolutely rely on and the stuff that was once mind-blowingly innovative has now become commonplace. Folding phones are a bit of a panacea to that stagnation, promising a new era of versatility, convenience and increased consumption abilities. However, after […]

The smartphone world – at least in the folding segment – is really heating up as we move into the second half of 2023. With Samsung formally announcing its next Unpacked event (where we’ll see the inevitable Galaxy Z Fold 5) and Google already delivering the Pixel Fold in recent weeks, OnePlus is now primed […]

Google’s Pixel Tablet offers a solid array of features and functionality, making it a versatile device for various use cases. However, for those seeking a tablet to use for educational or professional purposes, the absence of a stylus in the box might cause you to pause for a beat. No, the Pixel Tablet doesn’t come […]
Continue ReadingPixel 8 Pro specs revealed in comprehensive leak
As the year progresses, the anticipation around Google’s upcoming smartphones – the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro – is only heating up. These phones will be the successors to the well-received Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, but Google has obviously been less than forthcoming about what we can expect. That being said, the last […]
Continue ReadingThe Chrome Cast 232: Dropping the Pixel Fold, Lenovo Slim 3, and goofy Chromebook names
This week on The Chrome Cast, we begin the show by talking through our thoughts on the newly-released Lenovo IdeaPad Chromebook Slim 3 and as we wrap up that section, move directly into talking about the oft-goofy nature of Chromebook naming conventions. The hope is that whatever ‘Chromebook X’ or ‘Chromebook Plus’ becomes, it addresses […]
Continue ReadingI accidentally dropped my Pixel Fold from 5 feet onto asphalt off of a moving golf cart
Yeah, you read that right. This past Sunday I was out for a casual round of golf and as I have done a few times already with my Pixel Fold review unit, I had the phone secured in my magnetic clamp that I keep on attached to the golf cart. Sure, the clamp is built […]
Continue ReadingPixel Watch and Pixel Buds Pro reach their lowest-ever prices for Prime Day
OK, so I have to address the elephant in the room for this one. Yesterday, I pointed to the fact that – for Chromebooks, at least – Best Buy’s Black Friday in July sales are better than what we’re seeing over at Amazon. For Chromebooks, this means the difference in taking advantage of great deals […]
Continue ReadingPixel Fold early adopters: your July Pixel update is here and rolling out
Google is having quite the summer in terms of new hardware. With the Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, and the Pixel Fold all hitting within just a couple months, the Google Hardware team has been busy to say the least. Still, with all the new devices out there finally hitting users’ hands, Google has continued to […]

Continue Reading“Watch” your Inbox! Google is sending out $100 discounts on the Pixel Watch
Earlier this week, we shared a deal on the Pixel Watch that can save our friends in the UK a serious chunk of change on Google’s first WearOS device. That sale is still happening and buyers on the other side of the pond stand to score as much as 29% off the Pixel Watch when […]
Continue ReadingT-Mobile finally unveils two massive deals to get you the Pixel Fold for $799
Well, we’ve been waiting for this deal to drop and it has been absolutely worth the wait. As the reigning king of trade-in offers on new phones, T-Mobile has shown up a bit late to the Pixel Fold party, but they’ve come bearing great gifts. And while I was wondering if any carrier would be […]
Continue ReadingOur UK friends can grab a Pixel Watch and save up to £110
Eight months later, I stand by my sentiment that Google’s Pixel Watch is still one of the best WearOS devices you can buy. While we’re anxious to see some updates and upgrades from the rumored Pixel Watch 2, Google’s first iteration of the Pixel Watch is a thoughtfully and beautifully designed device that gives you […]

So, you decided to get your hands on Google’s new Pixel Tablet. Chances are good that you may still be learning your way around and hopefully, your experience up until this point has been a good one. That said, there’s always a possibility for hiccups. Whether you’re using an aging device or a brand new […]
