Chrome Unboxed - The Latest Chrome OS News
A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Google has been tirelessly working on bringing their Phone Hub to Chromebook users for months now, with the latest update to Google Play Services Beta even unlocking the feature for many Android phone owners who also happen to be on the Beta (and above) channels of Chrome OS – yours truly included. One of the […]
It’s not like we didn’t already know this was coming, right? We’ve seen every basic detail on both of Google’s new phones for weeks and Google’s brief, tight presentation today didn’t bring a whole lot in the way of surprise. Don’t get me wrong, the event was very considerate of all our time and was […]
Last night, leaker John Prosser took to Twitter to let the world know that he is 100% confident that Google’s upcoming Pixel 5 phone will cost $699. If for some reason you know nothing of the Pixel 5 up to this point, that price probably sounds fair. It may even sound pretty great considering the […]
About this time of year for the past 3 years running, we’ve checked our email inboxes daily in anticipation of an invite from Google to the big, yearly hardware event from the search giant. When this invite came each year, there have been multiple reasons for excitement: new phones, new Google Home stuff, and new […]
I can remember it like it was yesterday. We were in New York City for Google’s annual hardware event and awaiting the arrival of all the leaked goodies that had been talked about for months up to that point. I was personally pumped for hands-on time with the new Pixelbook Go and very ready to […]
![We may see a Pixel 4a 5G or Pixel 5 announcement alongside the Pixel 4a today [UPDATE: confirmed]](https://chromeunboxed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/pixel4a5g.jpg){kind=tracking}
UPDATED 8.3.2020 @ 11:30am – Google went live at 11:00am EST to deliver a full blog post about the new Pixel 4a that will start shipping on August 20th. If I’m honest, a two-week availability window feels a tad bit unacceptable at this point with the phone already being delayed by months, but it is […]
We all know about the Google Pixel 4a by this point. It has been leaked extensively over the past few months and we all expected it to be launched some time in May. With all the craziness of the pandemic leaving Google’s yearly I/O developer conference completely cancelled, that date has just perpetually been pushed […]
Google Photos is one of the apps on my phone that I honestly use more often than I realize. It stores all my photos without clogging up my phone, let’s me easily edit those photos, and then seamlessly share them with friends and family. So a couple of weeks ago when Google said that a […]
We don’t generally cover phone hardware here but we usually make exceptions when it comes to the Pixel lineup. The mid-range #MadeByGoogle phone has experienced more leaks than my finest colander and at this point, it’s really unclear why Google doesn’t just release the darn thing. While there hasn’t been any “official” announcement from Google […]
At this point in 2020, one thing feels quite clear: Google’s phone strategy is a bit of a mess. I’m hoping October rolls around and Google announces their phones and all this makes sense, but I don’t feel that will be the case at this point. As it stands, Google looks likely to announce 3 […]
I really do love Pixel phones. I’ve enjoyed them since the beginning and I loved the Nexus line of phones prior to that. Well, for the most part, anyway. There’s just been something so comforting and reliable about handsets that aren’t overly concerned with new gimmicks and pseudo features and, instead, are focused on the […]
In a bit of a surprising turn, Google has officially canned the Pixel 3a, stating to Android Police that, “The Google Store has sold through its inventory and completed sales of Pixel 3a. For people who are still interested in buying Pixel 3a, the product is available from some partners while supplies last.” Yep. That’s […]
