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 […]
The leaks are continuing to flow in about Google’s upcoming mid-range phone, the Pixel 4a. We’ve previously reported that according to some leaked billboards, the new Pixel 4a would have the same starting price as last year’s 3a, which was an affordable $399. But now it seems the Pixel 4a will have a starting price […]
It looks like we might have to wait a little longer than we initially thought for the new mid-range smartphone from Google: the Pixel 4a. With the full cancellation of Google I/O 2020 – which was originally scheduled for May 12-14 – we were hopeful that the Pixel 4a would launch any day now. However, […]
It appears that Google’s Senior VP of Hardware, Rick Osterloh, is currently using the unreleased Pixel 4a. Yesterday on Twitter, Osterloh shared a screenshot and if you look closely, there are a couple of hints that this image was captured on Google’s upcoming mid-range phone, the Pixel 4a. The screenshot that Osterloh shared was of […]
The rumors and leaks of Google’s new mid-range smartphone – the Pixel 4a – are starting to mount up and a recent leak hints that it could be arriving any day now. A leaked image by TechDroider shows what could be the retail packaging of the Google Pixel 4a and it looks legitimate. The leak […]
The release of Google’s new mid-range smartphone – the Pixel 4a – is a little unclear at the moment with the cancellation of Google I/O: where the Pixel 3a was announced last year. But that has not stopped Evan Blass, a veteran tech leaker, from digging up some mock billboard ads that seem to confirm […]
If you’ve been around here for a little while, you likely remember my decision to buy a phone other than the Pixel 4 XL and then my subsequent return to Google’s latest flagship smartphone. There were multiple reasons for my decision to avoid it in the first place and then for the eventual purchase, but […]

There’s a reason I titled my last article about the Pixel 4 ‘Why I haven’t bought the Pixel 4 yet.’ I know myself. I know how I am with tech, and I know how quickly my mind can be persuaded and changed. Knowing these things, I knew better than to be 100% definitive in my […]

As I type this opening sentence on the surprisingly-great Pixelbook Go, I’m subtly reminded of what makes a great piece of hardware. The sweet spot sits somewhere between a finely crafted physical thing that is pleasing to look at, hold or touch and the way that thing goes about getting you to the digital, software-driven […]
