As I said yesterday about the press renders that leaked for the Pixel 7a, the leak culture we find ourselves embroiled in these days makes big reveals feel a lot smaller than they once did. Such is the case with the latest tease from the Made By Google Twitter account that finally – FINALLY – […]
Continue ReadingUpcoming Devices
One of the primary focuses here at Chrome Unboxed is future hardware. After all, our early days were all about new devices! What is coming feels just as important as what is here now, so we will continue looking for the latest and greatest developments in the Chrome OS ecosystem.
New Pixel 7a leak shows off full press renders, surprises absolutely no one
We’re only a week out from Google I/O 2023, folks, and that means the flood gates have fully opened up. Though leaks have run rampant already surrounding the Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, and the Pixel 7a, we’ve only seen press renders leak out for the Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet at this point. As the […]
Continue ReadingGoogle’s Pixel Fold leaks in totality, including a possible teaser from Google this week
If you have any lingering questions about the Google Pixel Fold at this point, those questions are now answered. Well, if noted leaker Jon Prosser over at Front Page Tech is to be believed (I’d say he absolutely is by this point). Interested in configurations? Camera sensors? Overall dimensions? Screen specs? It’s all out and […]
Continue ReadingWhat we can learn from the first legit Pixel Fold hands-on video leak
Let’s face it: we’re only a couple weeks from Google I/O 2023, so hardware is bound to start leaking even more than it has prior to now. With the Pixel Fold, what does that mean? Well, it means we are finally seeing the device in someone’s hands up close and personal in a video. It’s […]
Continue ReadingPixel Fold availability date, weight, and price confirmed by credible new source
As we rapidly approach Google I/O 2023, it’s not surprising that more details about some of the hardware we expect at the event are continuing to leak out. As a recap, we fully expect to see the Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet (and it’s optional smart speaker stand), and Pixel Fold all arrive on May 10th […]
Continue ReadingWalmart listing shows off the follow-up to their excellent, affordable Google TV streamer
Back when the Chromecast with Google TV first debuted, there was an almost-immediate competitor that rose up to challenge it. Walmart’s in-house Onn. Android TV Streaming Box (super-cool name, right?) took us by surprise and in my house, at least, it became a go-to solution for TVs not found in our living room. It wasn’t […]
Continue ReadingA new AMD Ryzen 6000 Chromebook has begun development
A few years ago, it is crazy to think that we only kept track of a handful of Chromebooks in development at any given time. These days, that is far from the case as multiple manufacturers across the board are constantly in preparation for their next Chromebook release. From the latest Intel and AMD chips […]
Continue ReadingUpcoming MediaTek Chromebook tablet ‘Geralt’ will support high-res screens
Though we are still not at the point where we can pin down how many actual devices will come from the baseboard ‘Geralt’, we continue finding clues about what this development board will be capable of as time rolls on. So far, we know ‘Geralt’ is a tablet-based device being tested with a couple different-sized, […]
Continue ReadingUpcoming MediaTek MT8188 Chromebook tablets will finally have removable storage
There’s no doubt about my excitement when it comes to ‘Geralt’ – the development board for the upcoming MediaTek MT8188-powered Chromebook tablets we hope to see later this year. With this processor on board, not only are we happy to see Chromebook tablets in development again; we’re actually very hopeful that we’ll finally get some […]
Continue ReadingHere comes the MediaTek Kompanio 520 Chromebook wave
Since we ran into the first Chromebooks powered by MediaTek’s latest Kompanio 520 at CES 2023, we’ve been keeping an eye out for more of them to begin showing up. The two device we saw out in Vegas – the ASUS Chromebook CM14 and CM14 Flip – were impressive in a few interesting ways, and […]
Continue ReadingUpcoming MediaTek MT8188-powered tablets to retain this fan-favorite port
For a few years, it seemed the days may be numbered for the humble, analog headphone/microphone jack. When Apple so courageously removed the venerable port from the iPhone, many manufacturers began following suit across a wide variety of devices. First it was phones and then it became a tablet epidemic. And then it wasn’t too […]
Continue ReadingNew leak suggests the Pixel Fold will be way cheaper than we thought
As always, right from the beginning, please take this sort of speculative rumor with a grain of salt. There’s nothing about this that is verified through Google and while I want it to be true with everything in me, there’s no reason outside of hope to believe that this is 100% accurate. However, if you […]
Continue ReadingChromebook tablet ‘Geralt’ is being tested with at least one pretty solid camera
As promised, more details are bubbling to the surface for ‘Geralt’ – the detachable ChromeOS tablet reference board that is breathing new life and excitement into the Chromebook tablet world once again. Though a period went by where we weren’t certain that we’d see any new tablets, ‘Geralt’ (and hopefully a handful of tablets that […]
Continue ReadingNew info says the Pixel Fold and Pixel 7a release dates will be in June
According to a recent bit of intel obtained from a retailer by a very reliable leaker – Roland Quandt (@rquandt) – WinFuture is reporting that we should expect to see Google release their first-ever folding phone as early as June 2023. While the Pixel Fold has leaked all over the place in the past few […]
Continue ReadingAMD is still in the mix as new Ryzen 6000 Chromebooks begin development
You’d be forgiven for forgetting that there are more AMD-powered Chromebooks on the way at some point in the future. Thus far, AMD Chromebooks haven’t really caught on and have continually been eclipsed by devices with silicon from Intel, MediaTek, and Qualcomm on the inside. It’s not that AMD Chromebooks have been bad; it’s just […]
