Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Google's new Pixel 9 lineup is finally shaping up to be a true contender that can compete against the likes of the iPhone and the Galaxy S lineup, as the company has upgraded the device in almost all aspects. For the first time in Pixel history, Google's handsets are rocking the same optical ultrasonic sensor as the high-end Galaxy S24 series, a significant improvement over its predecessor with an optical sensor. However, you can make the ultrasonic sensor even faster on your Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro through a very easy technique, and it does not require any third-party […]
Google bumped up the battery capacities on the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL, along with adding a more efficient Tensor G4 to help both flagships last longer. However, in the latest battery drain test, what surprised us the most was seeing that both of the smartphones had the lowest recorded temperatures against competitors like the OnePlus 12, Galaxy S24 Ultra, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, despite not impressing in the runtime category. Galaxy S24 Ultra had the highest recorded temperature from the battery drain test, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max once again, lasting the longest A […]
Google left out most of the hardware specifications belonging to each Pixel 9 model during the official announcement, and for good reason, because we can imagine that customers wanting to pre-order one of these would be absolutely livid if they found out that the newest flagships ship with UFS 3.1 storage instead of UFS 4.0. UFS 3.1 is typically used in ‘price to performance’ smartphones to lower their cost, while the high-end Android smartphones are equipped with faster standards, so it definitely comes as a surprise that Google would take this route. However, as much as we prefer seeing cutting-edge […]
Google treated every one of its Pixel 9 models fairly by treating each of them to the new and improved Tensor G4 this year. Unfortunately, just like previous chipset launches, benchmark leaks have revealed that the SoC continues to lag behind the competition, but it appears that this was done intentionally by the company, as implied by an executive. She mentions in the latest interview that the Tensor G4 was not designed for ground-breaking performance but to tackle specific use cases, including improving the overall experience. More details have been uncovered in the latest interview, so let us proceed. One […]
An honest opinion by well-established technology YouTubers can give a boatload of advice to companies to help improve their products for next year’s release, but it appears that Mrwhosetheboss’ take of last year’s Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro rubbed Google the wrong way. As a result, the content creator did not receive a Pixel 9 invite, nor has he yet to receive any review unit from the advertising giant. Cementing yourself as an impartial source of information for millions of viewers can have drawbacks, it appears. In a post on X, the YouTuber says that he stands by his […]
The Pixel 9 was recently announced with a plethora of upgrades that will set it apart from its predecessors, considering the designs and the performance aspect. However, the company has also added a slew of nifty changes in the devices as well, improving the existing functionalities for enhanced quality and user experience. The company noted at the event that the new Pixel 9 comes with support for 8K video, something the iPhone does not have, but considering the latter's quality, could Google's rendition finally have the upper hand? Pixel 9 Pro can record 8K video with the help of its […]
Google’s Tensor range of chipsets is not the most energy-efficient, so it was a missed opportunity when the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro launched last year without an elaborate cooling solution. This resulted in both devices overheating significantly, which could be the reason why Google introduced a vapor chamber to its latest models as part of the various upgrades added this year. However, one interesting difference that we noticed was that the Pixel 9 does not feature this cooler, as stated by a company executive. $200 difference between the base Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro may have to […]
Google announced the Pixel 9 series with some major upgrades, and to be fair, the general design language is pretty similar to that of the iPhone lineup. However, the new design does make the Pixel look more premium and a proper flagship, something that Google struggled with in the past. Another aspect where Google was struggling the most was with the in-display optical sensor, which was slow and less reliable than the ultrasonic sensors on Samsung flagships. Pixel 9 lineup features the same ultrasonic fingerprint scanner as the Galaxy S24 devices Users have been wanting an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor on […]
Google has switched stances on how it treats older Pixel smartphone owners because earlier if you wanted to upgrade to a newer handset, the company was giving low-ball trade-in offers for its own devices compared to what it was asking for the ones made by Apple and Samsung. With the Pixel 9 launch, if you own a Pixel Fold, a Pixel 8, or a Pixel 8 Pro, the advertising giant is giving its loyal customers more importance by offering them higher trade-in values for their smartphones. Now, that is one way to retain your consumer base. If you own a […]
