The original Google Pixel Tablet was launched in May last year, during Google I/O 2023. The device was announced alongside the Pixel 7a, Google’s budget smartphone. The Google Pixel Tablet 2 is expected to arrive this year, though we didn’t hear much about it at this point. That is a bit odd, as May is right around the corner. If Google is aiming to launch this tablet, chances are it will be in May. Its codenames surfaced a while back.
The original Pixel Tablet left a lot of room for improvement, even though it was a solid offering by the company. We do hope to see a number of improvements ma ..read more

After Google said the Pixel 8 would not get Gemini Nano due to “hardware limitations”, it left a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths. Google touts that the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are both getting seven years of updates – OS, feature drops and security updates. But less than six months into the life cycle, the Pixel 8 loses out on a bit AI upgrade that the Pixel 8 Pro gets with virtually the same hardware?
Well, Google heard all of that backlash, and today, it is announcing that Gemini Nano will be available as a developer preview on Pixel 8 in the next Feature Drop. Google also says that G ..read more

Google has discontinued its two-year-old budget Pixel phone, the Pixel 6a. Truth be said, it doesn’t come as surprising given its release in mid-2022 but it doesn’t change the fact that it was one of the best-selling Pixel phones of all time, and its price made a lot of difference. The Pixel 8a is right around the corner, though, so… that’s something to look forward to.

The Pixel 8a is anything but official yet that isn’t stopping small details about the device from trickling out, like the higher refresh rate and other display improvements coming to Google’s more affordable Pixel phone.
The Pixel ‘A’ series of devices has always been about shaving off some of the price tag by either lessening some of the specs or removing some features. Or both. Google isn’t necessarily straying from that approach entirely with the upcoming Pixel 8a. However, it does seem to be including improvements that will make the phone even more of a bargain.
