Incremental upgrades The Google Pixel 10 Pro should arrive in August, and we’re expecting it to get a larger battery, new processor, more eye-friendly display (hopefully), and some exclusive AI features. It probably won’t be a massive upgrade over the 9 Pro, making it hard to justify upgrading but the new processor alone should unlock some cool new capabilities. Pros …

This would be an important upgrade, even if it’s not flashy. That glass dome on Google’s watches is just begging to get cracked or scratched—it’s standard Gorilla Glass rather than the sapphire glass you see on Apple and Samsung watches.

Google’s Pixel Watch has a unique and striking design, but the design has also left customers wearing a watch that, once broken, cannot be repaired. The sole remedy …

Buckle up! Google is throwing a party next month. Samsung announced its new Galaxy Z Fold 7 (check out my review here), the Z Flip 7, and the Galaxy Watch 8 and 8 Classic last week, and Google is going next before Apple will likely do its annual iPhone and Apple Watch event in September. Google has just announced an …

There may have been some disappointment from a report yesterday that suggested Google was running it back for a third time with the Snapdragon W5 chip, but a newer report today suggests other improvements that may make up for it. We’re talking brighter displays, a new co-processor, and a suite of new sensors to track your health and more. Pixel …

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel Watch 4 is said to feature a Snapdragon W5 Plus Gen 1 chip. Both models are expected to have a new co-processor called the M55.
