Amazon Canada has an offer that applies to all Pixel 9 models – you can get $200 off the Pixel Watch 3 and 50% off the Pixel Buds Pro 2, if you buy them alongside one of the new Google phones. We will start with the Google Pixel 9 Pro as this one has the best discount. It’s not automatic, you have to use the code listed below (but it’s also listed on the Amazon page, so it’s easy to copy and paste). The Pixel 9 Pro is on the small side as far as Android flagships go, but has a high-res LTPO display, a 50+48+48MP camera (including a 5x 113mm periscope), satellite SOS and will receive 7...
Google started sending out the update to Wear OS 5 for the original Pixel Watch and the Pixel Watch 2 back in September. However, shortly after the rollout started, a lot of people reported a very nasty issue with these older watches - following the update, the watch would be stuck on a blank screen. Google listened to all of the reports and halted the update's rollout on September 26, but it only confirmed this today in an announcement on its support pages for the Pixel Watch line. The company says it plans to resume the Wear OS 5 rollout for the Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2...
By far the biggest launch this week was the arrival of the Google Pixel 9 series. The search giant unveiled two new flagships, a new near-flagship phone and a new foldable, all of which are currently on pre-order. In Germany, the phones come with a free storage upgrade – usually, this means getting a 256GB model for the price of a 128GB one. However, for phones that have a higher tier, you can have the 512GB model for the price of a 256GB model (the new Fold starts at 256GB, so 512GB is the only option right now). Let’s look at the Google Pixel 9 first. Both Google and Amazon are...
Google has announced that it is bringing its entire catalog of new devices to India that the company announced at an event yesterday. This includes the Pixel 9, the Pixel 9 Pro and the Pixel 9 Pro XL, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the Pixel Watch 3, and the Pixel Buds Pro 2. This is somewhat unprecedented, as the company had previously only brought select devices to the Indian market. Among these devices, the Pixel 9 and specifically the Pixel 9 Pro XL are available for pre-order on Flipkart and retail partners starting today and will be on shelves starting August 22. The other devices...
Diving deep into Wear OS 5 Developer Preview reveals a couple of neat features coming to future smartwatches. Perhaps the first one to feature them is the upcoming Google Pixel Watch 3, scheduled for an August announcement. The two most notable features in question are UWB and Bluetooth LE Audio. The UWB connectivity has been suggested in reports in the past, which would likely allow secure phone unlocking and more accurate location tracking of the phone and the watch. As long as the phone supports UWB as well, of course. The Bluetooth LE Audio part is another feature that's not...

Google acquired Fitbit in early 2021 and launched its first smartwatch the following year and the sequel the year after that. Now both are available with a discount from Best Buy. The Google Pixel Watch 2 features a new(er) chipset that improves battery life – having to charge too often is always a pain point for smartwatches. It also adds skin temperature and skin conductance sensors. The watch is available with a $50 discount. This puts the Wi-Fi version at $300, while the version with LTE connectivity is $350. Google...
It has been almost exactly a year since Google unveiled the Pixel 7 series and the Pixel Watch – now their successors have arrived. They are available through Google’s online store, of course, but here is an offer from Best Buy (this is for US fans only). Both phones come bundled with a Pixel accessory and you can get up to $800 credit when trading in an old device. The Google Pixel 8 Pro is bundled with the new Pixel Watch 2, which is worth $350 on its own. The phone itself starts at $1,000 if you go for the 128GB model. Check out the deal on Best Buy. Google Pixel 8 Pro + Pixel...
As we said yesterday, Google just doesn't seem to be able to contain its excitement for its upcoming Pixel device releases. Whether by leaking them on its own website, or publishing very revealing teaser videos. There were two of those yesterday, of which one showed a few quick glimpses of the Pixel Watch 2, while the other basically portrayed the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro from all possible angles. So, if you watched that one and wished the Pixel Watch 2 would get the exact same treatment, you're in luck for that's exactly what Google's done this time. Following the "Sneak Peek at Pixel 8 &...
At the end of last month, Google responded to Apple's announcement of its September 12 launch event by revealing that the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro would get official on October 4. It's been a little over a week from that moment, and it already seems like Google can barely contain its excitement towards its upcoming event. Case in point: today it released two teaser videos. The first one is the more proper teaser of the two, showing very quick glimpses of products including the Pixel Watch 2 and Pixel 8 Pro. Have a look for yourself: This wasn't enough, however, so about an hour later...
