Across tech press and forums, Google-related discussions are split between AI product updates (Discover getting an AI chatbot-tuned feed, Gemini adding a student hub) and practical device/app issues (Pixel Watch 5 factory images, Home voice Kelvin settings, and multiple Reddit/Plex/streaming box usability questions). There are also hardware/deals chatter, including a report of AMD helping design next-gen TPU and a deal-style mention of an Anker Google Find Hub Wallet Card.

Does it beat the Google Pixel Tag?

You can buy the Eufy SmartTrack Card E40 from Eufy's website for $35. This makes it slightly more than the $30 Pixel Tag, and slightly less than the $40 KeySmart Card. Depending on what you want to track, the Pixel Tag has a few benefits over the Eufy card. It has an IP67 dust and water resistance rating, and the CR2032 battery lasts about a year and is easy to replace at home. If you have a compatible phone, it can use Bluetooth Channel Sounding and Ultra Wideband connectivity for precise item location. However, the 5mm thickness means it isn't that suitable for use in a wallet, no matter wha

Google introduced some YouTube media controls for Android Auto in March, a welcome addition for fan

Will YouTube be worth using via Android Auto anytime soon?

An update scheduled to roll out this year will finally add native YouTube support for Android Auto, letting users watch HD YouTube videos on a car display while parked. While on the move, the app will seamlessly transition to audio playback. This can come in handy when you're waiting for your electric vehicle to charge up or if that "two more minutes" friend isn't being entirely truthful. Google's announcement video notes that listening to YouTube videos while driving is exclusive to YouTube Premium users. It doesn't specify if Premium Lite subscriptions benefit from the same. There's no date

Is the Pixel 11 Pro a worthy opponent to the iPhone 17 Pro Max?

About upgrading: 9to5Google often gives specific product recommendations. Sometimes, we may suggest not upgrading, due to various reasons including, but not limited to: increased device cost, negligible performance gains, or environmental impact. Whether to upgrade is always your call, but our aim is to help you make as informed a decision as possible. Google is once again getting ahead of Apple in the release cycle, with the Pixel 11 Pro having precious time on store shelves before the iPhone 18 launches. It’ll be around a month before the next iPhone is available, but there isn’t much to wri
