A class action lawsuit was filed against Google by owners of the original Google Pixel phone. They had claimed that the company had knowingly sold units with defective microphones. Google has now agreed to settle the lawsuit and will thus be providing up to $500 to owners of said defective units.

The call screening feature that Google unveiled at its Pixel 3 event a couple of months ago is finally trickling down for the first-gen Pixel and Pixel XL. The company had said that all Pixel handsets would get this feature and it did arrive for the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL last month. Owners of the original Google smartphones will now be able to take advantage of this feature […]

Google’s hardware department shifted gears in 2016 with the launch of the first Pixel and Pixel XL handsets. The company went to great lengths to emphasize that these handsets were “Made by Google.” The Pixel lineup replaced Google’s Nexus smartphone series and has quickly established itself in the premium segment of the market. The devices that started it all, the original Pixel and Pixel XL, are no longer available for […]

There are several reasons why phones overheat and explode during charging. It could be due to a hardware problem where there is an issue with the circuitry in your phone. It could also be a problem with the charger itself where sometimes unofficial chargers might be made with cheaper materials and might not be as safe as the real deal.

With quite a few Nexus 6P owners reporting that their phones are being stuck in bootloops or experiencing sudden shutdowns due to battery issues, it did not really come as a surprise that there were reports that Google was offering customers a replacement for the Nexus 6P with a Pixel XL, or at least in some cases.

In terms of specs and features, the Nexus 6P on paper is a pretty solid device, although unfortunately it was discovered later that the phone came with a rather serious set of problems, such as being stuck in a bootloop, as well as battery issues where it would die suddenly on owners.

Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL owners on Verizon should keep their eyes peeled for an update notification today. The country’s largest mobile carrier has started rolling out the latest and greatest iteration of Android to the handsets. Android 8.0 Oreo is now being rolled out by Verizon for the Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL.

Google will certainly like to get rid of the Pixel stock that it’s currently sitting on before the new Pixel handsets are unveiled. Google isn’t due to announce the new handsets for a couple of months. It’s offering a new promotion today to customers who want to purchase a Google Pixel XL from its online store. Customers who pick up a Pixel Xl from the Google Store will be eligible […]

If a new report is to be believed, Google has canceled plans for a new Pixel smartphone. The handset was reportedly codenamed “muskie” and was meant to be a successor to the Pixel XL. It may have been referred to as the Google Pixel XL 2 if the company had decided to release it. The report claims that Google is not going to do that.

Some Google Pixel and Pixel XL owners have been facing an issue for the past few months that causes their smartphone to randomly freeze without reason. Users can’t seem to figure out what’s causing the handset to freeze and then they have to perform a complete reboot in order to start using the device again. It’s a nuisance that they can surely do without. Google has finally fixed the Pixel […]

Mophie is a popular accessory maker that is perhaps best known for its battery cases called Juice Packs. Often, it quickly launches these battery cases after a new flagship smartphone is released. Just last week, the Mophie Juice Pack for Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ was launched. It has been eight months since Google launched the Pixel XL and Mophie has now launched a Juice Pack for it.

It was reported yesterday that Google had picked LG to manufacture the Pixel 3 smartphone. There has been no confirmation or even a hint about this as yet from either LG or Google but the rumor mill took it up nonetheless. Google has seen considerable success with the Pixel and Pixel XL so it goes without saying that it’s going to release a new handset. Now we know, though, that […]

It seems that the Google Pixel phones are facing quite a few annoying bugs. We’ve heard reports of random shutoffs, and how audio seems to be distorting at higher levels for some users (which appears to have been fixed in a recent patch), and now we are hearing reports of Bluetooth randomly disconnecting.

Google announced its Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones last year. These are the first “Made by Google” smartphones and they have effectively replaced the Nexus smartphones. It appears that the Pixel handsets have performed better than Google initially, though. According to a new report, the company is finding it hard to meet consumer demand for its smartphones.
