First spotted by 9to5Google, the FCC listing vaguely refers to this Google product as a “Wireless Device”. It is Wi-Fi 5-certified with support for the 5GHz bands. The device boasts Bluetooth connectivity but lacks other common connectivity options such as NFC and UWB (ultra-wideband). For power, it features a 3.65V battery, which may be rechargeable via a USB Type-C port. That’s pretty much all the key information the publication could find in the FCC documents....
According to the Canadian carrier Fido, it appears that the update for the Pixel 6 series will roll out on January 17. As it has updated its “OS Upgrade Schedule” to reflect that.

First spotted by 9to5Google, this minor change in Google Photos started rolling out last week. Version 6.1 of the iOS app introduced the Hidden folder. The Android counterpart doesn’t yet have it, even with version 6.2. But if it’s a permanent change, this renaming should go live on other platforms soon, including the Android app and the web client of Photos. According to the new report, Photos greets users with a banner saying “Archive is now called Hidden” once the change is rolled out....
The Google Pixel 6 & 6 Pro confirm display differences between devices You can clearly see that the Pixel 6 will feature a flat display, while the ‘Pro’ model will include a curved one. The thing is, the bezels on the Pixel 6 seem considerably thicker than the ones on the Pixel 6 Pro. The fact the Pixel 6 Pro’s display is curved probably has something to do with that, at least when it comes to side bezels....
The Google Pixel 6 Pro will feature an LTPO display aka adaptive refresh rate That’s not all, though, as Ross Young shared some additional info in the comments.

Google Play’s billing system is getting paused in Russia What does this mean? Well, it means that users in Russia won’t be able to purchase apps and games. They also won’t be able to make subscription payments or conduct in-app purchases of digital goods using Google Play in Russia. Do note that users will still be able to download free apps and games from the Google Play Store. So, only payments won’t be available, as it seems like the system got disrupted....
The product in question bears the model number G6ZUC. The identifier is akin to other Nest products, though not limited to routers. Nest speakers and Thermostats also carry similar model numbers. But 9to5Google confirms that the upcoming product is a successor to the Nest Wifi router. The FCC documents reveal that the new model will bring one major upgrade to the table. It will offer Wi-Fi 6E connectivity. The previous Nest Wifi was disappointing limited to the older Wi-Fi 5 standard....
Nuvia was founded in early 2019 by some former Google and Apple employees. These employees formerly worked on building Apple’s A-series chips and Google mobile hardware. Qualcomm also acquired Nuvia in 2021. While Google is currently doing great with its Tensor chips in Pixel devices, acquiring Nuvia could’ve helped the search giant to add fuel to the fire of competition with Apple, Qualcomm, and ARM. With Nuvia’s expertise in custom ARM silicon, Google could’ve gained a massive advantage over competitors....
The tipster claims that he got that information from his sources at Google. He did say that Google may offer a preview of its foldable smartphone at the Pixel 6 event, but that the device won’t launch there.

This rule will come into effect starting November 1, when Android 13 is likely to be commercially available. So app developers will have to ensure their apps are compatible with Android 11 or newer by then (via Android Central). Any apps lagging behind the deadline will disappear from the public eye until the developer makes the necessary changes. Google is effectively forcing developers into compliance by hiding apps that haven’t been updated for a while....
The Pixel Watch has been rumored for quite a long time at this point. But Google has never been ready to unleash it.

First spotted by the folks over at 9to5Google, the new Material You redesign could be exclusive to the Pixel 6. We got a fair bit of information on the redesign of the Translate app a few weeks ago, so we knew this always was on the cards. The changes appear on version 6.25.0.02.404801591 of the Translate app, which is now widely rolling out through the Play Store. Users will first notice the most obvious change in terms of color schemes, which now blends with your phone’s wallpaper....
Google Translate now has Material You on older Pixels. Google’s design aesthetic has seen some upgrades since the Google Translate app was introduced. However, Google Translate’s design pretty much stayed the same over the past couple of years. It still kept the blue and white theme while other apps saw updates. Now, with Android 12 and Material You, Google Translate finally made the jump to a new design. People using Pixel 6 phones have enjoyed this design for a bit, but those on older Pixel phones have been left in the dust....

Which is actually somewhat surprising, since Google famously gave up on tablets a couple of years ago. However, thanks to the pandemic, many of us are now using tablets again, and more often, so Google is giving it another try. Google didn’t reveal much about this new tablet. But it does look a lot like an older Galaxy tablet from Samsung. With a white bezel, and the camera is in the right spot for Zoom and Google Meet meetings....
In the US, it’ll be limited to 125W for charging. And this comes down to the electricity in the US. Most US outlets are 110V or 120V, whereas most of the rest of the world does 220V or 240V outlets. Which can handle the faster 150W charging. So keep things safe, OnePlus is limiting the 10T to only 125W in the US. How fast can my OnePlus 10T charge to 100%?...
In fact, the ability to change folder colors could arguably be one of the best Google Drive features. Especially since it isn’t a feature that’s necessarily found in even the best competing services. With color-coding for folders, users can easily set some folder types apart from others. For example, for organizations purposes. For instance, a user might change folders containing work documents and files to a red hue. Or they might change files associated with taxes, money management, receipts, and the like to a green hue....
