    Welcome to episode 99 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Abner, Damien, and Will tackle the latest rumors surrounding Google's Pixel 11, which could arrive later this summer with new camera sensors, whatever Pixel Glow is, and a whole lot of downgrades. Then they turn to the long-awaited Fitbit Air and try to predict how the fitness tracker audience will react to a significantly cheaper Whoop competitor.

    Welcome to episode 98 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Abner, Damien, and Will dig into all sorts of recent exclusive reporting. From Google's upcoming app icon redesigns for Workspace — and, if Pixel is any indication, far beyond — to the upcoming Fitbit Air fitness band and its Google-ified partner app, there's plenty to talk about. Plus, we look at Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Glasses and wonder just whether they're the right pair for us.

    Welcome to episode 97 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Damien and Will are joined by Andrew Romero to talk through a couple of Pixel hardware leaks coming out of Android 17 Beta 4. First, they discuss the growing possibility of a Pixel Laptop, and wonder what Google needs to do to succeed in an ever-competitive space. Then they turn to "Pixel Glow," a mysterious new notification light system seemingly on the way for Pixel 11.

    Welcome to episode 96 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Damien, Abner, and Will talk through Google's new native Gemini app for Mac and wonder why now, and why we don't see more standalone applications from the company. They also dive into new reports surrounding Google's portion of the foldable market — and the risk Apple holds against it — before finishing up with YouTube's new workaround for disabling Shorts.

      Welcome to episode 93 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Damien, Abner, and Will discuss Google's new "advanced flow" for enabling sideloading on Android, set to launch on all Play-supported devices later this year. It's a change built with security and safety in mind, and your hosts are pretty impressed with how the company has designed this shift. Then they dig into the potential news that OnePlus could be preparing to exit the global market, leaving an enthusiast-shaped hole in its place.
