Faster, more secure and AI | Google FI introduces a host of new features and upgrades

It's not every day a cellphone provider makes this many announcements but I am here for it. If you haven't heard already, Google Fi announced new features and upgrades that are coming to Google's wireless service soon.

First we have Wifi Auto Connect

Wifi Auto Connect is a feature that switches Pixel users seamlessly to Wifi in crowded places such as airports, malls and stores. I can easily see this feature being clutch when one may want to do something on their device that's data heavy in congested places.

Next up we have AI Enhanced Audio

With AI Enhanced Audio you get calls free of wind, construction and traffic. This feature also works on landlines. Google uses AI to automatically filter out distracting background noise and clarify voices on both ends of the line for more natural-sounding conversations.

Then there's Web Calls and Messages

With web calls and messages, you’re able to call, text and check voicemails from any computer or tablet’s web browser even when your phone isn’t near you, without complicated setup and at no extra cost.

Last but not least there's AI Billing Summaries

AI-powered summaries explain charges and any changes from the previous month and how recent plan adjustments will affect future costs. My bill doesn't change that much month to month but this feature should be able to explain those changes to me without calling a call center.

Check out the article (and video from me) for more details and let me know what you think of these new features and upgrades in the comments.

Waiting on Google: Why My Next Laptop Won't Be a Mac or PC (The "Googlebook" Era)

The release of the newly announced Googlebook cannot come fast enough for me. I am in the market for a new laptop and have my sights set on a Googlebook with the hope Google is making one. So far there are about five laptop manufacturers that are slated to be producing and releasing one this calendar year. Although, details are sparse surrounding the Googlebook I've seen just enough to know that I want this device to be a part of my tech ecosystem. My current tech ecosystem Admittedly, I've been holding out for a minute to get a new laptop. Fortunately, my current device is still meeting my needs but barely. Right now, I am rocking a Pixelbook Go from 2019 and using a Pixel 10 Pro with a Pixel Tablet. I'm fine with this setup but my needs for more capable and powerful computing is getting harder to ignore. My Pixelbook Go does not seem as connected to my other devices as I would like which would explain why I don't use it as much. ChromeOS has not progressed much over ...

The Ultimate Budget Companion: Running Android 16 on the 2026 Walmart Onn 8.1

If only Google would make a tablet like the Onn 8.1 I would be an extremely happy camper. But we are here and Google hasn't so we have this budget tablet from Walmart. While I won't give it away this early, however, the Onn 8.1 tablet is an interesting option in the budget space. What I like about the Onn 8.1 tablet The stand out feature of the tablet for me is the size and the aspect ratio of the display. I must admit that the size is ideal for travel, reading and consuming media. The aspect ratio is not wide and I prefer that as apps tend to look better while filling the space on the screen really well. The software is what I would consider stock Android and it's my favorite of what's available. I also like how light weight the tablet is making it easy to hold in just about any orientation. Battery life is relatively good especially when in standby mode. The body of the tablet seems to be durable. I'm rocking this thing case-less and there are no scratches on the...
