Google may re-enter the laptop game with a Pixel branded laptop

  Just this past week rumors began to swirl about Google possibly making another laptop. Details were very sparse especially regarding the OS the Pixel Laptop would run. I thought that was highly suspicious due to Google already having a desktop OS with ChromeOS. A day later more news dropped and the rumor is the Pixel Laptop is going to run Android. Yes, Android. Not Fuchsia or ChromeOS but Android.  Now, Android does not have a traditional desktop OS so I assume Google is creating a new desktop version for laptops in the future. Then if that was not enough news, Google is rumored to merge ChromeOS into Android which makes the previous rumor seem more credible. Google have not commented on any of this so we really don't know what's going on. My take on this I believe there is something brewing with the Google hardware team and a laptop is definitely something that's being worked on. Will it ever see the light of day? Who knows? Pixelbook Go was the last laptop made by Goog...

When leaks go wrong | Google announces the existence of the Google Pixel 5A 5G

  Long story short a prominent leaker leaked a story on Twitter. A website not known for leaks corroborates the story citing two independent sources but something is telling me that one of them was the original leaker. In the end, Google had to come in and clean up this mess by announcing the existence of an unreleased Pixel phone. The Pixel 5A 5G.  Here's what a Google spokesperson said via The Verge Pixel 5a 5G is not cancelled. It will be available later this year in the U.S. and Japan and announced in line with when last year’s a-series phone was introduced. Leaks are cool but they can go horribly wrong fast. It sucks that Google has to respond to stories like these from time to time and in this case I'm glad that they did. Link(s) The Verge

Pixel 5a renders have me excited for the Pixel 6

  As a watcher of Google and a fan of the Pixel lineup of phones, I must say that the leaked render of the Pixel 5a has me excited for the Pixel 6. With phones set to debut later this year, I tend to believe that the renders are accurate. It seems that Google finalizes their new phones in the 1st quarter of the year based on past leaks and rumors. So, what do we have? Not much we can tell from a picture beside the obvious. Design cues are definitely similar to the Pixel 4a and Pixel 5 from 2020. And I'm cool with that! Google typically introduces a new design with each iteration of Pixel phones but I like that we are getting some consistency. The design of a phone does not need to change every year, in my opinion. Other than a similar design the other apparent change we can see is the camera setup and this is why I’m excited for the Pixel 6. So, why am I excited about a dual-camera setup? To put it simply, we should see a triple-lens setup for the Pixel 6. If last year is any ...
