Here's where you can preorder Google's upcoming Pixel Watch 4
The redesigned Pixel Watch 4 sports a new domed 'Actua 360' display with slimmer bezels and noticeably more screen real estate. It's twice as bright as last year's Pixel Watch 3, too, with 3,000 nits of peak brightness. Google added a side-mounted charger, which, as my colleague Victoria Song noted in her hands-on impressions, turns your watch into a little display that showcases the battery percentage, your next alarm, and other info. And, in a very welcome improvement, both the display and the battery are now replaceable (and repairable).
Inside, the new wearable runs on the new Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 chip, which allows for more on-device AI features like smart replies. Gemini has also replaced Google Assistant, which you can activate by simply raising your wrist. Google has also added a new Satellite SOS mode, an industry-first that lets owners of LTE-enabled watches call for emergency services even without cellular service. And, of course, there are new health and fitness features, like retroactive AI activity recognition and the new AI Health Coach, which, in our brief time testing it, shows plenty of promise and seems genuinely helpful.
We're still testing putting Google's latest smartwatch through its paces — and we'll be sure to share our thoughts about these new features after spending more time with it — but here's where you can place a preorder if you want to be an early adopter.
The Pixel Watch 4 comes in two sizes: a 41mm model that starts at $349 and a 45mm version that starts at $399. Adding LTE connectivity costs an extra $100, which increases prices to $449 and $499, respectively. The 41mm model is available in a silver case with a new purple band, or you can buy it in a muted gold case with a matching band. The 45mm model, meanwhile, introduces a new silverish-blue case with a matching band. There's also a claspless Gradient Stretch Band made from polyester yarn, which can be paired with either the 41mm or 45mm model.
Right now, you can preorder the Wi-Fi-enabled version of the 41mm Pixel Watch 4 from Amazon, Google, and Best Buy starting at $349.99. The LTE model is also available for preorder at Amazon, the Google Store, and Best Buy, where you can grab it starting at $449.99. Alternatively, if you're looking to pick up the 45mm model, you can preorder it at Amazon, the Google Store, and Best Buy starting at $399.99, or with LTE from Google, Amazon, and Best Buy for $499.99.
The Pixel Watch 4 uses a new side-mounted charger and a domed display that's both repairable and replaceable, just like the battery. It also features a new Satellite SOS mode, leverages Google Gemini, and introduces an AI Health Coach.
The 45mm version of the Pixel Watch 4 is identical to its smaller 41mm sibling, but comes with a silverish-blue case and a matching band.

Google Loosens Play Store Grip in Europe
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) is loosening its grip on European app developers after regulators cracked down on its Play Store practices. Google said it's rolling out changes to its external offers program, giving developers more leeway to steer users toward their own platforms instead of being locked into Google's payment system. To qualify, developers still have to meet eligibility rules and sign up for the program. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. The shift comes after the European Commission ruled in March that Google was favoring its own services like Shopping, Hotels, and Flights in search results, while also blocking developers from directing customers elsewhere. Regulators accused the company of unfairly boosting its own ecosystem and overcharging rivals in the process. Google insists it's walking a fine line. Clare Kelly, senior competition counsel for Google in Europe, said the updates could carry risks for users, but stressed the company is trying to balance compliance with safety. Still, Brussels is watching closely, and Google's Play Store revenue model could look a lot different if these changes will want to see how the company adapts as EU oversight intensifies heading into 2025.

Google's Gemini Live AI assistant will show you what it's talking about
Google is bringing a bundle of new features to Gemini Live, its AI assistant that you can have real-time conversations with. Next week, Gemini Live will be able to highlight things directly on your screen while sharing your camera, making it easier for the AI assistant to point out a specific item. If you're trying to find the right tool for a project, for example, you can point your smartphone's camera at a collection of tools, and Gemini Live will highlight the correct one on your screen. This feature will be available on the newly announced Pixel 10 devices when they launch on August 28th. Google will begin rolling out visual guidance to other Android devices at the same time before expanding to iOS 'in the coming weeks.' Google is also launching new integrations that will soon allow Gemini Live to interact with more apps, including Messages, Phone, and Clock. Say you're in the middle of a conversation with Gemini about directions to your destination, but you realize you're running late. Google says you'll be able to interrupt the chatbot with something like: 'This route looks good. Now, send a message to Alex that I'm running about 10 minutes late.' From there, Google can draft a text to your friend for you. Lastly, Google is launching an updated audio model for Gemini Live that the company says will 'dramatically improve' how the chatbot 'uses the key elements of human speech, like intonation, rhythm and pitch.' Soon, Gemini will change its tone based on what you're speaking about, such as using a calmer voice if you're asking about a stressful topic. You'll also be able to change how fast — or slow — Gemini talks, which sounds a bit similar to how users can now tweak the style of ChatGPT's voice mode. And, if you ask Gemini for a dramatic retelling of a story from the perspective of a particular character or historical figure, the chatbot may adopt an accent for a 'rich, engaging narrative.'

There's a gauntlet of durability challenges and an endearing concept called 'Empathy Models,' which helps give designers a sense of what it's like for people with different sized hands to use the devices.
