A revised heading being tested will bring new branding to the Google Messages app
The word "Google" uses the same four colors as the Google "G" logo: Blue, Red, Yellow, and Green. Android Authority was able to create the new look, including showing everyone what this new branding will look like on Galaxy phones running Samsung's One UI. Google has already made the same change on several other of its apps including Google Photos, Google Calendar, and Drive.

Google Messages is an important app for Android users since it supports Rich Communication Services (RCS). Android users employing Google Messages as their messaging app can run RCS on chats with other Google Messages users and even enjoy end-to-end encryption which is something that is not yet offered when a Google Messages user is in an RCS chat with an iPhone user. Some Android users, for some strange reason, prefer to load messaging apps that have the name of their wireless provider. If it didn't come pre-installed on your Android phone, you can install Google Messages by tapping on this link and following the directions to download it on your phone.
It isn't clear when this new branding look will be pushed out through stable channels. All we can say at the moment is that Google has been looking to feature uniform branding on its apps. With the new look, even the greenest smartphone user could tell that the messages app he's using is Google Messages.

New Pixel 10 leak demonstrates that Google is in love with gray
Image credit — Evan Blass You might have heard that before, but the Pixel 10 series has leaked again. This time, we have a set of what look like final marketing renders of the Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds Pro 2. The images, leaked by famed leaker Evan Blass, show most of the Pixel 10 devices in Google's new favorite shade. That would be the Moonstone color, which looks like a light tone of gray and may be Pixel 10 's featured color. Technically, the gray color of the Pixel Buds Pro 2 may be called 'Sterling,' but they still line up very well next to the rest of Google's products. The only non-gray piece in the newly leaked images is a slimmer band of the Pixel Watch 4 , which also appears with another Moonstone from this set of renders are the vanilla Pixel 10 and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. While the former may be offered in a much brighter palette, we've already seen the Moonstone version of the foldable in previous leaks. Considering Evan Blass' reputation, those are likely real renders that Google might use after the August 20 premiere of the Pixel 10 series. They also make it even more obvious that this year's updates may be focused mainly on software and under-the-hood improvements. The Pixel 10 series is expected to use Tensor G5 chipsets, which would be a pivotal moment for Google. That's rumored to be the first fully in-house designed chip by the company, produced on TSMC's advanced 3nm process. With it, Google joins Apple and Samsung in designing its own silicon, which could lead to an improvement in the Pixel's performance. However, we need to wait for the devices to be released to see if they can challenge the upcoming iPhone 17 series and the Galaxy S25. In terms of colors, Google isn't breaking any new ground. The Moonstone of most Pixels is dull, but that's true for the colors of Apple and Samsung's premium flagships as well. What I'd like to see are Pro devices in at least a little more exciting colors. Until then, I'll need to stick to my mustard yellow case.

Samsung Galaxy A07 official image and specs revealed by Google Play Console listing
Samsung is currently working on the Galaxy A07, obvious successor to the A06 which launched back in August of last year. If the yearly release schedule holds, then this should arrive sometime next month. In the meantime, it's been spotted in the Google Play Console, which means we have the image of it below to gawk at. The phone has a screen with 720x1600 resolution, 6GB of RAM, and the MediaTek Helio G99 SoC at the helm. It will rather disappointingly run Android 15 when it launches. As you can see, it has a waterdrop notch and the new Samsung camera island design for everything except its flagship S series - it's now an actual oval-shaped island onto which the cameras are set, no more separate circles. The Google Play Console listing also tells us the upcoming Galaxy M07 will most likely just be a rebranded version of the A07, the latter having the model number SM-A075 (while the M07 is SM-M075). No other specs have been outed yet, but we do expect to hear more about these phones soon, so stay tuned. Samsung Galaxy A06 Via
