Google Pixel Buds 2a leak suggests price hike could be on the cards
TL;DR A reliable website has revealed more Pixel Buds 2a renders and apparent European pricing.
The images give us a closer look at the earbuds and charging case.
The Pixel Buds 2a will apparently start at €149 in Europe, making it significantly more expensive than the original model.
Google is expected to launch the Pixel Buds 2a alongside the Pixel 10 phones on August 20. We've already seen specs and a few images showing off the earbuds, but a new leak has revealed more details.
WinFuture has posted a series of renders showing off the Pixel Buds 2a. The images show the earbuds in Gray and 'Iris' color options. Check out a few of the renders below.
The outlet's images give us a more detailed view of the earbuds, revealing a printed Google logo instead of the imprints seen on the Pro earbuds. We also get a good look at the charging case, which has a similar oval shape to the Pixel Buds Pro 2 case and features a gray or blue line around the lid.
As for pricing, the website notes that the Pixel Buds 2a will start at €149 (~$174) in Europe. By comparison, the original Pixel Buds A earbuds started at €99 (~$116) in the region. So the new earbuds could see a significant price hike in at least one market.
Otherwise, a previous leak suggests that the Pixel Buds 2a will offer active noise cancelation and seven hours of playback (or 20 hours with a case). Don't expect the case to offer wireless charging support, though.

Google Meet's new full-screen mode puts presentations front and center
TL;DR Google Meet now has a full-screen option for presentations and screen shares. The feature pushes participants into a sidebar so content takes center stage. It's rolling out now for Rapid Release and coming August 14 to Scheduled Release. If you've spent any time in a Google Meet call, you'll know that part of the screen is a slide deck and the rest is a gallery of participants reacting or pretending to pay attention. Google's latest tweak aims to make that first half a little easier to focus on. As laid out in a Google Workspaces update, the company has started rolling out a new full-screen option for presentations and screen shares. This option lets you maximize the shared content while pushing meeting participants into a slim sidebar. The result is that slides, documents, or demos will take up more of your screen, and everything else takes up less. According to the update, Rapid Release domains began seeing the feature on July 29, though the extended rollout means it could take more than two weeks to reach everyone. Scheduled Release domains will get it from August 14, with visibility expected within a few days. When it arrives, you can activate it by clicking the 'Enter full screen' button at the bottom of an active presentation. Google says it's available to all Workspace customers, Workspace Individual subscribers, and personal Google accounts. While it's not the flashiest Meet update you'll see, it could make your daily grind a touch smoother. Follow
