The Pixel 9 once again enjoying a tempting $200 discount at Amazon
$200 off (25%)
Amazon is once again giving you a big Pixel 9 discount that makes the smartphone way more attractive. Right now, you can get the device for $200 off in both 128GB and 256GB variants, making it way more affordable than usual. Get yours and save big while it lasts. Buy at Amazon Sure, we've come across bigger discounts in the past, including a massive $250 discount during last month's Prime Day. Nevertheless, this one is still worth checking out, as it brings a fantastic compact phone at a much more affordable price. In our Pixel 9 review, we've emphasized just how good the display looks. Its 6.3-inch OLED touchscreen offers impressive visuals, gets incredibly bright, and supports a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. What more could you need?
It's not just the screen that looks gorgeous, though. This handset has a premium design, and its stock Android interface is a joy to use. What about performance? The Google phone comes with a Tensor G4 chip under the hood. That makes it a bit faster than the Pixel 8, but it still lags behind models like the Galaxy S24. Even though it might not crush the benchmark tests, the Pixel 9 delivers a smooth daily performance. You won't notice any hiccups or lag that may hinder your experience, which is always a plus. The Tensor G4 SoC also unlocks all the lovely AI features that elevate your experience even further.
The Android phone is a winner on the camera front as well. It features two cameras on the back: a 50MP main and a 48MP ultra-wide, plus a 10.5MP selfie sensor. Expect photos with excellent detail, lifelike colors, and great dynamic range — more than good enough for its current asking price.
At the end of the day, the Pixel 9 might have been cheaper in the past, but it's well worth it at $200 off. Keep in mind that some colors might not stay at that discount for a short while, so you might want to jump on it before it vanishes.

This new Google Pixel 10 Pro XL leak leaves almost nothing to the imagination
Google's biggest phone this year is no longer a mystery. Just ahead of the Pixel 10 launch event on August 20, new leaked renders have revealed the Pixel 10 Pro XL in detail. The images shared show the phone in "Moonstone" and "Obsidian" color options. The Pixel 10 Pro XL looks very similar to the other Pixel 10 models. It has the same rounded corners, a metal frame, and a pill-shaped rear camera bar. The front features a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with slim bezels and a centered selfie camera. Like its predecessor, the phone includes a temperature sensor in the rear camera module. Inside, the Pixel 10 Pro XL is expected to run on Google's new Tensor G5 chip and have 16GB of RAM. Unlike the regular Pro model, which may still start at 128GB, the XL version will begin at 256GB. Buyers will also be able to choose between 512GB and 1TB options. The camera system seems unchanged from the Pixel 9 Pro : a 50MP main lens, a 48MP ultra-wide, and a 48MP telephoto camera. The front camera stays at 32MP. While the hardware is familiar, Google is likely to add new software features through its AI tools. One of the biggest changes is reportedly the battery: the Pixel 10 Pro XL is rumored to have a 5200mAh battery, which would be the largest ever in a Pixel phone. Additionally, it is rumored to support 39W wired charging and 15W wireless charging through Qi2. In Germany, the source of the leak, the price is expected to remain about the same starting at 1299 euros. We are expecting the Pixel 10 Pro XL to launch alongside the rest of the Pixel line, such as the Pixel 10 , Pixel 10 Pro , Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a at the upcoming Made by Google event — although not all devices may be available at launch in every region. With stiff competition from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max (not to mention Apple's upcoming line of iPhones), Google's strategy seems focused on fine-tuning rather than major changes. I believe that for the new Pixel 10 series to stand out, it may depend more on its software experience and long-term support than flashy hardware upgrades.

Pixel phones could get Galaxy-style navigation according to hidden code
The update to Android 9 Pie brought gesture navigation to Android. Swiping up from the bottom takes the user home. Swipe up from the bottom and hold to access recent apps. Swipe in from either the left or right edge of the screen to go back. Swipe left or right from the navigation bar (the small handle at the bottom of the display) to switch between apps. Pixel users can switch from the gesture navigation to the three-button navigation by going to Settings > Display & touch > Navigation mode > 3-button navigation . The latest release of Android Canary, the program that allows Pixel users to see new Android features in advance, contained code spotted by Android expert Mishaal Rahman. The code gives Pixel users the option to flip the order of the three navigation buttons on the phone. While the Pixel's three-button navigation goes, from left-to-right, Back, Home, Recents, the three-button navigation on Samsung phones has Recents first on the left, followed by Home, and Back. What the Pixel 3-button navigation UI will look like when flipped to match Samsung's version. | Image credit-Android Authority So if you're switching from a Samsung Galaxy handset to a Pixel, and you use the three-button navigation interface, your muscle memory might mix things up, and you'll go to Recents when you meant to go Back. If Google follows through with this code, Pixel users will have the option of having their three-button navigation interface appear just as it does on a Galaxy phone. We'd love to tell you when you can expect this feature to appear, but alas, we can't. Since it's only code in Android Canary for now, there is no way to determine when-or even if, Google plans to launch this feature. We're sure that those who have switched from a Galaxy device to a Pixel and had problems using the three-button navigation know exactly how this change could be very useful.

Instagram introduces Repost and location sharing
Today Instagram has announced some new features, including Repost, which is basically Twitter's Retweet. You can repost public reels and feed posts, and your reposts will be recommended to your friends and followers in their feeds. Reposts will also be found in a separate tab on your profile so you (or someone else) can always go back and revisit them. Reposts are credited to the original poster. So when your public reels and posts are reposted by someone else, they're recommended to that person's followers, even if those people don't follow you. Thus, you have "a new opportunity to reach more people whenever you create something worth sharing", Instagram says. You can add a note to any repost by typing into the 'thought bubble' that appears on screen once you've hit the repost icon. Next up, a feature that Instagram copied from Snapchat, not Twitter - the Instagram Map. This lets you opt into sharing your last active location with the friends you pick. You can turn it off at any time, and open the map to see content your friends and favorite creators are posting from "cool spots". Instagram bills this as "a new, lightweight way to connect". Location sharing is off by default, and you can choose who you share it with (friends, Close Friends, or only selected friends). You can also choose not to share your location in specific places or with specific people. If you use location sharing, your location is updated when you open the Instagram app or when you return to it if it's been running in the background. If you're a parent with supervision set up for a teen, you can control their location sharing experience - you'll get a notification if they start sharing their location, and decide whether they have access to location sharing on the map as well as see who they're sharing their location with. Regardless of whether you're sharing your location, you can see location-tagged content on the map, including reels, posts, and stories from people you follow, as well as notes from people you mutually follow. All of this is available for 24 hours. You can find the map at the top of your DM inbox. This is currently rolling out in the US, with "more global availability soon". Finally, there's a new Friends tab in Reels, showcasing public content your friends have interacted with or recommendations from Blends you've started. Instagram says this will "help you see which reels the people you care about most are creating and engaging with". Friends started rolling out earlier this year, and is now launching globally.
