Google Pixel Watch 4 pricing for the US leaks
Vlad, 31 July 2025 Google is unveiling the Pixel 10 family on August 20, and the Pixel Watch 4 will join the phones. Earlier this month, there was a rumor telling us how much the Pixel Watch 4 would cost in Europe, and today it's time to have the pricing conversation again, only this time for the US market. Over there, the watch is allegedly going to start at $349 in 41mm with Wi-Fi-only. The LTE-capable 41mm watch will be $399. If you want the 45mm Pixel Watch 4, it will be $399 with Wi-Fi-only and $449 with LTE. If you buy one, you'll receive six months of Fitbit Premium and one month of YouTube Premium for free. That's three times less YouTube Premium than you get if you buy a Pixel 10 device, and the watch also doesn't grant you any Google AI Pro plan freebie. The Pixel Watch 4 will use a new cradle that charges it from the side, abandoning the puck that its predecessor had. While this will leave the charging contacts exposed on the side of the watch, it's rumored to enable 25% faster charging than the Pixel Watch 3. The new device will allegedly be able to go from zero to 50% in 15 minutes, and zero to 80% in 30 minutes. Google Pixel Watch 3 32GB 2GB RAM € 279.89 Source

YouTube makes it easy for TV users to skip to the best bits of videos
It seems YouTube is finally giving its TV app the AI feature that lets you skip to the most interesting parts of a video. Android Authority's Mishaal Rahman reports that the Jump Ahead perk for YouTube Premium subscribers appeared on his Nvidia Shield TV yesterday, a feature that was previously exclusive to YouTube's web and mobile platforms. Jump Ahead gives users an easy way to automatically get to the best bits of a video by using AI to analyze the most-watched segments that viewers typically skip to. YouTube started testing the feature last year before later releasing it for Premium subscribers on web and mobile, but those who prefer watching on the big screen — which is now the primary viewing source in the US — have been left wanting until now. Premium subscribers can activate Jump Ahead by double-tapping the fast-forward button on the video player, which then takes viewers to the next point in the video that most users view. This works differently on TVs, according to YouTube's support page, requiring users to press the right arrow on their remote to see the next most-watched section, as indicated by a dot on the progress bar. Pressing the right arrow again will then take users to that point in the video, instead of skipping ahead by ten seconds as usual. Rahman says that a message reading 'Jumping over commonly skipped section' appeared when using the feature. While YouTube's support page confirms that Jump Ahead is now 'available on Living Room,' the scale and pace of the rollout are unclear. The feature doesn't appear to be widely available on TVs yet, and YouTube hasn't made a launch announcement. A Reddit user has reported seeing the feature appear on their Samsung TV, however, and Android Police also spotted it on a Google TV streamer. We have asked Google for clarity on the rollout.

YouTube's new AI age verification is coming soon — here's what's going to change
YouTube is going to start relying on AI to determine whether or not an account belongs to a teen or an adult, and take actions as a result. In a recent blog post, YouTube announced machine learning would "interpret a variety of signals that help us to determine whether a user is over or under 18". If the AI believes the account is being operated by a teen, it will automatically apply age-appropriate protections, including: YouTube says it plans to start testing this approach on a small subset of users in the US over the coming weeks as a trial. YouTube says it plans to start testing this approach on a small subset of users in the US over the coming weeks as a trial, before rolling it out to the rest of its users. The company notes it has been using this approach in other markets "for some time" and is now bringing it to the U.S. So, how does it work? According to the blog post, the various signals the AI will look for include things like the longevity of the account and the types of videos that account is most often searching for. Additionally, it will pick up and monitor the categories of videos the user is watching to reach a conclusion. With AI doing the heavy lifting there's always the possibility it gets something wrong and accidentally flags an adult user as a teen. At which point, the safeguards will click on like a key in the lock and that account holder will have to prove their age. YouTube says that in such cases a credit card or government ID will be needed to verify the user is over 18. Until that step has been completed, they won't be able to watch any age-restricted content. AI is infiltrating YouTube beyond just age verification. Last month, the site launched 'AI powered carousels' for YouTube Premium members which are intended to help surface information more quickly. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The feature kicks in when you're searching for something related to shopping, places, or things to do. Like an AI Overview on a Google search, it will highlight relevant clips from videos in a carousel you can flick through.

How we treat ourselves in The Subscription Age
We are in the age of subscriptions. Pretty much every single thing you enjoy, you can subscribe to. Everything from food to beer, beauty products to limited edition collectables, cloud storage to pet clothing… the list goes on and on. However, we're going to focus on the entertainment forms of subscription, and what we reckon are the best of the bunch for you to treat yourselves to, starting with… GAMES – Game Pass Ultimate In this case, when we say games, we don't mean whip out the Monopoly board, and we don't mean check out the selection of casino online UK sites. No, in this case, we specifically mean video games, and if you've got an Xbox or a PC (or both), then the Game Pass Ultimate is a must-have. For £14.99/€17.99 per month, you get access to hundreds of multi-generational games on console, PC, and cloud, as well as being able to play brand new games on their very first day of release at no additional cost. Game Pass Ultimate also allows you to play multiplayer online for consume, includes a membership for EA Play, as well as additional member deals, discounts, perks, and in-game benefits for free-to-play games. STREAMING – YouTube Premium Yes, we know you've got so many amazing streaming platforms to choose from. Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, Prime Video, Paramount+… the list goes on and on. And on. But might we make a completely leftfield choice here and say that forking out for YouTube Premium is one of the best decisions you can make for your daily entertainment consumption? Starting at £12.99/€13.99 per month for an Individual Plan (alternatives include a Family Plan or a Student Plan, depending on your needs), it means you've got access to all of the videos on YouTube, but without any of the ads. You'll also be able to continue listening to YouTube even if you lock your phone, or download and playback when you're out of internet range. Additionally, you'll also get access to YouTube Music, which is essentially its very own version of Spotify (more on that in a bit), so you're getting A LOT for this one subscription. CINEMA – Omniplex It really does feel we're in the middle of a fantastic cinema-going resurgence, following the big drop-off that the big screen had to endure in the aftermath of the pandemic. 2025 has already seen some incredible blockbusters that have people packing out screens again – Sinners, 28 Years Later, F1, Jurassic World Rebirth, A Minecraft Movie, Lilo & Stitch, Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, How To Train Your Dragon – and there are LOADS more still to come in the second half of this year alone. Omniplex's subscription MyOmniPass starts from just £11.99/€14.99 per month (depending on your location), which gets you a Super Saver seat for every single movie that gets released, as well as getting access to exclusive members-only previews before general release. MUSIC – Spotify Premium There are probably better/more affordable/etc. music streaming platforms out there (for example, the YouTube one we mentioned above), but in terms of ease-of-use, nothing seems to come close to YouTube. For £11.99/€11.99 per month (there are also Student, Duo, and Family Plans to look into), you'll get ad-free music, which you can download to listen to at any time, even when offline. Other obvious benefits include being able to listen to songs in any order, and organise you're listening queue (something not available on the Free Plan), and you're given access to the HQ audio versions of the tracks, as well as 15 hours per month of listening time from Spotify's audiobooks subscriber catalogue. However, speaking of books… BOOKS – Happily Ever After Book Box We don't know about you, but going in blind when trying to decide on what the next book you're going to invest your next few days with can be a daunting process. Outside of already enjoying the author's previous works or being given a specific recommendation from a third party, how do you pick your next book? We know we shouldn't judge the cover, but sometimes they do win us over… Thankfully, companies like the Happily Ever After Book Box do a lot of that heavy lifting for us. You simply tell them what your favourite genre is, and every month you'll get a new surprise book. Additionally, for £19.99 per month, along with the book, you'll also get a bookmark, a surprise beauty product, some vegan chocolate, a hot drink sachet, and a little note letting you know which animal charity your box has raised money for that month!
