Google Pixel 8a: DANAMIC review - ExBulletin
Let's talk about the value proposition of the Google Pixel 8a: the point of a mid-range version of an existing smartphone is that you get a flagship user experience, albeit with some sacrifices in other areas - all at a lower price, of course. Now, the Pixel 8a plays on that exact same premise, losing a few features from the Pixel 8 but ostensibly giving users a similar phone at a more affordable price. The question is, how much more value does it actually offer? Currently, the Pixel 8a is priced at S$300 cheaper than the Pixel 8. Is the savings worth buying the lower-end version? It's a tough question, but one I'll try to answer after testing the phone. Design and BuildPixel 8 (left) and Pixel 8a (right) The Google-designed Pixel 8s is unique, so it's no surprise that the Pixel 8a doesn't stray too far from it. The Pixel 8a keeps the soapbox-like form factor and has a silver camera bar on the back that contrasts with the color. But the Pixel 8a isn't all the same. Speaking of colors, the Pixel 8a offers different color variations than the original Pixel 8, including the bright Bay option. This is a nice and playful color that was previously only available on the Pixel 8 Pro, but now you can get it without having to get the top-of-the-line Pixel 8 series phone. Another difference with the Pixel 8a is that it uses a plastic back, which isn't surprising given the need to make it more affordable. But this isn't a bad thing: the plastic back has a matte finish instead of the glossy Pixel 8, so fingerprint smudges won't be an issue if you're a bare-phone user. Sure, it might feel a bit cheap, but I actually prefer this implementation. Build-wise, even though it's a budget device, Google has managed to make the phone feel pretty good to use. The aluminum frame is sturdy, the buttons are clicky, and it's light in the hand, but that doesn't make it any less durable. The phone retains its IP67 rating from its predecessor, making it completely dustproof and able to survive immersion in water. Overall, the Google Pixel 8a feels like a more premium device despite the change in materials, and while using it, I never felt like I was handling a budget smartphone. PerformanceElegant screen and elegant UI So, did using different materials have any noticeable negative impact on the build? And what about performance? Thankfully, users also get most of the great features of the Pixel 8. The display is just a tad smaller at 6.1 inches, but it still has the beautiful OLED panel found on the regular Pixel 8. The screen is 40% brighter than the Pixel 7a, which makes for a much better experience when viewing content on the display. The screen also gets another improvement: previously the Pixel 7a had a maximum refresh rate of 90Hz, but Google has bumped it up to 120Hz, bringing it on par with the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro. This is a fantastic update for a phone, making scrolling much smoother and more satisfying, plus it's great for gaming. I loved the Pixel 8a's display for watching videos and playing games. While we're on the subject, the Tensor G3 processor is what powers the Pixel 8a's gaming performance. It's Google's latest chip, found in the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, and the Pixel 8a gets all the benefits. In terms of general performance, everything just seems to run smoothly; there's no lag even when running multiple apps in the background, and everything opens quickly. It's a similar experience with games; the Tensor G3 is usually powerful enough to run games pretty well, but more demanding titles won't be able to take advantage of the 120Hz refresh rate. Of course, the Tensor G3 isn't notable for its benchmark performance, but for its noteworthy AI features. Sure, with more companies implementing AI in their phones, these features aren't as exciting as they once were, but that doesn't make it any less usable. Features like Live Transcription and Audio Magic Eraser are also here, but so is the new Circle to Search feature that was first introduced on the Samsung Galaxy S24 series. This is the most useful AI tool I've ever used, so I'm glad Google included it here too. My only complaint is that it doesn't seem to work unless you enable 3-button navigation. That said, it's still missing some key AI features that are already available. For example, you still can't get a summarized summary from your voice recordings. Future updates are teased to come via Google's Gemini Nano, and you can actually download the app from the Play Store right now. Still, it can't do anything significantly different than what Google Assistant can already do. Camera: Usual camera The Pixel 8a's rear cameras are the same as the Pixel 7a's: a 64MP main camera and a 13MP ultra-wide-angle camera. These are pretty impressive specs for a budget phone. Pixel phones have always been known for their photo quality, and the Pixel 8a is no exception. The Pixel's distinctive look is once again a highlight, with wide dynamic range and pleasing visual contrast. The only downside to the Pixel 8a is that photos zoomed in without a telephoto lens look particularly unnatural. This is more of a landscape camera. Enjoy the beautiful dynamic range that is characteristic of Google Pixel photos When it comes to low light environments, Night Sight also performs extremely well. I continue to be amazed by the brightness of the images it produces, plus it's fast at night. Night Sight is once again the master of low light Pixel photos are already great, but with the help of AI, Pixel 8a takes them to the next level. The Best Take and Magic Editor features let you get more out of your photos. Best Take is probably the most useful of the two, allowing you to choose from a variety of facial expressions and replace them with your favorite group photo. It works well 90% of the time. Sometimes the crop doesn't work, but that's not common. Magic Editor, on the other hand, is the Wild West. Simply put, it uses generative AI to alter your photos. You can remove objects or change the sky, the latter of which spits out some particularly crazy results. For example, when I was playing around and changing the look of the sky, it rendered hills in the background. Magic Editor results range from passable to downright weird This kind of AI functionality is still in its early stages and will no doubt improve over the next few years, but for now, unless you're making relatively simple changes to your photos, Magic Editor is a fun tool to use when you're bored. battery The Pixel 8a's battery capacity is slightly larger than the Pixel 7a's at 4,492 mAh. That doesn't seem like a huge upgrade, especially considering the relatively average battery life of its predecessor, but thankfully the power efficiency of the Tensor G3 helps improve performance. While the Pixel 8a doesn't offer the two-day battery life that flagship phones offer, it will comfortably last more than a day. In our case, we set the brightness to about 70% and used a mix of web browsing, photo capture, and video streaming. In addition to wired charging, the wireless charging feature from the Pixel 7a has also returned to the Pixel 8a, so you have plenty of options available when you need to charge your phone in an emergency. Verdict: Is it worth buying? Now, back to the value proposition: At S$300 cheaper than the regular Pixel 8, the Pixel 8a is definitely the better option if you want a Google smartphone experience on a budget. It comes with all the bells and whistles of the Google ecosystem and AI tools, and the change in materials doesn't take away much from your enjoyment of the smartphone. But here's the thing: if you're a frequent Shopee user like me, you know that Google's smartphones are often discounted. In fact, I'm checking with an authorized retailer right now and the price difference is just S$160. And that little bit extra gets you better materials, a bigger battery, a brighter screen and a higher IP68 rating. This makes the value proposition seem a bit iffy. I really like the Pixel 8a, and if you're on a budget it's an easy choice, but if you have a bit more to spare, the Pixel 8 might be worth considering. The Google Pixel 8a is available to buy on the Google online store, and you can also find it on Google's official store on Shopee. Pros: Feels like a premium smartphone, despite the price. Google's camera features are still excellent. Bright screen. Cons: Lacks some of the AI features already available. What Are The Main Benefits Of Comparing Car Insurance Quotes Online

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 vs Google Pixel Watch 2: Which should you buy? - ExBulletin
Samsung didn't try to reinvent the wheel with the Galaxy Watch 7, leaving that to its other two new wearables announced at Unpacked, but there are some exciting additions that make Samsung's new smartwatch a no-brainer choice. ProsAvailable in two sizesInexpensiveDoesn't rely on proprietary band mechanismsLonger battery lifeMore durableNo counter-rotating crownOnly two colors There's a lot to like about the Pixel Watch 2, but it's overshadowed by Samsung's latest offering. In addition to being more expensive, the Watch 2 only comes in one size and offers slightly less health-tracking capabilities. Pros Rotating crown Sleek design No specific phone required to unlock features Deep integration with Fitbit Software is fast and snappy Cons Only one size More expensive Proprietary band mechanism Smaller battery In the world of Wear OS smartwatches, two companies dominate the pack, for better or worse: Samsung has been at the top for years, and its move to Wear OS a few years back further cemented its position, while Google burst onto the scene in 2022 with the original Pixel Watch and then launched its more modest successor, the Pixel Watch 2. With the Galaxy Watch 7 now available, it's only natural to see how it compares to the Pixel Watch 2 . Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 vs. Google Pixel Watch 2: Design Why you can trust Android Central Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services to help you choose the best one. Learn more about our testing methodology. When comparing the design of the Galaxy Watch 7 to the Pixel Watch 2, there's not much to write home about. Both Samsung and Google have kept the overall look and feel the same as their predecessors. Samsung has taken a matte, subdued approach to the frame, with two buttons on the right side that allow different actions depending on what you're trying to do, and there's a digital bezel around the frame that's been very hit-and-miss over the years. On the bright side, Samsung's decision not to go with an all-new design also means you can still use your favorite bands, as they use the traditional quick clasp connector, meaning you can easily swap out bands without worrying about compatibility. There's also a stark difference in the looks of these wearables: The Galaxy Watch 7 has a flat screen and a flat frame, while the Pixel Watch 2 has a more bulbous look thanks to curved glass that blends into a round frame. Moving on to the Pixel Watch 2, Google has stuck with a slim design using polished aluminum. There's no denying that it's a very premium looking smartwatch, and it would also look great with a silicone band for hitting the gym. Unlike the Galaxy Watch 7, Google has implemented different ways to interact with the Pixel Watch 2. Instead of fumbling with the touchscreen to scroll through menus, you can use the rotating bezel on the right side, which is a much better option than the non-gesture-recognizing methods. Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 vs. Google Pixel Watch 2: Hardware and Specifications The differences between the Galaxy Watch 7 and Pixel Watch 2 become more apparent when we take a closer look at the specs of these wearables. The most obvious difference is that the Watch 7 is available in two different sizes - 40mm (1.3 inches) or 44mm (1.5 inches), while the Pixel Watch 2 only comes in a single size with a 1.2-inch AMOLED screen. Under the hood, there are two different processors: the Watch 7 is powered by Samsung's latest Exynos W1000 SoC, which is paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, which is actually an increase from the 16GB storage on the Watch 6. Samsung claims the Exynos W1000 has three times the CPU power and 30% more efficient, but we'll need to spend more time with the Watch 7 to see if there's a noticeable difference. With the Pixel Watch 2, Google switched from the Exynos 9110 to the Snapdragon W5+ paired with a Cortex M33 coprocessor. This switch brings more power and efficiency and has proven to be the right decision so far. Like the W5+, the RAM and storage capacities are the same at 2GB and 32GB respectively.

Ultimately, the Watch 7 will last through the day, just like the Pixel Watch 2, but we suspect you'll need to charge it overnight. One surprise is the software: Samsung's Galaxy Watch 7 will be the first smartwatch to run Wear OS 5 out of the box. At first glance, this makes sense given how closely Google and Samsung have worked together. However, there's no indication of when Wear OS 5 will arrive on the Pixel Watch 2. This isn't a situation like the TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro, where we don't know when Wear OS 5 will arrive, but it's still a strange and interesting decision. Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 vs. Google Pixel Watch 2: Health and Fitness Beyond notifications and time tracking, these two wearable devices also come equipped with a host of health-tracking sensors that should please just about anyone. With the Galaxy Watch 7, Samsung is introducing an "enhanced BioActive Sensor," which promises improved accuracy and more. On top of that, Samsung has introduced some new features, including the "Sleep Apnea feature," which has already received "De Novo FDA" clearance and comes about thanks to "new advanced AI algorithms for sleep analysis." However, this is just one of the features that is only available if the Galaxy Watch 7 is paired with a compatible Samsung Galaxy smartphone. All this, plus the expected features like support for over 100 workouts, the ability to create workout routines, check your body composition, etc. Additionally, the BioActive Sensor introduces the ability to track "Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs)," which is designed to help monitor your metabolic health, quickly making the Watch 7 one of the best smartwatches out there. That's not to say the Pixel Watch 2 is inferior when it comes to health and fitness tracking: it doesn't have all the handy features of the Watch 7, but it does have the added benefit of Fitbit integration, which is reason enough to choose the Pixel Watch over the Galaxy Watch. There have been signs of this for years, but the Pixel Watch 2's adoption of the Fitbit Sense 2's cEDA sensor summarily spelled the end for Fitbit's flagship wearable. It can also track a variety of metrics, including blood oxygen levels, heart rate, atrial fibrillation, skin temperature, and respiration. Many may like the fact that Google isn't trying to lock users into the Pixel ecosystem by restricting features with arbitrary requirements, although it does lock features like active blood oxygen tracking into paid service via Fitbit Premium. The six-month free trial period for Premium alleviates some of this frustration, but after that "trial" period you're left deciding whether or not you want to pay just to see your health and fitness metrics. Samsung may have the advantage here, since you don't have to pay anything and you can see everything from the Samsung Health or Samsung Health Monitor apps. Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 vs Google Pixel Watch 2: Which should you buy? One final difference we haven't mentioned is price: Samsung's Galaxy Watch 7 is $299 for the smaller 40mm model. The Pixel Watch 2 costs $349, making the Galaxy Watch 7 the cheaper of the two. That price doesn't include the additional $80 per year (or $10 per month) you could pay for Fitbit Premium. The Watch 7 seems like a "hands-on" winner against the Pixel Watch 2. The only caveat is if you own a Galaxy smartphone, which gives you access to all of the health and fitness tracking features. It's mostly the same as the Galaxy Watch 6, but the under-the-hood improvements are more than enough to give the Watch 7 the edge. While much of the attention will be on other Galaxy wearables, the Galaxy Watch 7 is a slight upgrade over the Pixel Watch 2. The only question is whether you already own a Galaxy smartphone to make the most of its features. The Pixel Watch 2 is certainly appealing because you can use it with any Android phone and not have to worry about missing features, but the hidden costs start to rear their ugly head after six months, making things even more difficult for Google.

Google resets ambitions to reclaim lost ground in AR glasses - ExBulletin
At its IO developer conference in May, Google made waves with a demo of Project Astra, a real-time AI assistant that can see and understand the world around it. The assistant can understand jokes, read code, and even remember where a user has placed their glasses. At one point, users switched to running Astra on the augmented reality glasses instead of using it via their smartphone. The show's lead-up sparked speculation that Google was reviving its Iris smart glasses, which Business Insider reported were shelved last year, but the demo was merely a concept meant to whet intrigue about what Google's AI could do with the glasses-like device. For Google, the AI boom is the perfect time for an AR comeback. Internally, the company is stepping up efforts to move faster and wants to foster partnerships across a range of head-worn devices. At the same time, it faces an uphill battle to convince customers, partners and employees that it's ready for AR. Google has had some missteps with extended reality (XR), an umbrella term for virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality devices, but it does recognize that these kinds of wearables are a logical home for the AI capabilities it's developing. Google co-founder Sergey Brin has even called glasses the "killer app" for AI. Internally, the Google team is focused on Android XR, the new software that Google hopes its hardware partners will use to build devices. Meanwhile, Google and Samsung have teamed up on a headset that will run new Google software, but executives who are concerned the device isn't yet good enough to wow users keep delaying its release until the first quarter of next year, according to people familiar with the timeline. The tech giants are now setting the stage for an arms race as they build out their AR platforms and court partners. Business Insider spoke to six people who shed light on how Google is retooling on AR and the challenges it faces. The people, whose identities were identified by BI, asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak to the press. A Google spokesperson declined to comment on the specifics of the matter. Google Senior Vice President Rick Osterloh. Ramin Talaie/Getty Google combined its devices and Android groups in April and put most of its AR and VR teams under Shahram Izadi, a former director of HoloLens at Microsoft who has worked on AR and XR efforts at Google since 2017. Google made further changes last month to bring teams in its Devices and Android groups closer together on the organizational chart, including merging the team that has been developing new optical AR technology with the group under Izadi that's working on Android XR, according to two people familiar with the move, which should allow the company to work faster and more efficiently. Hugo Swart, former head of XR at Qualcomm, joined Google's AR group in April to lead ecosystem strategy and partnerships. "He's very interested in relationship management and how to partner well," said a person who previously worked with Swart, highlighting the significance of his move for Google's AR ambitions. At the same time, Google has been going through a wave of layoffs and leadership changes, including Jeffrey Margolis, Google's chief AR architect who previously worked on Microsoft's HoloLens headset, leaving the company last month to work on future AR glasses at Meta, according to a person with direct knowledge of the changes. Other Googlers have also left for Meta in recent months, this person said, in part due to frustration with Google's constant pivoting and its decision in January to lay off employees working on augmented reality. Mark Lukowski, Google's senior director of AR software, left the company in July last year, citing "changes in AR leadership and Google's shaky approach and vision for the product." Paul Greco, who oversaw the optical technology that Google acquired with startup Raxium in 2022, also left Google for Meta's XR group. Barry, Betty and Harriet According to a person who saw a recent demo, Google is making promising progress with its Raxium optical technology, which the company has incorporated into the collection of internally developed software it's using to build and showcase Android XR, each with a name like "Betty," "Barry" or "Harriet" (within the names are hints at their capabilities; Harriet includes the letter "et" because the prototype has eye-tracking capabilities). A breakthrough like this could help the company eventually restart first-party products. For now, the company is focused on landing partners like Samsung and Qualcomm to bring Android XR to different types of headsets, from fully immersive to glasses-like devices. "Google is getting out of the first-party glasses business for the time being," one current employee said. "We're just building prototypes to get people to use our software." Some current and former employees speculate that Google's decision not to make its own hardware products could help convince partners that the company won't play second fiddle to its own glasses products. "Doing anything first-party has relationship challenges," said a former Google AR team member. "It puts you in competition with your partners. It's a delicate issue." Executives on stage at Samsung Unpacked in 2023. Samsung Google and Samsung are continuing to work together on a mixed-reality headset similar to Apple's Vision Pro, code-named Moohan internally. Announced in February 2023, the device was originally scheduled to be released in the first quarter of this year but has since been delayed. A consumer version is now expected to be released in March of next year, with a developer version in October of this year, according to a person familiar with the internal timeline. There is speculation internally that Samsung could be the first to make glasses powered by Google's AR software, according to two employees familiar with the matter. Google runs prototypes of Moohan and other devices on chips made by Qualcomm, and expects the company to be a key strategic partner as it ramps up its new efforts. Google expects Qualcomm to fully support Android XR and employees were told the company may move from its Snapdragon Spaces development platform to Google's, according to employees who heard the executives' remarks. A Qualcomm spokesperson told BI that the company's senior XR lead, Saeed Bakadir, recently said Spaces will be "forward compatible" with Android XR, but declined to comment further on plans. Google's XR Graveyard It's been more than a decade since Google Glass was released. The device has sold poorly, become something of a laughing stock for the company, and is seen as a symbol of Silicon Valley arrogance (you can see a pair of Google Glass at the traveling Museum of Failure). After licking its wounds, Google tried a more immersive virtual reality headset called Daydream, opening up the software for partners to develop for it, but again it didn't resonate with consumers and the effort slowly faded away. Then the company launched Project Iris, a reboot of Google Glass that looks more like regular glasses and includes features like live translation. Last year, the company froze Iris development because it wasn't convinced the technology was good enough to banish the ghost of Google Glass, causing frustration among Google employees who had watched rivals get further ahead. While Google continues to zigzag, Apple has forged ahead with Vision Pro and Meta has launched several virtual reality devices and Ray-Ban glasses that record video and play sound. With no devices of its own and its AR software still in development, Google is now on the back foot. It sells Android XR to partners and hopes that the arrival of AI will allow it to re-enter the market. But its inconsistent approach in the space could make it hard to convince partners to work with Google instead of building their own software products. Google co-founder Sergey Brin wearing Google Glass. Kim Kulish/Getty Images Questions remain about whether AR developer software like Android XR makes sense, which one former Googler said "could unify this fragmented landscape and give developers a common platform." So far, Apple, Meta and others have opted to build their own operating systems, with Meta saying it plans to partner with companies like Lenovo and Microsoft on its Horizon OS platform. Google was in talks with Meta to focus all of its efforts on Android XR, but Meta rejected the proposal because it already had its own platform, according to a person familiar with the matter. The backlash highlights how late Google is to the market. Anshel Saag, principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, said the company's frequent leadership changes and strategy shifts have led it to cede market share to rivals, but that Google could be a "driver" if it can convince partners and OEMs that Android XR is here to stay. "Google has severed relationships with developers and OEMs multiple times," Sag said. "Without any assurances that they won't disappear again, I think it will be very difficult for Google to easily re-enter the market." Are you a current or former Googler and have something to say?

Its design and dimensions are no longer a secret, but it is a surprise - ExBulletin
This year, the Menlo Park-based company is moving up its usual schedule for launching its flagship products, and if the rumors are true, the event will take place in August. And thankfully, because it's hard to keep secrets. We've already seen teasers revealing its design and we know of Google AI as a strong rival to Apple Intelligence. And now, beware, this leak will reveal: a close-up of the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL. In addition, this time not one but two videos from the TikTok account Pixo Unpacking have been uploaded to the network in the past hours. What is most interesting about these images of the Pixel 9's older brother is its size. In the video, the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is compared in size with other mobile phones, from the Google Pixel 9 to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, allowing us to better contextualize its dimensions. Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Appearance In the oldest video, you can clearly see the difference in size compared to the entire body of the Google Pixel 9 and Google Pixel 9 Pro XL. Thus, the bar houses three rear cameras, an LED flash and a temperature sensor. On one side, there is the power button and volume buttons, at the bottom there is a USB-C port, a SIM tray and a speaker. On the top edge, there is a 5G mmWave antenna. Follow !
