Google's new Pixel phone isn't so much a revolution as a solid improvement: like this year's iPhones, Google is making incremental changes this year. If you're wondering whether it's worth going for the shiny new Pixel 3 over the now sure-to-be-discounted Pixel 2, read on.

Whenever I travel abroad I always do my best to act like a local, including speaking the local language whenever I can. In some countries that works great, in others, I can't really avoid being a bumbling mess.

Android Pie has been around for a few weeks now and, while it's been well received by most, it's not perfect. While some features make sense, such as moving select top bar elements to accommodate the notch in the Pixel 3 XL, other "features" have been less popular. Here are some things Android Pie needs to get right sooner rather than later.

Yesterday, Google announced that the much-maligned notch on the Google Pixel 3 XL is a "removable" feature that can be hidden via a secret setting in Android Pie. Here's why you shouldn't get too excited.

Google officially unveiled the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL after weeks of rumours and, unsurprisingly, they’re packed with new features and hardware that make them an appreciable upgrade over not just Google’s past Pixel smartphones, but many of their competitors as well.

Today, Google unveiled two new flagship smartphones rocking Android Pie straight out of the box - Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. While they won't actually be hitting store shelves until November 1, you can pre-order either phone right now. Here are the links for Australian eager beavers!

Google's search engine is an always-expanding, extremely useful tool that's packed with tons of different tools. Over on Zapier, they outline tons of different advanced tricks for searching Google as quickly as possible.

Google events don’t typically elicit the same amount of fanfare as Apple’s do, but the announcements are just as enticing for both enthusiasts and anyone who likes shiny new things. This year, in an event held in New York City, the company revealed its new Pixel phones, a redux of the Pixel tablet (now with Chrome OS), a smart display, and a host of other devices it didn’t even bother mentioning (though we’ll tell you about them).

Overnight, Google announced a swag of new products. Amongst them was the Google Pixel Slate. This is a detachable tablet that boasts a touchscreen, removable keyboard and runs Chrome OS. Here's what you need to know.

Google's attempt to take over the world of social networking, Google+ never really gained the traction the company hoped. And any hope of it catching up to Facebook were scotched last week when a massive hack was revealed resulting in the search giant announcing they would be shutting the service down next year. But in order to protect yourself now, here's how to delete your Google+ profile.

Google Home Hub is the latest member of Google's popular smart speaker family. At first glance, it looks like a Google Home with an LCD bolted on top - which seems pretty superfluous, given you can use existng Homes to stream video to TVs.

However, it turns out that the main selling point isn't video streaming at all. (The key is in the product's name.) In short, it will act as the central hub for all your smart home devices, allowing you to control them at a glance.

In the wee hours of Wednesday morning, Google lifted the lid on its new hardware devices for 2018 - including the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones. If you were sensibly tucked in bed, you can re-live the entire event right here.

Rather than wait for your queries, Google's latest tool aims to answer your questions before you even ask. It's just one of a raft of new features the the company is introducing to mark 20 years of Search.

On October 9, Google will be holding its annual Hardware event in New York City. These events are where we hear about all the big new announcements for devices and services that the tech giant is prepping.

Google has announced the closure of its ailing social media network Google+ in response to a data leak that exposed up to 500,000 users. If you were one of the few people still using the platform - or created an account and forgot about it - here's what you need to know.

Google’s October 9 hardware event is approaching quickly, and over the past few weeks, rumours about what new devices Google will be announcing have been at a fever pitch. While we have a pretty good idea of what announcements to expect, the most obvious are the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones. Here's how to ensure you get your device on launch day.

Google recently launched a new accessibility feature for Android devices, the Voice Access app. Voice Access goes beyond the voice commands already recognised by Google Assistant by allowing you to also control the touch- and gesture-based interfaces of your Android phone (and most apps).

Google is expected to announce its next generation of phones, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, this week at an event in New York. Here's how to watch all the announcements live from Australia.
