On Tuesday, Google posted patch notes for the imminent Android security update for December, which will roll out to all Android devices starting today. These monthly updates normally fix potential vulnerabilities for devices running Android 9, but this month’s update includes specific patches for Pixel phones in addition to the normal security updates. The patches include improved camera performance, fixes for screen flickering bugs and apps accidentally closing while running in the background, and several others.

One of the most convenient features Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 owners enjoy, call screening, is getting an important upgrade. By the end of the year, your device will be able to save the call transcriptions it creates when dealing with suspected spam calls (or calls you choose to screen manually). And if you don’t want to wait, you can beta test the feature right now.

There are few smartphone hacks as useful as ones that extend your device’s battery life, and via this Reddit post by user u/neq, you might be able to give your Android phone’s battery life a significant boost by disabling to a relatively unknown feature.

Details of the Pixel 3 XL leaked earlier this month. Now a throwaway account on Reddit has leaked images and specs of its smaller sibling, the Pixel 3. Here are the details.

We've known for a while now that the Pixel 3 XL smartphone will be coming with a notched display. (It's something Pixel fans are going to have to get used to.) A new unboxing video just gave us our closest look at the notch yet - and it's even more obtrusive and ugly than we imagined.

The Google Pixel range remains one of the best Android options on the market. This is in large part due to innovative software features like Assistant and inbuilt unlimited cloud storage for photos and video. If you're still using an older handset, you can get most of the Pixel's big, best features with a few clever tweaks.

Google has released the Android P Beta into the wild - its best and most ambitious version in years. Unlike the Developer Preview, this is a more stable build that non-techies can enjoy. Here are the steps required.

A hidden feature has been uncovered in Google's new phone: The device features a secret dark theme and unlocking it is surprisingly easy.

Google pulled off something few companies have managed recently - releasing something unexpected. While their new smartphones were expected, they added a bunch of stuff few people saw coming.

Early this morning, Google pulled back the curtain on a suite of new products at their event in San Francisco including the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, new Google Home products, a 2-in-1 notebook and earbuds. If you were peacefully sleeping during the announcements - I don't blame you - and you can read about all the new products coming to Australia, right here.

Google Assistant has some really weird inconsistencies. For example, up until recently, you could control smart home devices from your Pixel phone, but only if you added them from a Google Home first. Now, you can skip the Home.

The Daydream View is not Google's first foray into virtual reality (VR). It already tested the waters with Google Cardboard. The Daydream View is like Cardboard on steroids and just like its predecessor, the new VR headset is aimed at a mobile audience. While Samsung's Gear VR already has a head start in the market, Google has a few tricks up its sleeve that could give Daydream View an edge over its competition. Here's what we think of the Google Daydream View.

Google Pixel owners, this is the mod you've been waiting for. Well, one of them at least. If you've been disappointed by the Pixel's lack of dual speakers, no problem -- like the Nexus before it, a rooted Pixel can be tweaked via software to kidnap the earpiece for use as a second speaker.

Google's new Pixel phones are here to replace the Nexus line. Normally, we wouldn't pit new phones against old ones but if you're shopping now, or looking to replace an explodey Galaxy Note 7, these are your two best options. Let's look at how the old guard stacks up against Google's new hardware play, and where the real value lies.

The reviews are in and most agree, Google's new Pixel phones are awesome. They also mark the death of the Nexus line. With the shift towards Pixels, Google is turning its eye from the experimental world of Nexus devices, to the bigger world of phone buyers everywhere.

The highly-coveted Google Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones are now available in Australia. Here's everything you need to know about buying the device, including specs, outright pricing, available mobile plans and how to purchase overseas.

Google unveiled its Pixel smartphone range this week and the company has struck up an exclusive telco arrangement with Telstra to sell the handsets on mobile plans. Let's face it: making a phone carrier exclusive is going to rub a lot of people the wrong way and the phone is pricey to buy outright. If you're still interested in getting the Google Pixel or the Pixel XL with Telstra, here's a breakdown of all the plans the phones will be available on.

Google has a new phone. Two new phones, actually -- a 5-inch Pixel and a 5.5-inch Pixel XL -- that are packed to the brim with brand new software from the tech giant, including a new Google Assistant that takes the fight to Apple's Siri, a camera that is apparently the best ever on a smartphone, and all of Google's massive trove of search engine and artificial intelligence machine learning know-how packed inside.

Google just launched its Google Pixel smartphones this morning. One of the biggest draw card for the Pixel is that it comes with Google Assistant already on-board. Google Assistant is, as the name suggests, a digital personal assistant that is activated by voice commands. It's the next-generation of Google Now, the company's existing voice assistant that is available across iOS and Android handsets. While Google Now is more static, Google Assistant can get to know individual users on a personal level and can do more than its predecessor. We asked Google to give us a demonstration of Assistant and we drill down on how it differs from Google Now.
