Google looks set to release the latest Pixel update next month, further widening the gap with Samsung Galaxy phones still awaiting their first Android 15 update. Ironically, the good Pixel news comes at the same time as the bad Samsung news that Android 15 and its One UI 7 wrap are likely delayed even longer than feared.

The Pixel Watch 3 is getting a first-of-its-kind, potentially life-saving feature. In a blog post, Google announced that it had received FDA clearance for its Loss of Pulse Detection feature. Also: My new favorite Android smartwatch outperforms Google and Samsung in a crucial way

Woot's "Deals of the Day" are also slashing the prices for a high-performance Dell XPS 15 laptop by hundreds and TP-Link's Tapo C402 camera down to $20.

Playing is a helpful Pixel feature, but it's been broken of late. Now, Google is here with a fix coming in a future update.

Google finally has a fix for the buggy Now Playing feature on Pixel phones and it will roll out to users with "an upcoming release."

Pixel users experienced problems with the Now Playing feature, including disappearing history, malfunctioning manual search, and an unstable magnifying tool, leading to frustration and reliance on alternative apps like Shazam.
