Google has just announced a new phone plan for the upcoming Pixel 9 series. This plan, called the Pixel Plan, is part of Google Fi Wireless and will be available when the Pixel 9 launches. With this plan, users can get device protection, a phone upgrade every two years, and a special discount when buying the Pixel 9.
The Pixel Plan is meant to give Pixel users more value and make it easier to keep their phones up to date. Google Fi already offers flexible and unlimited plans, but the Pixel Plan is focused on people who want the latest Pixel features and extra support.
In other news, Google is making a big change for the Pixel 10. Reports say that Google will switch from Samsung to TSMC to make the chip for the Pixel 10. The chip, likely called Tensor G5, will be the first Pixel chip made by TSMC. This move is surprising because Google has worked with Samsung for the past Pixel chips.
TSMC is known for making powerful and efficient chips, so this change could mean better performance and battery life for future Pixel phones. The switch also shows that Google wants to improve its hardware and keep up with other top smartphone brands.
Overall, Google is working hard to give Pixel users better plans and stronger phones in the future.
Recently, leaked images of Google Pixel 10 cases have surfaced online, giving us a good look at what the new phone might look like. These case photos, shared by a reliable source, show that Google could be making some changes to the Pixel 10’s design compared to last year’s Pixel 9 series.
The most noticeable change is the camera bar. The Pixel 10’s camera area seems a bit slimmer and more refined than before, but it still stretches across the back of the phone. The cases also suggest that the phone will keep its flat sides, a design choice Google started with the Pixel 6 and continued in later models.
Another detail from the leaks is the button placement. The power and volume buttons are still on the right side, just like previous Pixels. The cases show cutouts for the USB-C port and speakers at the bottom, which is pretty standard for most smartphones.
Overall, these leaks hint that Google isn’t making huge changes to the Pixel 10’s look, but it is making small tweaks to keep things fresh. As always, these are just early leaks, so the final design could still change before Google officially announces the phone.
In short, the leaked Pixel 10 cases give us a sneak peek at Google’s next phone, showing a familiar but slightly updated design that fans will likely recognize and appreciate.
Google is working on some exciting updates for its future Pixel phones. According to recent reports, the Pixel 10 might come with a special macro camera. This camera would let you take clear and detailed close-up photos, which is something Pixel phones haven’t had before.
Right now, Google uses a telephoto lens for zooming in, but a macro lens would be better for capturing small details, like flowers or insects. This change could help the Pixel 10 stand out from other smartphones.
Along with the camera news, new codenames for the Pixel 12 series have been found. These codenames are used by Google during the development process. The Pixel 12 and Pixel 12 Pro are called “clementine” and “kiwi.” There is also a third model, possibly the Pixel 12 Pro XL, with the codename “robo.” These names don’t reveal much about the phones themselves, but they do confirm that Google is working on more than two Pixel 12 models.
In summary, Google’s upcoming Pixel phones could offer a better camera experience with a new macro lens, and the Pixel 12 series will include at least three different models. Fans of Pixel phones can look forward to more choices and improved features soon.
