Recall the day when battery issues weren't exactly an issue with highlight phones? These days with smartphones, battery issues appear to be an immense issue, particularly for Google Pixel proprietors who, as indicated by a post on Reddit, appear to experience enormous battery channel following the June 2023 Element Drop update.

As per clients ringing in on the string, it appears to be that after clients refreshed their gadgets to the most recent June update, they have encountered very extreme battery channel on their Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 gadgets, for certain clients guaranteeing that they need to re-energize their phones when evening rolls around.

This is somewhat insane on the grounds that it implies that clients are scarcely getting a portion of a day of battery before it begins running short. Notwithstanding battery channel, clients are likewise revealing that they are encountering unexpected sign drops on their phones oftentimes, and that the main fix right presently is restart it no less than one time each day, which doesn't appear to be extremely functional.

It is indistinct the way that far and wide this issue is nevertheless deciding by the remarks, it is by all accounts very normal. Google hasn't answered the issue yet however ideally they know about it and that a fix is underway.

The Google Pixel 7a could appear to be an incredible incentive for cash phone, particularly when you consider that the core of the phone, the Tensor G2 chipset, was utilized to drive the Google Pixel 7.

This intends that in principle and as far as execution, the Pixel 7a ought to have the option to hold up to the Pixel 7, correct? Turns out that probably won't be the situation. As per a tweet by Kamila Wojciechowska, they have revealed some proof that proposes that the Tensor G2 chipset in the Pixel 7a could really be a "somewhat more regrettable" form contrasted with the one in the Pixel 7.

Essentially, without getting too specialized, the manner in which Google bundled the Pixel 7a's Tensor G2 chipset is not quite the same as the manner in which they did with the Pixel 7. Rather than utilizing Samsung's FOPLP-PoP innovation, they selected a possibly less expensive other option, which is IPOP, which results in a chipset that is thicker, bigger, and obviously runs more sultry than the FOPLP-PoP variant.

Wojciechowska specifies that it is muddled what genuine ramifications this could have for the Pixel 7a, yet it is conceivable that since it could not really be as intensity productive, it could bring about bottlenecks and could see the phone run more slow in specific circumstances. To be reasonable to research, we get it as the organization is presumably attempting to reduce expenses in any case the last retail cost of the Pixel 7a may be excessively high.

It likewise doesn't be guaranteed to imply that the Pixel 7a is a terrible phone using any and all means, it's simply that you ought to presumably go in with somewhat lower assumptions, particularly assuming you were expecting comparative execution to the Pixel 7.

Walking while making video calls is probably not the best idea. This is because while you're on a call, you might be distracted and might not pay attention to what's in front of you, where you might end up walking into other people, bumping into things, or worst case scenario, walk into oncoming traffic.

That being said, Google understands that sometimes you might need to walk while on a video call, which is why according to an APK teardown by the folks at 9to5Google, they have discovered a new and upcoming feature to the app called "On-the-Go".

Basically what this does is that when the app detects that you might be walking about while on a video call, users will be prompted to enable the feature which will basically turn off your phone's camera and video. This essentially turns your video call into a voice call, but it only affects you as other participants will still be able to see each other.

The UI elements will also change to feature larger buttons that makes it easier to reach and press, so that you won't have to keep glancing at your phone while walking. That being said, users can already manually disable their video while on a call, so basically what this does is that it sort of automates the process for you in case you forget.

At I/O earlier this month, Google finally took the wraps off its Pixel Fold, its foldable phone which we have been hearing about for a while now. But as it turns out, had things been a bit different, we might have seen not one, but two foldable phones from Google.

This was confirmed during the official Made By Google podcast in which head of design of hardware products, Ivy Ross, revealed that Google was working on another foldable model but ultimately decided not to go ahead with it. According to Ross:

"I'm really proud of the team because there was another foldable model that we had created, that we had the discipline to hold back and say ‘nope, it's not good enough yet,' and really wait until we felt like we could do something that was good enough or better than what was out there already."

It is unclear what the second model could have been, but it is being speculated that it could have been a flip style phone, similar to the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series. That being said, it's interesting that Google actually revealed this since companies like Google don't usually explicitly say what they are or have been working on.

This doesn't mean that a Pixel Flip isn't entirely out of the question. It is possible that Google is still working on it and getting it up to their standards before releasing it, but we suppose until we hear otherwise, it's probably best not to get your hopes up for now.

One of the reasons why you would get a Pixel phone from Google is due to certain exclusive features that Google has introduced to the phone's software. One of those features is Call Screen that does a pretty good job at detecting calls from spam callers and giving users options on how they want to handle it.

Now according to Android Police, Google has issued an update that will simplify the feature. In the update, Google has changed the settings for Call Screen into various protection levels, ranging from basic, to medium, and to maximum.

With the basic level, the Call Screen feature will automatically decline calls from known spam numbers in Google's database, while the maximum protection level will basically decline all spam calls and screen unknown numbers. Prior to this update, Call Screen had more granular options.

For example, users could choose how to handle incoming spam calls, such as allowing their phones to ring, automatically screen and decline robocalls, or to silently decline them. This update more or less consolidates those options into protection levels. This is easier for users who aren't familiar with these options, but at the same time we understand that more advanced users would have preferred having more options to choose from.

Either way the changes appear to be rolling out at the moment, so keep an eye on it if you happen to own a Google Pixel handset.
