We got to see the Google's Pixel Watch 4 in person and it’s coming with quite a few updates.
The Verge· 2025-08-20 17:02
We just got a look at the Google Pixel Watch 4. There's a ton of updates. So, let's just dive right in.First off, there's a new domed display, which means the display under the glass is also domed. And basically, you get about 15% thinner bezels and 10% more screen space. Where OS 6 also adds material 3 expressive, and I kind of dig the way the rounded edges really emphasize the round display.No squirrels here, folks. Battery life is better than last year, and it charges about 25% faster, too. You can go fr ...
Pixel 10 and Pro Fold hands-on: updates you can’t see
The Verge· 2025-08-20 16:00
[Music] So, these phones might look familiar. They look a lot like last year's phones. I'm talking about the Pixel 10, the Pixel 10 Pro, the 10 Pro XL, and the 10 Pro Fold.But there's actually a lot to talk about, even if you can't really see the difference from the outside. Some of the changes are like Gemini updates that are just floating around the UI and one of them is inside the phone. So, we definitely didn't see that.They might be look alikes from the outside, but hang tight cuz we have a lot to talk ...
Pixel Watch 4 hands-on: Can Google take the lead in wearables?
The Verge· 2025-08-20 16:00
Do you guys remember the first Pixel Watch back in 2022. I know, I know. I promise this is a video about the Pixel Watch 4, but I'm bringing up the OG Pixel Watch for a very good reason because I almost can't believe how far Google's come in such a short amount of time.That original Pixel Watch had thick bezels, battery life was not great, and it just had a lot of firstgen quirks and growing pains to overcome. But fast forward to 2025 and with the Pixel Watch 4, it sort of feels like Google starting to, dar ...

Look, it made a chess board. Can you see this. It made a chess board and it worked.I'm like, "Hey, this is pretty good. This is not so bad."

What's that in my eye. It's video from a drone like none I've ever tried. I'm flying straight forward, but I can look around cuz this drone is a 360° camera with omnidirectional filming.Want to check out some birds. I wasn't even watching them that day, but now I can rotate and zoom to show you the whole flock. Again, I'm just flying forward, but we can follow them with our eye, look at their perches, watch them fly as we pass, or check out these sharp rocks below.And this isn't DJI. Today, I'm toying with ...

Permanent outdoor smart lighting: yay or nay? #Vergecast
The Verge· 2025-08-13 15:58
But I have definitely restrained from the permanent outdoor lighting thing that everyone's doing on the houses. Yeah, me too. Uh I think GOI and Nanoleaf all have those.GE Sync I think also has an option there and I just can't get into that. It just seems like a bit too much for me. Yeah, I look at that as like I look at smart fridges, right.My house is going to be there forever. This technology is going to be outdated in five or six years probably. So, do I really want to invest the time to install somethi ...

The Verge· 2025-08-12 14:00
It still amazes me that you can be on the beach on a cell phone and buying a company. And I said, you know, everyone I'm losing customers every day because their hubs are turned off. So I talked to the team and they said, "Yeah, we know exactly what to do. We can have them turned on tomorrow." So I actually decided to just bite the bullet and turn the hubs on.And that was on a Tuesday. The lights all turned green and the social media started lighting up. Oh my gosh, is yours on.Mine's on. Oh, this is great. ...
