Google made the announcement over the weekend in an email that should have gone out to everyone with an Android phone. In the email titled, “New Android Backup Storage Policy & Controls,” Google explains the two big changes and also what your current storage status is, in case you might need to buy more.

The biggest change here is that Android device backups are now counting toward your Google Account storage limit. Everything in Google Photos, as well as your MMS data, already counts, but now we’re adding on SMS messages, call history, device settings, and app settings.

For most of you, this might not change much, assuming you’ve upgraded to any of the Google One storage plans and aren’t still relying on free Google Account storage. Like with any storage solution, should you run oiut of storage, automatic backups of your device will pause until there is free space.

For new controls, Google is rolling out granular app backup toggles within your Android backup settings. You can now toggle on a per app basis for every single app on your device that might want to back something up. You also have toggles for SMS and MMS messages, call history, and device settings.

Here’s a portion of the email that you should have received:

• The Policy Update: Effective in 45 days, all data included in your Android device backups will begin counting toward your Google Account storage limit. Photos and videos in Google Photos and MMS data already count toward your Google Account storage today. With this change all other backed-up data such as SMS messages, call history, device settings, and app settings will also count toward your Google Account storage. The storage used by your device backup may increase once this policy takes effect. If your Google Account exceeds its storage limit, your automatic backups will pause until you free up space or upgrade your plan.
• New Controls for You: With this change, we are also introducing granular app backup toggles in your Android backup settings. If you are on Android 9 or higher, you can now select exactly which data types and individual apps you want to back up, ensuring you only use storage for what matters most to you.

And finally, here are the new Android backup settings to be on the lookout for:

Let us know if you need help finding these new backup controls.

As a part of today’s Android 17 QPR2 Beta 1 release, Google announced that the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro would not be a part of this beta program. They won’t be a part of it because they will each reach End of Life status with Android 17 QPR1.

Backing up a bit, we do need to point out that the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro were always supposed to at least see security updates through October 2026. However, back in 2024, Google expanded their number of years of OS updates through that same October 2026 date, giving them an extra 2 years.

But now we know that Android 17 QPR1 will be the last big update (at least of the quarterly level) for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Android 17 QPR1 is expected to go stable and release to Pixel devices in September 2026. Since Google has these devices supported through October, we could see another security patch then before they are cut off.

The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have essentially been dropped to an unconfirmed quarterly update schedule within the past year. We’ve tracked their odd update situation in order to help owners of these devices understand if their phones are getting updates each month or not.

To recap, Google said today that, “Pixel 6 and 6Pro users will not be getting [QPR2 Beta 1] OTA since the device will reach End of Life and Android 17 QPR1 beta series will be the last for these devices.”

This first beta for Android 17 QPR2 is available for the Pixel 6a up through the Pixel 10 series and Pixel 10a. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have officially been cut off with this release. They will reach end of life with Android 17 QPR1 in September.

The update brings at least 8 noteworthy bug fixes that we have included below. Since this is a new QPR build, there is a good chance that this brings a lot more too. QPR releases are quarterly builds that often introduce new features and arrive alongside Pixel Feature Drops.

Since Android 17 QPR1 will go stable for September, this update should arrive around December 2026.

Android 17 QPR2 Beta bug fixes

• Bluetooth re-pairing fails silently following a remote bond loss. (Issue #412524057)
• Media player controls briefly flashed on the lock screen upon waking the device despite the app’s notifications being disabled. (Issue #484607701)
• A system crash causing Pixel devices to unexpectedly reboot when invoking Gemini. (Issue #505750489)
• Initiating a drag-and-drop gesture with multiple fingers caused the source application to stop receiving subsequent touch events. (Issue #516836306)
• Notifications randomly became invisible in the notification shade until a system restart. (Issue #526139207, Issue #522657034)
• ML-DSA key generation fails with an exception when using the “NONE” string digest instead of the class constant. (Issue #525612735)
• An issue in AccessibilityNodeInfo.toString() where window bounds were incorrectly logged using screen bounds, which caused misleading accessibility debugging data. (Issue #520428442)
• Window-level UI blur effects failed to render and the “Allow window-level blurs” developer toggle reset after rebooting. (Issue #527376569)

The best way to get this update is through the Android Beta Program (sign-up). If you are into flashing images, there are OTA images available (here) too.

The image at the top of this post is of Pixel 11 Pro, specifically. The image comes from a Google Fi page that has since been cleaned up and no longer shows. We’ve captured the promo below and saved a high-res version of the image for you.

The Pixel 11 Pro XL is mentioned next to the picture, but we believe this is the Pixel 11 Pro (the mic location is the giveaway). The device is in the upcoming “Canyon” colorway that has also been referred to as “Dune.” I’m leaning towards Canyon being the official name. If you compare this image to the Pixel 11 series images we shared last week, it is identical.

As for the promo, it sounds nice as long as there aren’t any special tricks or wild requirements. Google Fi is hosting a Pixel 11 Pro XL deal that will get you the device “for just $100.” We aren’t sure if that price will need a big time trade-in from you or if Google is doing a bill credit contract, but either way, that’s a nice price for a device expected to start at $1,299. We have full Pixel 11 series pricing if you missed it.

Of course, the specs and pricing info isn’t confirmed just yet, but the Amazon listings that gave it to us did showcase what we now believe to be official imagery. There is certainly a good chance that all of the Pixel 11 prices were spot on and not just placeholders.

We’ll let you know if we find more.

READ: Everything we know about the Pixel 11 series

Read the original post: Here’s an Official Pixel 11 Pro From Google

According to the Mystic Leaks Telegram channel that gave us some of the earliest Pixel 11 series data that held up, the Pixel 11a is operating currently under the codename of “formosan” and will come in Obsidian, Olive, Frost, and Fog.

The rest of the Pixel 11a specs list looks as you might expect, with Tensor G6 there, Titan M3, and the new MediaTek modem that we believe will be in the other Pixel 11 devices. Since the Pixel A-series often launches in the year after its namesake series, we do typically see it matching specs, just with a few corners cut in order to keep the price reasonable.

Pixel 11a (Formosan) – Specs, features

• SKUs – GQ05X (ROW), GP1BL (JPN), G4XQ2 (NA)
• Colors – BLK (Black; Obsidian), GRN (Green; Olive), PPL (Purple; Frost), SLV (Silver; Fog)
• SoC – Tensor G6 (Malibu)
• GSC – Titan M3 (Epic)
• GPU – PowerVR C-Series CXTP-48-1536
• Modem – MediaTek M90
• RAM – 8 GB
• Display – 1080×2424 6.3 inch, 60-120Hz, up to 2250 nits (HDR) and 3350 nits peak
• Battery – minimal capacity 4870 mAh
• Camera – new front cam – dokkaebi

As a bit of a bonus info drop, they believe the Pixel 12a is codenamed “marmoset.” So add Pixel 12 to your notepad as the next thing to start keeping track of.

After the Pixel 10a disappointingly launched without any upgrades over the Pixel 9a, does this sound like enough of an upgrade to consider waiting around for, budget fans?

Read the original post: Pixel 11a Gets an Early Specs List, More

The research comes from Counterpoint, who notes that Samsung remains the global leader with a 24% smartphone market share and saw at least some growth, followed by Apple at 20% with shipments growing by 3% YoY. Companies like Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo all saw double-digit shipment declines.

Google, while they may not even crack the top 5 for global smartphone makers, is at least seeing steady gains from its Pixel line. Counterpoint estimates a 16% shipment growth in Q2 alone. They give credit to the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10a for this success.

I’m not sure Google will ever reach the top tier in shipments, mostly because they don’t sell their phones in enough countries. For example, Google sells the Pixel 10 in 22 countries, while Apple sells its iPhone in at least 128 countries. It’s hard to reach the numbers of Apple and Samsung when you are only available in a fraction of the countries they sell in.

But hey, seeing growth is great in an industry that is likely to struggle for the foreseeable future. The RAM crisis won’t end any time soon, thanks to a ridiculous obsession with AI expansion at the cost of everything.

With only Samsung and Google left in places like the US, maybe things are still looking up for Pixel?

Thanks to numerous leaks, we know that Google is continuing with its multi-device strategy, prepping four models for later this year, just like they have as far back as the Pixel 9 series. When August rolls around, there is a high likelihood that we get the Pixel 11 (codename cubs), Pixel 11 Pro (codename grizzly), Pixel 11 Pro XL (codename kodiak), and the foldable Pixel 11 Pro Fold (codename yogi).

While the potential for major hardware upgrades are unlikely, there still may be reason to consider buying one. Let’s dive into everything we know about the Pixel 11 series so far.

Release Date and Expected Pricing

From the moment Google moved its hardware event up to the summer, Google now slides in-between Samsung and Apple launches, rather than awkwardly arriving after both. Google is running back that exact same timeline this year, meaning an August launch is happening on August 12 for the Pixel 11. The Pixel 9 was announced on August 13 and the Pixel 10 landed on August 20.

On the pricing front, early reports suggested Google was looking to maintain stability. However, new information contradicts that. If the prices held from the Pixel 10 series, we will see a mixture of price increases and stability, as well as RAM downgrades on some models.

Following rumored pricing for Europe that first arrived, we now have likely official pricing, thanks to a retailer showing us all of those details early. There are plenty of increases to be mentioned.

The Pixel 11 will stay at $899 for 256GB, which is now the starting storage. 128GB models appear to be gone for 2026. The Pixel 11 will also get a new 512GB option in the US.

The Pixel 11 Pro may not see a single price increase on any storage variant, but again, there will be no 128GB model. The lowest tier will be the $1,099 256GB Pixel 11 Pro.

For the Pixel 11 Pro XL, we are looking at $100 increases to every storage option from 256GB up through 1TB.

Finally, for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, each storage option (256GB, 512GB, and 1TB) will see $100 price increases.

Design and Display

The Pixel 11 series will largely iterate on the hardware identity that Google first kicked off with the Pixel 9 series and continued through the Pixel 10. However, initial CAD renders indicate that the camera bar is seeing a subtle facelift. While previous models featured a frame color that wrapped around the lenses, supposed renders show a completely blacked-out camera housing, giving the rear array a cleaner look.

There is a rumored Pixel Glow lighting system that could wrap behind the camera bar too, but we’ll get into that later.

As for specific sizes, these shouldn’t change much either, and we expect each model to measure in as follows:

• Pixel 11: 152.8 x 72 x 8.5mm
• Pixel 11 Pro: 152.7 x 71.8 x 8.4mm
• Pixel 11 Pro XL: 162.7 x 76.5 x 8.5mm
• Pixel 11 Pro Fold (unfolded): 155.2 x 150.4 x 4.8mm
• Pixel 11 Pro Fold (folded): 155.2 x 76 x 10.1mm

With sizes in mind, the display tech (likely) should be familiar, with subtle improvements to peak brightness and not much else. Here’s how the display size and tech breaks down by model across the entire family:

Outside of the camera bar changes, you can see from everything else we know today that these will be very familiar. We’ve also seen what each device should look like (Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold).

In a recent slip-up, Amazon posted all of the devices early, giving us official renders of all devices and the colors they’ll ship in.

The Pixel 11 can be seen above in Frost, Pistachio, Hibiscus, and Obsidian.

The Pixel 11 Pro and 11 Pro XL can be seen above in Olive, Obsidian, Canyon, and Fog.

Finally, below is the Pixel 11 Pro Fold in Obsidian and Olive.

Tensor G6

In the processor department, Google is expected to be moving to the Tensor G6 processor, and for silicon nerds, this could be a big one. The Tensor G6 will be built on TSMC’s N2 (2nm) node process. The 2nm node is expected to bring improvements in thermal efficiency, battery endurance, and performance over previous Tensor chips.

A massive leak revealed the exact CPU layout for the Tensor G6:

• 1× ARM C1-Ultra clocked at a blistering 4.11 GHz
• 4× ARM C1-Pro clocked at 3.38 GHz
• 2× ARM C1-Pro clocked at 2.65 GHz

That same leak also suggested the entire system-on-chip architecture is getting an overhaul. The Pixel 11 series chip upgrade situation continues as follows:

• GPU: PowerVR C-Series CXTP-48-1536
• Modem: MediaTek M90 (MT6986D)
• Security: Titan M3 security chip
• AI & Imaging: A completely upgraded TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) alongside a brand-new GXP imaging coprocessor

As a bit of added info here, new FCC listings that we first uncovered show the Pixel 11 Pro Fold with what appears to be a MediaTek modem. Google is rumored to have switched from a Samsung Exynos modem to a MediaTek modem for Tensor G6.

This change could bring big improvements to connectivity on a Pixel series that has been plagued by spotty modems for years. It could also help with efficiency, overheating issues, and more.

Model-by-Model Breakdown: Price, RAM, Battery, and Colors

Additional specs in table format are below, with nothing looking out of the ordinary. If there is something slightly odd, it’s the suggestion from a leak that we may see RAM options depending on model or SKU.

A leak believes the Pixel 11 could get both 8GB and 12GB RAM configurations, while the Pro models could see both 12GB and 16GB RAM setups. We don’t know if that’s a RAM shortage move by Google, a country-specific thing, or something else. In comparison, the Pixel 10 had only 12GB RAM and the Pixel 10 Pro phones only had 16GB options.

If true, this could lead us to a situation where we have lower storage and RAM that keep entry points lower, followed by bigger storage options and more RAM with higher prices.

Camera Systems: What’s New, What’s Gone?

Google’s camera bars are the interesting piece of the Pixel hardware experience, and this year brings a mix of rumored sensor upgrades and feature retirements.

Goodbye, Temperature Sensor

First hinted at in CAD renders and given further weight by spec leaks, the rear-facing temperature sensor is dead. Google is dropping the sensor from the back of the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL models. While some users found it to be quite useful, Google could use that space for its new lighting system.

New “Pixel Glow” Lighting System

In place of old sensors, Google is introducing a brand-new hardware feature dubbed “Pixel Glow.” This is an integrated RGB LED lighting system that wraps entirely around the camera bar frame. It will serve as a customizable notification light and status indicator, flashing different color profiles depending on your alerts. There may also be an RGB light of some sort embedded within the camera bar itself, where the temperature sensor used to live. Think of it like a mini version of Nothing’s newest Glyph Matrix.

50MP Camera Codenames?

The actual camera hardware sensors are currently unknown outside of internal codenames that were shared. Leaked spec sheets point to names of chemosh, vesta, bastet, barghest, and chonky. While exact lens structures remain a mystery, early rumors point to the primary chemosh sensor utilizing an upgraded 50MP main module.

And that’s everything about the Pixel 11 series for now. We’ll update this with more concrete information as we approach launch in August.

UPDATE JULY 17 – Listings out of Amazon that weren’t meant to be found early gave us official images of each Pixel 11 series phone, some specs, storage and RAM configurations, and pricing.

Read the original post: Pixel 11 Series: Everything We Know About Google’s New Phones

For those who missed the news, OnePlus called it quits in the US without providing many details on why they would exit this market. We assume that sales were incredibly weak, since their phones aren’t sold through carriers and are no longer in the affordable range of flagship phones that once attracted customers to the brand.

Look, you can’t really compete in the US market at the high-end if you don’t sell to customers through their carrier. Carriers have locked down this industry for so long, thanks to “deals” and “free” phones that are handed out like candy, as long as you are willing to lock into a data plan and phone contract for 2 to 3 years. While it sounds stupid to do such a thing – commit to your wireless carrier for that long – it’s clearly working. People love the idea of cheap or free phones in exchange for an expensive phone plan, it seems.

With OnePlus now out of the game, that leaves Android fans with Samsung and Google phones to choose from, assuming you are into flagship phones. That’s depressing as hell, and I say that as someone who prefers the phones from these companies over others.

Fewer choices is never a good thing. For one, it truly brings Apple and the iPhone closer to the conversation, because why not consider an iPhone if your only other real options are Samsung or Google phones? Your friends probably have an iPhone, iMessage is always going to be that thing that will tempt you, and Apple’s phones are everywhere you look, with physical stores, a level of support you won’t get from those other two, and they live in an ecosystem of hardware that…just works.

A lack of competition reduces urgency too. If there was one thing OnePlus excelled at, it was at least trying to push new technology. From their incredible displays and performance to their early adoption fast charging tech and interest in bringing new battery technology that allowed for a 7300mAh setup in the OnePlus 15, OnePlus almost always gave us something. Google and Samsung rarely take risks or surprise us with new hardware ideas.

By no means am I telling you to avoid Samsung or Google phones, in case that wasn’t clear. It just feels so weird to think that the Android smartphone space, after all of those early years of weekly phone-after-phone in our hands, is now just this.

Thankfully, Samsung sells devices in all of the form factors at various price levels and continues to make quality hardware with software that is constantly improving at a mostly-rapid pace. Whether you want the best foldable on the planet, an “Ultra” do-it-all phone with an S Pen, or a somewhat-affordable flagship phone like the Galaxy S26 at under $1,000, you can’t go wrong.

And then there’s Google, with its wide range of Pixel devices that also come in various shapes and price points. Google still has the best software in the entire smartphone industry, top tier cameras, their hardware game continues to improve, and their update support is the best in the business.

For alternatives, we do have Nothing officially in the US space, thanks to a retail partnership with Best Buy. While Nothing doesn’t have a carrier presence (yet) or really play in the flagship space, their mid-range phones come close and are excellent devices. The Nothing Phone 4a Pro is a truly wonderful phone that is worth your consideration, especially at just $499.

Motorola is a company that makes phones and sells them in the US, but they aren’t serious and haven’t been in years. Their abysmal software support and commitments and questionable decisions are dealbreakers.

So we’re down to two – where does your future in Android go? Are Samsung and Google enough or is it time to switch sides?

The Nothing Ear (3a) are a stem-style wireless earbud, with a charging case and 4 color options of White, Black, Yellow, and Pink. These earbuds feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), a 12mm dynamic driver, bring LDAC high-res wireless certification, and support spacial audio and custom EQ settings.

These buds are rated at up to 10 hours of use with ANC off or 6 hours with it on. Thanks to the case, you can reach a total of 42 hours of use. The case charges via USB-C.

As for other features, you are looking at Bluetooth 6.0, 15M connection range, dual connection support, app connectivity on both iOS and Android (Google Fast Pair), IP54 water resistance, low-lag\low latency connections, and gesture controls with pinching. Nothing includes ear tips in sizes XS, S, M, and L.

I have a pair in house for testing and my first few listens are very positive. The vocals in songs like Future’s “Trench Court” hold up and separate surprisingly well with its constant vibrating bass, while there’s a clarity and crispness to Kid Cudi’s “REAL ONES NEVER DIE” that let you feel the emotion. They do fall a little flat with deeper bass drops on something like Joji’s “SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK,” although at $99, maybe that’s fine?

So far, though, a really solid set of $99 earbuds from Nothing. They look pretty sweet too.

It’s the latest in heavy-handed restructuring moves since new CEO Dan Schulman took over in October of last year. He previously sold off 179 corporate stores and let 13,000 people go within his first few months.

In Schulman’s opening note to Verizon employees on the day he took over, he promised to make Verizon a “simpler, leaner, and scrappier” company. The only way anyone should have interpreted those words was by assuming massive layoffs were on the way. Schulman delivered there.

This likely won’t be the end of these types of moves, as Schulman is obsessed with AI and the pain it will inflict on the world. Remember, Schulman previously shared his love for the worst parts of AI, by admitting that he’s had AI write poetry to send to his wife, recommends employees talk to their kids about AI while eating dinner, and that they should consider having AI write their own obituary.

He’s also predicted that we could see 20% to 30% unemployment in the next couple of years because of AI. He’s called that idea “authentic” and thinks other CEOs should be as open as he is about how awful AI will make our futures.

If there are ways for Schulman to keep cutting, he’ll find them, that seems clear.

Of the stores that have closed, Verizon did not say what would happen to the 2,500 retail employees impacted. However, reddit is filled with folks whose stores have closed. Maybe these indirect stores that are taking over will bring them on. One can hope.

But hey, they have that cheap new Simplicity plan.

This needs to change.

Google announced that Gemini in Google Search is getting access to newly connected apps this week. They highlight Instacart and YouTube Music, but in my mind, the huge news is the connection to Canva. Canva is an online-based graphic design platform. Before AI, it’s what most folks used to create event flyers.

This week, you can connect Gemini via AI Mode in Search to your Canva account, then task Gemini with something like, “Create a flyer for my pickleball themed birthday party in two weeks.” Working with Canva instead of the template that millions of flyers are now based on, Gemini will present a flyer that actually looks unique.

For personal account users in the Gemini app, this Canva ability has already existed since May. Here’s how to tie the two services together.

If you need to have more news, the YouTube Music connection is also neat. Gemini can now connect to YouTube Music and curate playlists for you. It’s not as exciting as the Canva news, but YouTube Music subscribers like myself might give it a shot.

Death to the AI flyer slop.

Through community posts on their awkwardly launched US-specific forum and the global forum, OnePlus announced a “change in direction” that will see OnePlus conclude all new product rollouts in North America and Europe.

OnePlus is done.

While they didn’t offer much reasoning for this change, it’s hard to look back at recent OnePlus launches in North America and call them successes. The brand lost that scrappy edge that gave it a name early on and seemed to fade in the eyes of smartphone owners over time, only finding a specific niche of consumer to continue buying their devices, as prices increased and the overall experience failed to pull everyone back.

OnePlus has committed to continuing to support devices that are owed updates, both security and OS upgrades. Unfortunately, that means a switch from OxygenOS to their global ColorOS software skin when they ship Android 17 in the coming months.

OnePlus has also confirmed that “customer service channels will remain open” and they’ll “continue in accordance” with warranty and support obligations.

This is rough news to hear, as OnePlus has made some really nice devices over the years. They gave us a choice in a US market that lacks many. We’re basically down to Samsung and Google at this point. That hurts.

Suitable for everyday usage, Android 17 QPR1 became platform stable with Beta 6. This new beta appears to be more of a bug fixing update, but we’re still rummaging to see if we can’t spot anything major. We also aren’t seeing any missing downloads for specific phones, so that’s also good. Downloads for all Pixels back to the Pixel 6 lineup are available.

The easiest route to get this update is through the Android Beta Program (sign-up). If you are into flashing images, there are OTA images available (here) too.

Top Issues fixed in Beta 7 (July 2026)

• Battery Share from Quick Settings failed to start charging or repeatedly displayed the charging animation. (Issue #476443126, Issue #477627747, Issue #480701245, Issue #484322291, Issue #488473799, Issue #501729379, Issue #500638463)
• Turning off Wi-Fi created an empty gap between the battery and mobile data icons in the Quick Settings status bar. (Issue #517178332)
• A crash in the Quick Settings font size controller that prevented users from adjusting their text size from the quick access panel. (Issue #531915405, Issue #530312544)

We’ll be on the lookout for new features.
