The Pixel 11 series could be the first to use Samsung's latest display tech (www.androidauthority.com)
 

TL;DR

  • The Pixel 11 series will reportedly ship with Samsung’s latest M16 OLED display panel.

  • The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max may also feature the same panel.

  • Assuming release dates follow existing patterns, the Pixel 11 series should be available some weeks before the iPhone 18 series.

Nope, just seen an exact same reference on the Google Pixel subreddit. It's just old.

If normal people cared about privacy we wouldn't be in this situation to begin with and the world would look very different today.

I swear Lemmy users are as naive as I was at age 20.

Didn't Americans decide that dead kids in schools was an acceptable price for the right to own guns, specifically so you can overthrow your government when needed?

You guys aren't even striking yet. You're just gonna allow this to happen. You guys elected him again, after it became clear he was a paedophilic capitalist working for the elite. America is lost.

Safari seems snappier.

I'm surprised my Pixel 7 got another update so soon, given it went almost a whole quarter without updates.

AV1 is right there. One has to wonder why all the device manufacturers rushed to implement HEVC but allowed AV1 to dillydally.

I disagree, I think it's a distinctive design that until recently made it very obvious what brand it was.

Now other manufacturers have realised the extra space is beneficial for camera tech so they're copying the large bar, and just look at the back of the iPhone 17!

Google's February Android update confirms a big shift for older Pixels (www.androidcentral.com)
 

Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 devices seem to be now following a quarterly update schedule instead of monthly patches.

What you need to know

  • Google's February 2026 Pixel update is small, likely holding back major changes for the upcoming Android 16 QPR3 release.

  • The update skips Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series phones, hinting at a shift away from monthly updates for older devices.

  • Google says affected Pixel phones will remain security compliant, but offers little clarity on future update frequency.

Google not required to sell Chrome or Android, judge rules in antitrust case - live updates (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

Summary

  • A US judge has ruled that Google doesn't need to sell off its Android operating system or its Chrome browser in a monopoly case

  • However, the tech giant has been ordered to share data with competitors to help open up competition in online search

  • The judgment follows a finding that Google acted illegally to maintain a monopoly in online search

  • Google was sued by the US Department of Justice in 2020 over its control of about 90% of the online search market

  • Prosecutors accused Google of spending billions of dollars annually to Apple, Samsung, Mozilla and others to be pre-installed as the default search engine

  • The US said Google typically pays more than $10bn (£7.8bn) a year for that privilege

Looks like the designs of the Pixel 10 series has leaked. Pretty much identical to the Pixel 9 series, unsurprisingly.
