It's a big week in Android-land as the AF team and the rest of the tech industry descended on Mountain View, California to go to Google's headquarters for the keynote presentation and launch of the new Pixel phones, watches and earbuds, all wrapped up in a big Artificial Intelligence bow called Gemini. We truly are in the Gemini Era with this lineup of hardware designed to maximize the user benefit of the language models and tools developed by Google.
We took a little different approach this week as Jason Howell, Mishaal Rahman and Ron Richards got together pre-event to breakdown the devices and their details and then the guys were joined by Huyen Tue Dao at the event and we gathered to share our impressions of the event and the announcements. We hope you enjoy our coverage!
All details and specs for the Google Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, 9 Fold, Watch 3 and Buds Pro 2 are available at AndroidFaithful.com
