Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

I get a really annoying crackling issue on my Pixel Buds, it usually pops up when shutting the screen off, when I wake the phone back up the crackling stops.

I've got a pair of Pixel Buds A and while I haven't used them nearly as long as the Pro 2's recently, they don't exhibit the issue.

Start 2025 off on the right foot with January's Pixel update, available now.

Google's got a new update coming for the Pixel 4a that could have a negative impact on battery life. Luckily, Google's offering some generous compensation options.

In a support article about “Understanding how your Pixel battery works,” Google shares how many charge cycles to expect from your phone...

The ability to limit the charge that your Pixel has an issue; the 80% limit does not stay activated if your phone is powered off.

My Pixel 9 Pro XL started creaking since last week and seemingly gets worse. I can notice it especially when I squeeze the lower half of my phone. But in normal day to day use it happens mostly when getting my phone out of my pocket or even sometimes when using the fingerprint scanner.

Is this normal? Should I wait or file a warranty case?

Android 15 delivered the option to sync notification dismissals across Pixel devices, but only over Wi-Fi. That could soon change.

Whoever decided to use dark patterns at @googlepixel to trick users into activating backup on photos while just trying to browse their Pixel just added to my chaos pile today.

Oh, yeah, I turned off the backup feature a year ago when I decided to go crazy with videos and one little push of the backup button would shut down my quota instantly.

Hand phone to child to view photos. Miss them hitting the backup all button. Quota destroyed.

Google has relaunched its Pixel Referral Rewards program, allowing users to earn up to $500 in store credit for referring friends and family.

I'm currently on the market for a new phone and I see stores selling a Pixel 8 for $500.
It's on the higher end of what I want to pay, but I see it has extended support over the Pixel 7.
I also see the Pixel 8a is $400, which is a nicer price for me, but since my plan is to use the phone long term, I figure the mainline model has sturdier build quality. There is also the upcoming Pixel 9a for $500, if I'm willing to wait and get the cheaper model branch but with the most modern features.

Can someone with experience using these phones help me pick something? I've never owned a pixel and looking online it seems like they each have their own issues to contend with. But I like the custom rom support I see for these phones that would give it a far extended lifetime over most other brands out there.

EDIT (Dec24):
Thank you everyone for your opinions. I saw the support for the Pixel 7 and decided to buy one on swappa over the Pixel 8. And since support for the pixel 7 ends in less than 3 years, I'll probably install GrapheneOS right off the bat. I also did research on Sub-6 vs mmWave as I saw both models were offered and decided on Sub-6 as the more practical technology. Looking forward to this.

Google has adjusted how the Pixel can be customized for those with color blindness. The color correction tool lets you...

Just starting today, the news feed I get from swiping left from the home screen is blindingly white, and so is the search results page from the search bar at the bottom. But everything else, including even the search screen that comes to after clicking the search bar at the bottom (but not clicking "enter"), is correctly in dark mode.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea the solution?
