Hung Up on More Google Pixel Hardware

Google put us through a ton this week: the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, the Pixel Watch 4, and the Pixel Buds 2a. You can read the Android Faithful take on most of these new gadgets at the links embedded, though they're also conveniently linked on the front page of this very website!

We hope to get some hands-on, long-term testing with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold in the near future, especially after how much the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 impressed over the summer. For now, here's what a few other people are saying about Google's latest generation foldable smartphone:

• Ars Technica called the Pixel 10 Pro Fold an iteratively good design
• Wired says the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is "fun to use"
• Android Authority liked the hardware, but questioned whether the camera system was enough
• ZDNet reminds us that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is still thinner and, actually, more AI refined

💚This week on Android Faithful

Mishaal, Jason, and Ron lead the show, first by reminding you all to watch our exclusive interview with Anish Katukaran, Chief Product Officer of Google Home, then by telling the harrowing tale of how manufacturers are about to cut us off from an excess of USB-C cables. Plus, your reactions to Gemini finally coming to the Google Home.
