Google says the Pixel’s Soli radar and Motion Sense will return

Posted: 30 Sep 2020 05:37 PM PDT

Google's $799 Pixel 4 had built-in radar. The new $699 Pixel 5 does not — it ditches the sensor-laden forehead of its predecessor entirely in favor of thinner bezels and a hole-punch camera, like the $349 Pixel 4a before it. The result is more screen, but Google's "Motion Sense" gestures and its answer to Apple's Face ID are totally gone.

But Google hardware boss Rick Osterloh tells The Verge that the Project Soli radar and gestures will return. "They'll be used in the future," he says. They were just too expensive for the phone that Google wanted to build this time.

(He didn't say whether they'd appear in a new phone, specifically; a recent FCC filing suggests they might come to a new Nest thermostat as well.)

The just-announced Pixel 5 has somehow already been unboxed

Posted: 30 Sep 2020 05:36 PM PDT

The Pixel 5, Google's latest Android flagship, was just announced today, and someone on YouTube has already posted an unboxing video of the new device ahead of its release (via 9to5Google).

What's in the box is fairly standard — there's the phone itself, as well as a charger, a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a USB-C to USB-A converter. The YouTube user who has the phone, who goes by the name Sergiu, does power it on, giving us a look at the phone's 6-inch 2340 x 1080 OLED screen and 8-megapixel hole-punch selfie camera. Sergiu doesn't use the phone all that much in the video, though, sticking mostly to the phone's home screen.

Sergiu also zooms in on back of the Pixel 5, showing the phone's aluminum back, fingerprint sensor, and square...

Facebook will ban ads that wrongly claim election victory

Facebook will ban ads that wrongly claim victory in the US presidential race. The news comes a week after the company announced it would reject ads from Donald Trump or Joe Biden claiming a premature win on November 3rd.

The policy covers ads that claim legal forms of voting — like voting by mail — will corrupt the outcome of the election. It also bans ads that claim rampant voter fraud could alter the results of the election.

This is a real concern for the 2020 race. Due to mail-in voting, the electoral process is expected to take longer than in years past, and the official results likely won't be announced on November 3rd. Experts worry that because more Democrats are expected to vote by mail than Republicans, Trump could declare an...

One of Google Stadia’s most interesting features, Crowd Choice, is finally coming this week

Google has always wanted its cloud game-streaming service, Stadia, to change how YouTube streamers interact with their fans. Nearly ten months after release, Google is finally bringing its "Crowd Choice" feature to its first two games. Crowd Choice allows viewers to vote on, say, which team a streamer joins in the game, which piece of dialogue they pick, or other in-game choices the player might make. The streamer can ultimately decide if they want to follow the audience's suggestion or make their own choice.

On October 1st, Dead by Daylight will launch on Stadia Pro, and it will be the first game to integrate Crowd Choice. In Dead by Daylight, the feature gives the audience a chance to vote whether the streamer should be a "killer" who...

Google’s new ‘Hold for Me’ feature saves you from elevator music

Posted: 30 Sep 2020 02:42 PM PDT

Hold for Me

For many of us, calling a doctor's office, an insurance carrier, customer support, or indeed any kind of administrative office has become an exercise in frustration — especially these days, when increased demand and cuts in staffing have made phone waits interminable. Yes, you can simply use speakerphone to monitor the line, but do you really want to listen to that awful music for over an hour?

A new Android feature called Hold for Me, which Google just announced, may just be able to make those phone waits a bit more tolerable. Hold for Me is currently available as a preview feature in the US for Google's new Pixel 5 and Pixel 4A (5G) phones.

Here's how it works, according to Google: if you call a toll-free number and are put on hold,...

Here’s how the new Pixel 5 compares with the Pixel 4A 5G and Pixel 4A

Google's fall hardware event ended this afternoon after a breezy 30 minutes of rapid-fire product announcements, with the stars of the show being the new Pixel 5 and Pixel 4A with 5G. Google now has three primary smartphones; two midrange ones (one with 5G and one without) and one flagship. That's a refreshingly simple lineup, compared with some of the messier, more bloated offerings from competitors.

But that doesn't mean choosing between the devices is necessarily clear-cut. The 4A 5G is not just a 4A with a different modem; the two phones have some key hardware differences, making the Pixel 4A 5G more of a Pixel 5 alternative than a budget phone. The three devices, grouped together, hit price points of $349, $499, and $699, so...

Verizon has an exclusive Pixel 4A 5G that’s $100 more expensive

Verizon is getting an exclusive model of the Pixel 4A 5G: it comes in white, it supports Verizon-specific 5G bands, and it's $100 more expensive. Verizon has dubbed this model the "Google Pixel 4A 5G UW" to highlight its support for the carrier's "ultra wideband" 5G network.

If you're on any other carrier, you're not missing out. And if you're on Verizon, this is probably a worse option than buying a standard Pixel 4A 5G at the regular price of $499, rather than spending $599.99 on Verizon's model.

The issue here is Verizon's limited 5G network. Unlike AT&T and T-Mobile, Verizon's 5G network so far relies only on millimeter wave (mmWave) connections. Those connections are the fastest you can get...

Chromecast Ultra is dead, long live Chromecast Ultra (and this new Ethernet dongle)

Posted: 30 Sep 2020 01:17 PM PDT

Google's new $50 "Chromecast with Google TV" has supplanted the Chromecast Ultra in practically every way — so you probably won't be surprised to hear Google is getting rid of its original 4K streaming device. The Chromecast Ultra is now out of stock at every major US retailer, including the Google Store, where its product page redirects to the new Chromecast.

It's not formally "discontinued," mind you: Google says it will still be available at "select retailers," even though we're seeing no stock at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, The Home Depot, Staples, etc., and even though B&H Photo actually lists it as "discontinued" right now.

But there is still one way to buy one — because when Google announced its 2020 Chromecast, the new...

Google’s Recorder app is getting an audio editing feature

Posted: 30 Sep 2020 12:50 PM PDT

Google Recorder Google

At today's Google event, the company announced that its Recorder app, which is available for Pixel 2 or newer phones, is getting a nice update that should make it a lot easier to search through audio files. The update will allow you to select a snippet of audio from a recorded clip, which you can then either share or remove from the larger audio file.

Additionally, you can search for specific words in a recorded transcript and delete them. So if you're someone like me who tends to say "uh," "um," or any other crutch word during interviews, you can theoretically find and remove them with this new update.

According to Google, you'll be able to use this feature offline, in the same way its live English transcription function works without...

After lengthy delays, ULA’s most powerful rocket poised to launch classified spy satellite

Posted: 30 Sep 2020 12:05 PM PDT

After many weeks of delays due to faulty equipment and bad weather, the United Launch Alliance is set to launch its most powerful rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, lofting a classified spy satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office. The mission is finally ready to fly a full month after the rocket's first launch attempt, which was aborted just three seconds before liftoff.

The rocket going up on ULA's mission is the Delta IV Heavy, a giant vehicle that consists of three rocket cores strapped together to provide extra thrust. It's one of the most powerful rockets in the world, though it falls short of the power packed into SpaceX's Falcon Heavy. ULA doesn't fly the Delta IV Heavy very often, as it's an expensive vehicle to make,...
