Google has a bunch of new phones, watches and accessories. The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro were leaked heavily, but now we have official specs. They've got a "Tensor G3" custom SoC that allows Google to promise up to 7 years of firmware and security updates - one of the major gripes from nerds about Android phones. The other unexpected feature is a sensor that can "scan objects like beverages and surfaces to read their temperature" and Google is "applying to the FDA to allow its use for body temperature sensing". There's a new Pixel Watch 2 that's got more battery life, a faster SoC, better sensors and WearOS 4. Finally, an update to the Pixel Buds Pro that adds "Bluetooth Super Wideband" and "Google's Clear Calling feature" for better call quality. Always On has pricing and release dates for the new Google stuff. For existing Pixel users, Android 14 is out now.
