Comment: Fewer leaks and far less hype — is that bad news for Google Pixel 4?
Last year’s Pixel 3 brought with it unequivocally one of the wildest phone leak seasons ever, but this year has been different.

It’s intriguing to say the least, but I’d argue that a second-gen Google Home would make even more sense for Soli…

It’s okay for Google to kill your favorite features — in fact, they must
Google is certainly on one end of a spectrum in its approach to app development. If another software maker is conservative and careful about the features they add to their apps and when, you could say Google is… the opposite. It’s long established that A/B testing is a deep part of the company’s culture, and its consumer-facing apps are no exception.
