Should Google give the Pixel 7 Pro to Maps local guides?
I’ve been an avid Google Maps user for years, I leave reviews and share my photography. I have over 1M photo views and am a local guide level 7. This got me thinking. Why aren’t Google giving out a Pixel 7 or 7 Pro to local guides with large photo view counts? It feels good…

Is the Google Pixel 7 Pro too heavy?
With the impending release of the Google Pixel 7 Pro I’ve been more and more interested in checking one out, especially to see what that camera looks like. On checking the details of dimensions it sit’s somewhere similar to the iPhone 14 Pro Max but a bit lighter. At 212g it’s not as heavy as…

Order a Google Pixel 7 Pro and get a free Pixel Watch
This is a great deal if you are in the market for a Pixel 7 Pro. Having been on Android this week for a bit I feel that there’s too much friction in place for me to switch but a Pixel 7 Pro + that rounded Pixel Watch look amazing design wise. (if anyone happens…

Google Pixel Watch vs Apple Watch
The rumours were true and yesterday Google officially announced the Pixel Watch. To me it looks nice, kind of like a round Apple Watch. In fact if Apple changed the design of the current square Watch this is what I’d imagine it would look like. As someone that loves mechanical watches I find the current…

How to watch Google I/O 2022
Even though I focus mainly on Apple stuff I’m always looking over at Android with interest. I also look forward to I/O, their WWDC. I do believe that you use the platform that works for you and you shouldn’t be completely loyal to one company. As a tech enthusiast I think it’s important to know…

The Google Pixel 6 isn’t £349 cheaper
Giving away a pair of £349 Bose headphones with Pixel 6 and Pro purchases is a great deal but only if you’re in the market already for a pair of Bose headphones. I’ve been looking at over the ear headphones and no way I’m spending over £500 on Apple’s overpriced ones. This was a reason…

I gave up trying to buy a Pixel 6 (a less than ideal launch from Google)
Last night I was really excited to give the new Google Pixel 6 Pro a go and put in an order. I’ve got a really old android phone and wanted to update to the latest Pixel but Google absolutely fell on it’s backside on this launch. You’d think a cloud company like Google could stay…

The YouTube kids app on iOS isn’t good for kids
You probably know how I feel about YouTube if you’ve followed me enough. I feel it’s done more damage to our attention spans than any other platform. I also feel it’s rewarding those that spread negativity and misinformation by biasing it’s algorithms towards click bait and the worst possible thumbnails. They (like Facebook) only care…

Thoughts on Android 12
I watched most of Google I/O yesterday and in particular the bit I was looking most forward to was Android 12. As someone that has dabbled with Android in the past I am always curios to see what’s happening and was hoping it got a bit of a refresh. Not only is is good to…

How to free up space on your iPhone with Google Photos
As part of my cutting back on my monthly outgoings and also looking at Apple alternatives I got into using Google Photos. This took my monthly £6.99 icloud fee down to 0.79p and still backed up all of my photos and videos in high quality. The first thing to call out here is that whilst…

Google launches the Pixel 5
Link I don’t have the disposable income to get this but if I did then I probably would. I love the colour, design and position of the finger print reader. I wish Apple brought some fun back into the design of the iPhone. It’s so stark and professional at a time when I want some…

What time is the Google Pixel 5 event in the UK?
There’s a Google event today and I’m actually looking forward to a couple of different things, the Pixel 5 and any updates to the Nest WiFi (I really need to get one and want a discount on the existing one). For us in the UK it’s going to be here at 6pm.

Using Google apps on the iPhone
I’m really experimenting with my setup at the moment and with me losing some faith in iCloud I’m making use of the Google Drive space I got for free to help me save some money. Now I’m in a different position work and money wise I’m really looking at using free services and Apple services…

Google Pixel 4 hands on
I was out and about at the Mall and to my surprise a store had the Pixel 4 out and on display. I immediately went over to it and had some quick hands on time, didn’t buy one (keeping my fingers crossed for a review unit… I can dream I guess). The first thing that…

Stopping my use of Google services
I’ve been thinking a lot about my data, where it’s sat and which companies I trust or more importantly line up with my morals. Google is one I’ve wrestled with for a while but I’ve decided to delete my account over the next few months. I’ve stopped checking my gmail and signed out of YouTube…
