Google's Pixel Buds Pro adds Active Noise Cancellation, multipoint Bluetooth Connection

Google wants to offer an alternative to Apple AirPods Pro for Android. The new Pixel Buds Pro bring active noise cancellation to the Pixel Buds line. They use custom speakers paired with a custom six-core audio chip to help with noise cancellation. They also have built-in sensors to measure the pressure inside the ear canal. These in-ears are designed to sit deeper into your canal. Google's SilentSeal tech is designed to relieve any stress that might cause. It is meant to block out external noise while avoiding the feeling of being plugged up.

The Pixel Buds Pro also support a multipoint Bluetooth connection, allowing you to automatically swap between two devices, like phones and a computer. And multipoint on these earbuds will support any device, even iOS devices. Yes, it will work with iOS, but you won't get the Pixel Buds app for adjusting settings or EQ.

Google teases Pixel 7 series at I/O 2022

Google didn't want leaks to be your first look at its upcoming flagship. At its I/O developer conference, the company chose to tease the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. It doesn't look like the design has changed too drastically from the Pixel 6 series. But it does tweak the camera cut out a bit with an aluminum bar that flows into the side rails. The phones look like they no longer have that two-tone colour effect either. And sadly, we're not seeing the "Kinda Coral" option.

Based on the renders, the Pixel 7 Pro gets a triple rear camera system like the 6 Pro, while the Pixel 7 mimics the Pixel 6 with two cameras. We expect the cameras to stick to the traditional wide/ultra-wide/telephoto configuration. It will take a while for the Pixel 7 series to come out, though. The new devices are expected to debut in October when Android 13 gets officially released.
