‘Oh So Orange’ Pixel 4 spotted at a Variety event

Google's not really trying to hide it at this point. Reddit users spotted the new Oh So Orange colour variant of the Google Pixel 4 at the Variety "Power of Women" event, which was sponsored by the Google Pixel 4. It's seen in the hands of Awkwafina as she takes a photo with Ali Wong at the event's red carpet. It makes sense for celebrities and influencers to get first dibs on the device, so seeing it in the hands of Awkwafina isn't that surprising (especially since she's already done an ad with 2 Chainz for the Pixel 3a). The Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL are officially going to launch tomorrow, at this point we're not sure what else about it will surprise us

Nomad Base Station Pro wants to offer you what Apple AirPower couldn't

Apple might have given up on it, but other companies are taking a stab at creating multi-device wireless chargers. Nomad is giving us a peek at a new charger that it's calling the Base Station Pro. The premise is it can charge devices wirelessly in any layout. The smartphone accessory maker partnered with Aira to develop the technology it's calling "FreePower." Using an 18-coil matrix, it allows you to place your phone or other accessories that charge wirelessly on the pad, and it'll locate your device and direct power there. According to Nomad, the Base Station Pro can charge three devices simultaneously. Nomad hasn't released the availability or price for the device yet. But you can sign up for updates on its website.

Huawei starts rolling out Android 10-based EMUI 10 to the Mate 20 Pro

While the new Huawei Mate 30 series doesn't come with Google services due to the company's ban from the US, its older models are still getting updated. Last year's end of the year flagship, Mate 20 Pro, is starting to get EMUI 10, which is based on Android 10. The said handset was expected to get the beta version of EMUI 10 in late September, so it makes sense that a stable version of the operating system is coming out now. However, the rollout seems to be in stages, so it hasn't shown up for users here yet. You should keep your eye out for the update to make its way to you soon, though. It's sized at 4.4GB with the build number "10.0.0.136."

PC Canada reportedly leaks pricing for Nest Wifi, Nest Hub Max, Nest Mini

On top of Best Buy Canada's leak of the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, PC Canada may have possibly leaked the pricing for the rumoured Nest Wifi device launching alongside the phones. This "new Google Wifi" is being referred to as "Mistral," and it shows up like that on the retailer's site with the retail price of $192.99. The two-pack version (the primary router and smaller beacons, we presume) costing $292.99, while the three-pack variant goes for $384.99.

But that doesn't seem to be the only Made by Google device coming to Canada, a device codenamed "Newman" was also seen on the listing. This refers to the Nest Hub Max smart display. Its pricing is set at $270.99.
