Google's Black Friday deal slashes $250 off the Pixel 4, 4 XL

Google just launched the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL last month, but now might be the best time to get one. As part of its Black Friday sale, the company offers the flagship phones at $250 off its original retail price. This means you can get the Pixel 4 64GB for $749 instead of $999; the Pixel 4 128GB for $879 instead of $1,129; the Pixel 4 XL for $879 instead of $1,129; and the Pixel 4 XL for $1,009 instead of $1,259.

The Pixel 4 series runs on Android 10 with 6GB of RAM, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor. This is the first Pixel to bring a dual-camera setup to the series. It also introduces the gesture-based Motion Sense.

Some Google Stadia users get to use old Chromecast Ultras to play

At launch, you can only play Google Stadia on TV by using the Chromecast Ultra included in the Founders and Premiere Edition bundles. But some users who already have Chromecast Ultras have been able to stream games through a firmware update. Google had plans to update older Chromecast Ultra models, but they haven't given a schedule for its release. 

According to a Reddit thread, some users tried heading into the Settings and turning on the Preview Program and then rebooting the Chromecast to get the firmware update and play games. Google confirmed on Thursday that it will begin shipping early next week. The manual firmware update could be a workaround for those who got the access codes but don't have their bundles yet.
