Google announced its new Pixel hardware at the top of the month, releasing it the very next week to eager consumers. While the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro have received favorable reviews, the Pixel Watch is a bit of a mixed bag, with a majority of reviews stating that the battery life is, well, to be frank, terrible. So if Google is rating the watch to last up to 24 hours, you kind of start to wonder, how is it achieving these numbers?

October 26, 2012 marked a monumental date for Microsoft. When it came to Windows, everything changed in a way that we're still feeling the ramifications of today.

Xiaomi typically debuts its latest flagship smartphone lineup in China shortly after Qualcomm announces its latest flagship SoC at its annual Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii. Since Qualcomm has already confirmed that it will host this year's Snapdragon Summit earlier than usual, we expect Xiaomi to announce the Xiaomi 13 lineup towards the end of next month or early in December. Although Xiaomi has not shared any details about the lineup, a new leak has highlighted the hardware specifications of the upcoming Xiaomi 13 Pro.
Over the last few weeks, several manufacturers have released the first stable Android 13 update for their flagship devices.

Samsung followed suit with the first stable One UI 5 update for the Galaxy S22 series earlier this month. Now, Realme is joining the fray with the first stable Realme UI 3.0 update based on Android 13 for the Realme GT 2 Pro.
If the Google Pixel phones are meant to be (or at least trying to be) Android's answer to the iPhone, then the Google Pixel Watch is clearly Google's attempt at making an Apple Watch equivalent -- something that pairs and works seamlessly with Google/Android products.
