What’s happened? Google has a major launch event coming up on August 20, and it’s already confirmed in its media invite that we’ll see “Pixel phones, watches, buds, and more.” And information on what to expect from the Made by Google event continues to flow, with the latest leak seemingly showing us all the devices.

Why should I care? Google’s Pixel series of smartphones are one of the most important flagship offerings, going toe-to-toe with Apple’s iPhones and Samsung’s Galaxy devices. While the Pixel phones don’t sell in the same volumes as iPhone and Galaxy S handsets, they are an important window into Google’s software features, and set the tone for Android devices over the next 12 months.

  • Pixel phones are a showcase for Android and Gemini, allowing Google to show the world what its platform and AI can do.
  • They will give us a window into Google’s latest software and AI features, and set the tone for Android for the next 12 months.

Okay, what’s next? We’re just over three weeks away from the Pixel 10 launch event when we’ll learn exactly what Google has in store for us, and whether these plentiful leaks are accurate.

  • Google will be keen to make a splash as it’s likely Apple will swoop in to steal the limelight just a few weeks later with the iPhone 17 launch.
  • Apple’s launch might include the hotly anticipated iPhone Air to challenge the Galaxy S25 Edge, a fight Google isn’t excepted to join this year.

Snapchat is already packed with little symbols that can be weirdly hard to decode. You have streaks, emojis, badges, scores, Best Friends, and if you use Snapchat Plus, a tiny solar system that shows where you sit in someone’s closest-friends list.

The feature is called Friend Solar System, though most people just call it Snapchat Planets. It takes your position in a friend’s Snapchat orbit and turns it into a planet. From Mercury to Neptune, these celestial bodies signify how close a person is to you.

WhatsApp Web

As one of the most popular messaging services, you’ve already heard of WhatsApp. From its humble beginnings in 2009—two years before Apple introduced iMessage—to its acquisition by Facebook (now Meta) in 2014, WhatsApp has become the dominant messaging platform around the globe.

There's no shortage of messaging apps out there. The past decade has given us more options than we know what to do with, largely because smartphones demanded something better than plain old SMS.
