Though we already have a fairly good idea of what Google plans to announce on Aug. 20, there are a few things I want on the agenda, starting with a smartphone that can take a beating.

Google could've solved this trust issue by being more transparent instead of trying to sweep it all under the rug.

The Pixel 9a is IP68-rated for dust and water-resistance, adding some peace of mind. Any quality smartphone still needs an excellent screen, and the Pixel 9a delivers. Its 6.3-inch Actua display is bright and saturated, and you’ll enjoy playing games and watching movies on it.

We're getting very close to the launch of the Google Pixel 10 Pro, and it looks, well, boring. But I'm still buying it, and here's why.

This latest leak aligns with another leak we saw last month, which showed the Pixel 10 what appears to be a wireless charging puck. As shown by NieuweMobiel, the new Pixel 10 cases could come in blue, black, green, and light blue, while the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL could have gray, green, and white options.

UFS 4.0 storage will be included inside the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and probably other Pixel 10 phones too, at least the 'Pro' ones.
