There’s still no word on an official launch date, but a September reveal seems unlikely. A fresh leak from Jon Prosser over at FrontPageTech   suggests that the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro may not launch in September after all. According to the information obtained by the tipster, Google will open pre-orders for the Pixel 6 series on October 19. The phones would eventually go on sale and hit store shelves the following week, on October 28. Prosser claims that these details come from a few of his best industry sources. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the September 13 launch date recently tipped on Weibo is completely out of the question. The Pixel 5 was also announced in September last year. However, if the October 19 pre-order date is accurate, as Prosser insists, it could very well be the day Go...

Credit: Robert Triggs / Android Authority An Android loyalty survey points to only 18.3% of United States Android users being interested in the next iPhone. This number is actually down by a whopping 14.8% from this time last year. The lack of features Android users care about is cited as the main reason for the dismal interest. The next slate of iPhones — tentatively known as the iPhone 13 series — is coming up quickly, likely launching in September. As with every year, this gets some folks wondering: how many Android users are planning to jump ship? According to a new survey from SellCell , not too many. The used technology service asked over 5,000 Android users based in the United States if they were interested in the iPhone 13. A whopping 81.7% said “Nah.” See also:  The best Android phones you can get right now That leaves just 18.3% who are even considering ending their Android loyalty streak.

Credit: Hadlee Simons / Android Authority Smartphone screens have grown massively in size over the years, from ~4-inch displays in 2010 to nearly seven inches in 2021. The upside is that we’ve got plenty more screen area for games and movies, but the downside is that many feel they’ve become too big for comfortable use. The large screens mean that reaching the top half of the display is a difficult endeavor.
