The display on the Pixel Watch 3 has seen a significant upgrade, now offering peak brightness of 2,000 nits—double that of last year’s model.

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2: Specifications, Features
The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are driven by the new Tensor A1 chip, which Google says has allowed them to reduce the size of the earbuds by 27 per cent, making them lighter while boosting performance and battery life. The Tensor A1 chip is designed to process audio at a speed 90 times faster than sound, doubling the effectiveness of noise cancellation. The earbuds also feature Gemini for enhanced functionality.
Equipped with Silent Seal 2.0, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 promise twice the active noise cancellation compared to their predecessors. They also include a twist-to-adjust stabiliser for a more secure fit. Additionally, these earbuds use AI to automatically pause music when you start speaking or receive a call, shifting to transparency mode, and then returning to the preset mode when the conversation ends. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 also supports Find My Device, clear calling, and spatial audio.
With 11mm drivers, the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 deliver up to 30 hours of playtime with the case and up to eight hours with active noise cancellation enabled.
