New Daily Digest From CHROME UNBOXED

View this email in your browser Google Play Books is getting its fifth logo redesign in just over a decade In contrast to Coca Cola’s classic design, many tech giants, including Google, often change logos mure more frequently. Over the past decade, Google’s app logos have undergone several transformations, especially as it’s has implemented flat design and Material You. Sadly, many of them use a wacky four color palette that makes it near impossible to […] Read More Yet another new Dell Chromebook emerges from the shadows Dell seems to be content staying out of the consumer Chromebook market. A fact that seems very odd to me given the recent expansion of premium consumer-facing devices from nearly every major OEM out there. I say nearly because no one appears to know what’s going on with Samsung but that’s another story. That said, […] Read More A new entry-level Chromebook tablet is on the way with the Kompanio 520 inside In all of our excitement surrounding ‘Geralt’ – the MediaTek MT8188-based Chromebook tablet development board – I completely missed the beginnings of yet another tablet-based ChromeOS device right under my nose. Code named ‘Starmie’, this new Chromebook development board is clearly a detachable, is coming with MediaTek’s newer entry-level Kompanio 520 inside, and from the […] Read More Stadia Exclusive game 'Gylt' is getting a second lease on life with upcoming Steam release A handful of games that launched on Google’s now defunct Stadia cloud gaming platform (rest in peace) were unfortunate enough to never again see the light of day once it shut down. However, for a select few, they’re getting a new lease on life in other places. Today, a Steam listing for the Stadia exclusive […] Read More Top 5 Chromebook deals of the week It’s I/O week and while we’re focused on Google’s next Pixel phone lineup, I wouldn’t want you to miss out on the best Chromebook deals of the week. This week, there are some oldies but goodies and a new kid on the block. All of which offer up some serious savings and will get you […] Read More Finally, WhatsApp is on the way for WearOS watches like the Pixel Watch Of all the aggravations that I have with any smartwatch I’ve used, the lacking presence of WhatsApp on my wrist is chief among my complaints. Yes, I can get WhatsApp notifications on WearOS as long as my phone is near, but the minute Bluetooth is off or my phone isn’t within range, those notifications are […] Read More Google TV is getting a redesign for its 'Apps only' mode Not everyone is interested in all of the suggestion tiles and recommendations that Google TV provides, especially as it’s become increasingly more spammy and full of advertisements, even for physical products. Under these circumstances, many will just enable ‘Apps only’ mode to cut the clutter. This has been around for a few years now, and […] Read More Pixel Buds Pro are discounted ahead of new Pixel phone announcements this week As we anticipate the full announcements of a lot of new Pixel-branded hardware in just two days from now, it looks like Google is doing a bit of pre-event build up as we head into Google I/O 2023. The Pixel Watch already hit a solid sale price this weekend, and now the Pixel Buds Pro […] Read More Acer's powerful Chromebook Spin 714 is a whopping $200 off There’s no denying that Acer knows ChromeOS. For years, the PC giant has been producing some of the best devices on the market and the company’s Chromebook resume is one of the largest of any OEM. For the past few years, Acer has offered what I consider one of the best consumer flagship Chromebooks in […] Read More This is the Google Pixel Camera feature I miss most since moving to Samsung I’ve been rocking the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra for a few months at this point and I largely don’t miss my Pixel 7 Pro on a daily basis.

And as I’ve said before, smartphones […] Read More Join our Patreon community and get access to things like behind-the-scenes footage, early access to videos, private Discord server access, an ad-free experience on the mobile and desktop versions of the website, your name listed on all our YouTube videos, and monthly live stream Q&A.
