New Daily Digest From CHROME UNBOXED

View this email in your browser I knew I wasn't the only one using Google Recorder for karaoke and rap lyrics Last week, I covered the new editing tools that Google Recorder was receiving on the web. The ability to splice and crop audio was really one of the primary features many people I spoke to said was missing, and the company finally added it. Sure, the tool is still fairly utilitarian, but that’s Google’s specialty. […] Read More Google News gets 'Following' page update for local stories, Material You widget redesign I have a love-hate relationship with Google News, but that relationship is understandable to an extent. It’s a beautiful app that’s minimal and informative, but at the same time, I don’t favor waking up to the worst kind of news I’ve ever read and  lacking features most other news apps have. However, such is the […] Read More ChromeOS 114 brings some new goodies but I'm here for the Emoji picker The latest ChromeOS release was a tad behind schedule this time around and while we weren’t expecting much in this update, there are some cool new features that may be of interest to you. As of today, most eligible devices should have received the update to ChromeOS 114. If you’re unsure if yours is on […] Read More Google Photos on the web gets a huge photo editing boost Google has just unpacked a whole case of good news specifically targeted towards those of us that love using Google Photos on the web. While the feature set for Photos on the web always lags behind what you see in the Android app (which is also available for Chromebooks, by the way), there’s something I […] Read More How to create a Gantt chart in Google Sheets with the new Smart Canvas Timeline view Are you tired of hearing me talk about Google’s new Smart Canvas features yet? Well, I like the sound of my own voice (or in this case, the sound of my fingers clicking and clacking on my keyboard), so I’m going to keep gushing about how great they are. Today, I’m going to show you […] Read More Now that I'm using Google Tasks a lot more, I wish it had a 'Today' view like its competitors Ever since Google nixed the Calendar reminders for Keep and Assistant, I’ve been a bit salty, but I’m quickly coming around to the idea of a combined task and reminder system with Google Tasks. Setting a deadline for a task is pretty much the same exact thing, after all. That being said, I’m still not […] Read More The versatile Lenovo Chromebook Flex 3i is already $70 off and that's a steal Looking for a late-model convertible Chromebook that won’t break the bank but also isn’t a piece of garbage? Today is your lucky day. Lenovo’s new Chromebook Flex 3i is a budget-friendly 2-in-1 that’s powered by Intel’s latest small-core processors. The Flex 3i features a crispy 16:10 12.2″ display that pumps out 300 nits of brightness […] Read More OnePlus may release a more-affordable Pixel Fold rival in August in the US As it currently stands here in mid-June 2023, we have basically no competition in the foldable phone market here in the US. While other markets have quite a few players in this space, we here in the States have one and only one option for a folding phone/tablet hybrid if you want to buy one […] Read More The Pixel 8 is getting an impressive camera upgrade We are rapidly approaching the official release date of Google’s highly-anticipated Pixel Fold smart phone. Exciting as that is, most consumers aren’t in the market for a $1,800 flexible handset, yet. No, more buyers are likely eyeing October and the release of Google’s upcoming Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro that will feature the next-gen […] Read More Just like that, the Pixel Watch SpO2 sensor is being enabled for some users One of the more curious omissions from the launch of the Pixel Watch last year was the lack of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) tracking. It wasn’t odd that they didn’t have it as a feature, per se; it was odd that the tools to measure it are on the Pixel Watch and Google simply wasn’t […] 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.
