Leaks point to a new direction. Yesterday the internet was abuzz with leaked renders of what is allegedly a radical new design direction from Google for its forthcoming Pixel 6 smartphones. According to the images shared by Jon Prosser , it appears that we're getting somewhat of a return to the two-toned rear panels that we had with the first three generations of Pixel phones, along with a fairly prominent and redesigned camera bump on the back. Not only that but there are also indications that we will see two Pixel 6 models, including a regular and a "Pro" model, which will supposedly bring back the larger sized phones we used to see in the Pixel XL variants. New designs in what has been one the most popular and best Android phones are sure to be polarizing, but I happen to really like what I see in these leaked renders. What about you? What do you think about the Pixel 6 design leaks? Source: androidcentral

Foldables have recently become big in 2021. Well, not that big, but bigger and more viable than ever before. Time will tell whether they replace today's accepted form factors at large or whether they become something like convertible laptops which complement but do not supersede standard (and often-cheaper) designs. That being said, the growth of foldables has helped rejuvenate a couple of form factors that have either grown stale or are just flat-out obsolete. Want a tablet-lite for your Westworld fantasy? You can have one with the Galaxy Z Fold 2 . Want a clamshell so you can flick your phone closed aggressively after your 100th spam call? There's a RAZR for that. Want a shuriken or a scroll so you can be a modern ninja? Perhaps LG could have helped you out with the Wing or Rollable (RIP). Want something that flips and rolls? TCL has your fantasies covered . Foldables and non-traditional form factors are the future of mobile computing, and that future is fluid and

As a Chromebook lover, even I have to admit the apps here need work. The Google Play Store came to Chromebooks in 2016, and with it came access to millions of Android apps and games. Since then, we've seen Google tout Android app support as a major feature when launching the best Chromebooks , even as it keeps trying to slowly, quietly kill off Chrome apps . Google's also been pushing Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) over the last year, with popular apps like Twitter and YouTube TV swapping over to offer the same features and layout as a Chrome tab while also giving you a more immersive and natural look. This has combined with the general lackadaisical approach to apps for Android tablets over the last several years have left Chromebooks with a bit of a minefield. If you download and install an app from Google Play, your app might be a good one, but it's much more likely to be a super-sized phone app or an app that leaves black bars on most of the screen. And given that
