I want to love the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, but Google won’t let me

Pixel 7 owners can try Google’s new Clear Calling feature in beta
One of the Pixel 7 family’s signature software features is available to try if you’re willing to live on the bleeding edge. Android Policereports Google has shared a third beta for Android 13’s first Quarterly Platform Release (QPR1) that adds Clear Calling for the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. Enable it in the sound settings and AI will eliminate background noise on the other end of cellular calls while boosting voices. You might not have to ask someone to repeat themselves when traffic sounds drown them out.
Google notes that Clear Calling availability depends on your cellular and WiFi connections, and that the company doesn’t collect any call content. The beta also adds a toggle for voice calls over 5G and a few cosmetic interface tweaks.
You’ll have to wait considerably longer if you’d rather not beta-test a patch. The completed QPR1 release isn’t expected until December. You’ll have something to look forward to then whether or not you’re a tester, though. 9to5Googlenoticed that the Pixel 7’s free lifetime Google One VPN will be available that same month, so you’ll have an easy way to secure your mobile internet access.
There’s no mention of if or when Clear Calling will come to non-Google devices. Google sometimes makes Pixel-first features available elsewhere after a delay, but others tend to remain exclusive. You may have to sit on the sidelines if you use a third-party Android device.

Engadget Podcast: The Pixel 7 and Google’s new family of devices
This week, Cherlynn, Devindra and Engadget’s Sam Rutherford dive into everything we learned at Google’s Pixel 7 event. Sure, it’s nice to have new phones, but it’s even nicer to see Google developing a cohesive design for all of its new devices. The Pixel Watch actually looks cool! And while we were ready to knock the (way too late) Pixel Tablet, its speaker base seems genuinely useful. Google may have finally figured out how to combine its software and AI smarts with well-designed hardware.

How to watch Google’s Pixel 7 and Pixel Watch event on October 6
Google is ushering in the fall tech season this year with an event to show off the Pixel 7 lineup and the new Pixel Watch. Here’s how to tune in.

Google delivers the Pixel 4 and 4 XL’s last guaranteed update
If you've been holding on to a Pixel 4 for the past three years, you'll have to get used to going without OS upgrades. Android Policenotes that, as planned, Google has released its last guaranteed software update for the Pixel 4 and 4 XL. They just include the usual round of minor bug fixes and security patches, but you can't count on anything beyond this. While Google is known to provide one last update as a sendoff, it's not clear when (or if) that's coming.
Some Pixel 4 family members are still covered. The Pixel 4a is slated to receive regular version and security updates until August 2023, while the 4a 5G is safe until November that year. And you can rest easier if you're a Pixel 6 owner. That device line is Google's first to get five promised years of security updates, so it shouldn't lose out before fall 2026.
Your Pixel 4 won't immediately become obsolete, of course. Updates to Google Play Services and apps should keep the Android flagship useful for a while yet, and Google may rush out emergency patches for significant security flaws. Even so, you'll want to consider a new phone if you insist on a consistent update stream. Google may not have timed this week's Pixel 7 launch to catch device upgraders, but the debut is certainly convenient.
This Google Pixel 7 price leak is bad news for the iPhone 14
A recent leak has shown off the prices for the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, and they’re far cheaper than the recently launched iPhone 14 and 14 Pro.

Google’s Pixel 6a is cheaper than ever right now
The Pixel 7 is being unveiled this week, but if you're looking for a new but more budget focused phone, Amazon has an excellent deal on the Pixel 6a. You pick one up at just $ 349 for a savings of $ 100 (22 percent off) — $ 21 cheaper than the lowest price to date. That's a significant savings on a smartphone that only came out a couple of months ago.
Buy Pixel 6a at Amazon – $ 349
If you're in the market for a mid-range smartphone, the Pixel 6a is a top pick. It offers the same Tensor chip as the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, while giving you the purest Android experience possible. At the same time, you get excellent camera quality for the price, thanks to the two 12-megapixel rear cameras and 8-MP front sensor delivering bright, colorful pictures and video. It also comes with a distinctive design, sharp 6.1-inch OLED screen covered with Gorilla Glass 3, long-lasting battery, IP67 water/dust protection and more.
You don't get everything available in the flagships, of course. The 60Hz refresh rate isn't as smooth as the higher-end Pixels or Samsung's A53. Storage is limited to 128GB, there's no wireless charging and Google dropped the headphone jack we loved on the Pixel 5a — so you'll need a dongle for wired audio. Still, at this new low price, there aren't many other phones that can match it.
