Welcome to episode 97 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Damien and Will are joined by Andrew Romero to talk through a couple of Pixel hardware leaks coming out of Android 17 Beta 4. First, they discuss the growing possibility of a Pixel Laptop and wonder what Google needs to do to succeed in an ever‑competitive space. Then they turn to “Pixel Glow,” a mysterious new notification‑light system seemingly on the way for Pixel 11.
