    Exclusive: Google Pixel 9 series set for sweeping camera improvements
  • To be honest, I'm actually a little disappointed they didn’t opt to include the thermometer in the upcoming Pixel Fold 2. Especially, since it’s going to be branded as the 9 Pro Fold.

  • Wear OS 5 prepares to add support for UWB ahead of Pixel Watch 3 launch
  • Yes, all pro models (plus the Fold) from the Pixel 6 series onwards have UWB support. And at least on my Fold, can be toggled on and off under "Connection preferences". However, I don't believe there is currently any system feature that actually utilizes it yet.
