Stop holding your breath, ye patient waiters for the Google Pixel. It’s finally back in stock. The tech giant either underestimated how popular their first smartphones would be or really knows how to get us wanting more, as both the Pixel and Pixel XL quickly went out of stock after customers just about fell over themselves to get their hands on a handset. But now, it looks as though almost every model of the smartphone is back in stock on the Google Store.

If you’re a Canadian fan of the Google phone, we have even more news for you — the “Really Blue” Google Pixel, the blue variant of the handset, will soon be available in Canada exclusively through Rogers. On Monday, the Canadian carrier and Google co-announced that the azure version of the phone (which has been in seriously high demand) will be making its way up north. While we are still unsure as to what price and dates of availability will be, we will be sure to update you as we learn more.

In the meantime, if you have been dying to get a Pixel, they are more available than they have been in awhile on the Pixel page on the Google Store right now. We ought to point out that you can actually buy a Pixel XL whenever you want on Amazon with free Prime shipping, though you will have to really want it in order to buy it this way. That is because it is more expensive through Amazon, as it helps you skip the wait.

If you do buy from the Google Store, pricing will begin at $649, and you will probably want to move quickly, as you never know how long availability may last.

Google has no idea what it’s doing with the Pixel Tablet
The back of the Google Pixel Tablet.

With its latest move to try and encourage you to buy a Pixel Tablet, Google has unfortunately indicated it still has no idea what to do with its most recent return to tablets.

Its big plan to sell more tablets is to take away the best thing about them, which then gives it an excuse to charge a bit less. Reducing the price is a good thing, but in the case of the Pixel Tablet and Google's solution, there’s sadly no longer any reason to buy it at all.

A week ahead of its annual developers' conference, Google has dropped a new budget phone in its Pixel-A series. The Google Pixel 8a retains the line’s signature look with a horizontal camera island at the back, but serves it in a package that embraces rounded corners and also happens to be fractionally smaller and lighter

The most meaningful changes are reserved for the display, silicon, and battery. The OLED screen’s size remains the same at 6.1 inches with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. However, the refresh rate has been increased to 120Hz, up from the Google Pixel 7a's 90Hz display. This HDR-ready panel offers a peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits and also features a fingerprint sensor underneath.
