Google extends its voluntary 'return to office' policy until January 2022

Hey, Google. Remind me to go back to the office in January What you need to know Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed that it has extended its current in-office policy until January 10, 2022. This is due to the rising cases of the COVID-19 Delta variant. Employees are also being given two "global reset days" in the upcoming quarter. In a blog post, Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed its plans for employees to return to its offices. Pichai shared that staff won't be required to return until January 10, 2022, as the Delta variant of COVID-19 is forcing other companies to hit pause on resuming work-life as normal.

These are the best Android phones you can buy right now

If you want to get your hands on the best Android phone in 2021, the Samsung Galaxy S21 is the one for you.

There are many contenders for the best Android phones, but we think the Samsung Galaxy S21 is the best option for most people. Admittedly, the S21 isn't the most premium Android phone you can buy in 2021 (that honor would probably go to the Galaxy S21 Ultra or Galaxy Z Fold 3). Still, when looking at the specs and features it offers for the price, it's easily the best phone that most people should buy. The best part is that the Galaxy S21 costs less than its predecessor, making it an even mo

Google officially announced the Pixel 6! Here's everything we know

Here's what Google has in store for its sixth Pixel. For the sixth straight year, we're getting a new Pixel. But the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are generating hype and speculation we haven't seen since the original Pixel launch. Whether it's because of the unique new design, the Google-made Tensor chipset, the exclusive Android 12 features like Dynamic colors for the new Material You UI, or the more powerful specs than the mid-range Pixel 5, the 2021 Pixels are set to make a big splash. Google gave us the first official peek at the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro on August 2 after months of rumors, giving us our first proper glimpse of the phone outside of leaks. But Google won't unveil the release date, price, or full specs until its full, proper announcement this fall, meaning there's still plenty to speculate about. From price, specs, availability, and more, here's everything we know (or suspect) so far about the Google Pixel 6. Half the price, availa
