Google’s Meet app is getting a few more features designed for calls.

Google has historically announced its new Android hardware in October, even if it didn't have much new to show. For instance, in 2020 it released the solitary Pixel 5, a basic mid-range phone—but 2024 is the polar opposite. Google has moved up its Pixel unveiling, and the company has a cornucopia of new hardware announcements. There are not one, not two, not three, but four new Pixel phones coming, plus earbuds and a smartwatch. It's a good time to be a Pixel fan.
