Google's Pixel 9 Pro Fold sets a new bar for foldable phones with its large tablet display and its close approximation of a regular phone when folded.

Google users with Pixel 8a and onwards can now monitor their phone’s battery capacity via the Settings app and then selecting Battery Information. Here, users can see how many times the battery has already been fully charged, when it was manufactured, and its date of first use.

The January update's build number is AP4A.250105.002 for most devices, with slight variations for specific regions like Telstra and EMEA, as reported by 9to5Google. It includes the Android security patch level dated Jan. 7, 2025.

Google’s budget-friendly Pixel 4a smartphone just received a software update on January 8. This one actually lowers the battery life.
