The Google cemetery is strewn with beloved hardware and software, but the premature deaths of products are certainly not exclusive to the research giant of View Mountain. This week, it seemed that all large technological companies had a blow on nostalgia, the devices and services are killed on the left and right by the hands of Amazon, Google and HP.
The week in mobile was however more than a bunch of necrologies. Nothing has a pair of phones in the pipeline, and they were almost revealed by an assault of leaks. One of their biggest competitors, Pixel 9a, also made the headlines, and the Google phone coming after that was even in the news.

RIP Chromecast
Google has been released by the original chromecast for almost a dozen years. At $ 35 pop, these are purchases of pulses, bordering a storage pool territory. Initially intended to serve as a bridge of your phone on your TV, the first models did not have a user -oriented operating system. But this problem was resolved with the release of the Chromecast with Google TV.
Now the company has gone to a decor form factor, and its new Google TV streamer is to connect to advertisements – content. This apparently did not leave a lot of room for the good old -fashioned dongle, so this week, the Chromecast with Google TV was deleted from the online retail store of the company. Chromecast has managed an incredible race of more than 11 years, but it seems to have ended.

RIP Amazon AppStore
At the start of Android, the Amazon AppStore was a serious competitor of the Android market, now known as Google Play Store. To attract users, Amazon would regularly offer paid applications, with the warning that you will have to maintain the installation of Amazon AppStore to receive updates of this application in the future. So, if you hung Swiftkey for free for free, for example, you were almost guaranteed to come back to the Amazon Hub application.
Over the years, these agreements have decreased, as are active users on Amazon AppStore. Now Amazon closes the entire service, at least on the Android side. His Kindle App Store will remain in service for the predictable, but the Android application later stops this year. The fence is already underway, developers are no longer able to download new applications – only updates.

Rip Human Humane Ai Pin
You may have cried for Chromecast and the AppStore, but we bet, you will not shed a tear for the next product on the cutting block. In other words, unless you are one of the very few people who have lost $ 700 on the
Human pine
– In this case, no one would blame you for having sobbed your eyes now.
The famous manufacturer of laptops and printer Ink Hawker Hewlitt-Packard buys human after the search for several months of the AI company for a tenderer. It seems that it is an acquisition of intellectual property, because HP does not buy the pins of AI themselves. Meanwhile, the remains of the human will cease to sell pins immediately, and all the features of the AI on existing devices will cease to work at the end of this month. At this stage, Humane will delete all customer data on his way in oblivion.

Hello nothing 3a phone
With the old one, with the new one. This week, we have seen an assault on leaks around the next 3A phones in Nothing, which now includes the Midragane 3A and an offer not quite flag in the 3A Pro phone. A mid-week leak suggests that the most expensive 3A Pro model will be the highest than most phones in its price for a telephoto lens, which the company itself teased on social networks from a certain time.
At the end of the week, leaks turned into complete floods. Friday morning, renderings of the two phones surfaced, showing the 3A and 3A Pro from several angles. This was quickly understood by what seems to be official promotional videos of nothing for the two phones, presenting the mid -range models in all their glory while detailing their more exciting features.

Live long and prosper, pixel
We expect the mid -range Pixel 9a to make its debut around Google I / O 2025. With a potential version now within a few months, we have seen a lot of rumor details, like four predictable colors. This week, a massive leakage of specifications overturned all juicy details, such as a 120 Hz screen with a brightness of 2,700 nit and a generous 8 GB of RAM.
Just a few lower houses on the Google product roadmap, the Pixel 10 flagship range is looming. As soon as a summer launch period period, the pixels 10, 10 pro, 10 pro XL and 10 pro Fold made their first appearances in a database maintained by the GSMA, the commission behind mobile standards like the RCS universal profile. So we now have model numbers to go with code names on the theme of horses identified last year, but if not, the details are still surprisingly rare for the series.
