Ready for prime time A global release could be imminent. Derrek Lee 5 Mar 2021 5 Source: Joe Maring / Android Central What you need to know The new Google Pay app is no longer listed as "early access" in the Play Store. Google is set to strip the old version of most of its features next month. This could mean Google is preparing to roll out the new app to more countries outside the U.S. The old version of the Google Pay app was recently and unsurprisingly given an expiration date as Google focuses on the new app experience. On April 5th, exactly a month from the time of writing, Google will strip the old app of most features that make it useful. As the new app had been available in the U.S. for months, the move was expected, bringing a new interface and focus on P2P transactions. Oddly, the new app was still listed as "early access," despite being widely available, and even appeared in the beta tab of the Play Store... until now. … [Read more...] about The new Google Pay app is finally out of beta — here’s what that could mean

Google is moving to a faster release cycle for Chrome later this year
In a nutshell: Citing improved testing and release processes for Chrome, Google has decided to speed up the rate at which it pushes out major feature updates for its browser and will switch to a four-week release cycle down from six, starting with version 94 that's arriving in Q3 this year. Google's milestone updates for Chrome on the stable channel arrive every six weeks, but the company says it's now able to shorten that period to just four weeks, thanks to internal improvements and the need for quickly pushing out critical security and bug fixes.

The new ProRaw technology lets me achieve a look that's more pleasing and natural than I can get with the standard JPEG or HEIC photos most camera phones produce.
