Introducing 9to5Google Pro and Pixelated Pro06 juil. 202600:03:12

I love reporting the news, and it's something I've been doing day-in and day-out for well over a decade. The entire 9to5Google team is passionate about the work it does.

Table of contents

The media landscape is actively changing. I’m of course talking about AI and how it’s altering the way people consume the news and information, but also its downstream impact on the advertising-supported model that has made the modern web possible. 

With an eye towards that change, we're looking at how to continue to be at the forefront of breaking news, reviews, and coverage of the Google and Android ecosystem.

To ensure that, we would like to introduce 9to5Google Pro.

At the heart of this membership is community building, finding new ways to convey the news, and just doing more with our equally passionate and engaged audience in mind. 

You, the people who visit 9to5Google every day, are the most integral part of our success, and through this membership we're hoping you'll spend more time with and help us continue to grow well into the future.

Pixelated Pro

We love Pixelated, our flagship weekly podcast, as do thousands of you. As a 9to5Google Pro subscriber, you get access to more, with all podcasts ad-free. We're starting with an additional episode each week that allows us to delve deeper into the stories that matter most to you, and will expand to more episodes based on the number of subscribers we get. Listen to our announcement of Pixelated Pro below.

Community

We can see, through thoughtful comments and emails, that our audience cares as much as we do about Android, Google, and the tech space at large. This Discord server, open to all 9to5Google Pro members, will provide an open and continuous source of smart dialogue, feedback, and community building, along with a bunch of fun daily trivia games and other ways to spend time together.

It's also your chance to help shape what we see on 9to5Google every day. It's a direct line for you to send tips, talk about what's new, and more!

https://youtu.be/RQLzBmgl7zk Tiered growth

9to5Google Pro will grow with the number of subscribers we get, and we have a roadmap of projects to take on as that occurs. To provide a sneak peek, we very much know how many of you want the return of a daily news podcast. 

We are brimming with project ideas across every channel we publish: text, video, audio, newsletter, and more. The more members we get, the more we'll be able to invest back into the site and turn 9to5Google into more than just a website.

How to join

9to5Google Pro with that extra episode of Pixelated and Discord channel is $5 per month or $50 annually. 

For those that want to support us more, we offer additional tiers. To be clear, most of the benefits come at $5 per month, as we want our Pro benefits to be accessible to as many people as possible. 

Those that want to contribute more than at the basic Pro level will help us expand our coverage for the benefit of everyone with a few extra perks.

Pro XL: At $25 per month ($250 annually), this tier provides priority access to questions and we'll begin doing occasional swag drops – phone accessories, stickers, etc – but most benefits remain similar to the base tier. This is more about additional support than it is about additional perks.

Ultra: At $100 per month, this tier exists purely for those who wish to support 9to5Google to the full. Like in the Pro XL tier, you'll have direct access to the team and a shoutout, but there are no extra perks. We're simply making this available as an option for those who want to provide additional support.

    Android 17, Now With Even More Bubbles06 mars 202600:52:39

    Welcome to episode 91 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, with Abner and Damien out at MWC, Will invites Andrew Romero to join him on a whirlwind tour of two new OS upgrades from Google: Android 16 QPR3, and Android 17 Beta 2. The two discuss AI-generated wallpapers, that new Now Playing app, and Android's new bubbles — not to be confused with its own bubbles — while Andrew introduces his SPI: Sandwich Price Index.

    Welcome to episode 90 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Abner, Damien, and Will talk through the launch of the Galaxy S26 series, all of its various Pixel-inspired AI tools, and ask whether it's too boring of an upgrade for Samsung. They also discuss Google's newly-announced agentic features for Android, with support for ordering groceries, deliveries, and more, ahead of next month's release.

    Haven't I Seen This Pixel Before?20 févr. 202600:41:53

    Welcome to episode 89 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Abner, Will, and Ben talk all about the Pixel 10a, a device where the 'a' seems to stand for 'again.' Without much in the way of new features, the trio dive into all of the nuances that make the Pixel 10a stand out from its predecessor, before asking the obvious: is it time for smartphone makers to take longer generational breaks? Plus: We know when Google I/O is happening, and we talk all through how we'll be controlling our Android-powered glasses.

    The Beta That (Almost) Wasn't13 févr. 202600:48:07

    Welcome to episode 88 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Ben Schoon joins Damien and Will to talk through the announcement — and subsequent unannouncement — of Android 17. The group talks through how and why this launch fell apart before discussing exactly what expectations we all should have for Android updates in 2026. Then they turn to Samsung, which just confirmed an Unpacked announcement for late February for a series of phones that has us scratching our heads when it comes to big year-over-year improvements.

Their attention briefly turns to Google's February patch for Android — a patch without any much in the way of actual fixes, it seems — before finally debated Google's oddly-sad Gemini ad ahead of this weekend's Super Bowl.

    Welcome to episode 86 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Abner, Damien, and Will dig into an early Android 17 build that includes one big visual change: blurred backdrops. Is this a sign of things to come for Google's vision of its OS, or a more minor system-level tweak? The crew also checks out a leaked look at Android's new — albeit really familiar — desktop mode, Google's more affordable AI Plus plan for Gemini, and Chrome's agentic AI tools.

From tablet comparisons to finding the true use case for this sort of headset, all three of your trusted hosts have found themselves pleasantly surprised and intrigued by the device Samsung and Google has managed to build, even if it's tough to see this as anything more than an expensive stepping stone towards the lighter, more comfortable gadgets of your sci-fi dreams.

But what spot can Google and Samsung claim in a market that hasn't shown much demand yet for premium hardware? And is the future of Android XR other third-party headsets, or is this a stopgap on the way to glasses? Abner, Damien, and Will try to make sense for this vision of wearable computing.

    Welcome to episode 68 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google.

Will Samsung follow Google's Material 3 Expressive rather than rushing towards a Liquid Glass-esque reality? Do we spend a large chunk of this episode breaking down how we've laid out our quick settings menus? That last one has an easy answer: you bet we do.
