Mattel is a toy company. Google is an Internet services and product company. Exactly what happens when the two meets is anyone’s guess, but we’ll get some answers on February 13, since both companies sent press invites to an event, as reported by 9to5Google.

Exactly what the event entails is still a mystery, though the invitation sports the tagline, “View what’s possible.” In addition, the invitation features what could be a reel from an old View-Master, which was a stereoscope back in the mid 1990s that people used to look at photos.

The obvious guess is an update to the View-Master, which could include features from Cardboard or even Google Glass. Regardless of what it is, the product announcement will continue Google’s focus on kids, as the company recently purchased Launchpad Toys and is in cahoots with Disney for their new animated preschool series, Miles from Tomorrowland.

Something else to keep in mind is the Mattel-Google event is scheduled one day before Toy Fair 2015 starts in New York City, so the two companies’ product will presumably be shown off there. Of course, we’ll make sure to report what they announce.

Google’s Android monopoly finds its biggest challenge, and Apple might be next
Apps screen on the Google Pixel 7.

The Competition Commission of India slapped Google with two hefty fines over anti-competitive strategies that have allowed it to dominate the mobile ecosystem in India. Totaling over $250 million, the penalties reprimand Google for forcing smartphone makers to avoid Android forks, prefer Google’s web search service, and pre-install popular cash cows like YouTube on phones.

Google was also disciplined for forcing its own billing system on developers that allowed the giant to take up to a 30% share of all in-app purchases for applications listed on the app store. Google is not really a stranger to titanic penalties; The EU handed Google a record-breaking fine of approximately $5 billion in 2018 for abusing its dominant market position — a penalty that was upheld in September this year following Google’s appeal.

Google Pixel 7 vs. Google Pixel 6: What’s changed?

As the summer winds down and fall begins, Pixel fans know to expect new hardware releases from Google. While there are plenty of new devices launching around this time, like the Pixel Watch, it's the Google Pixel 7 people are scrambling to get their hands on. Although the Pixel 7 Pro boasts more powerful specs, the base model is still impressive in its own right, thanks to the upgraded processor and design.

With the near-constant stream of new smartphone launches, however, it can be a little tough to know when it's time to spend the cash and upgrade, especially if you bought the Google Pixel 6 last year. It's important to note there won't be huge differences between these two, as this yearly upgrade is more incremental. But even with that in mind, by the time we're done comparing both devices, there should be a definitive better smartphone. So, if you're wondering whether to upgrade or if you should buy the new Pixel 7 over the older Pixel 6, here's your answer.

Does the Google Pixel Watch come with a charger? What’s in the box
Google Pixel Watch charging.

Google is well-known for its search engine, email service, and Pixel smartphones, but now the company is branching out with a new Pixel Watch. Featuring Wear OS 3.5 (the latest version) and the best of Google integrations like Google Maps for navigation and Google Wallet for contactless payments, Google's first-ever smartwatch sounds promising for Android users. 
Plus, Google acquired Fitbit last year, which means you can see all the popular fitness tracking features in the new Pixel Watch. The watch will monitor blood oxygen levels, count your steps and calories burned, and track your sleep patterns. You can also interact with Google Assistant for hands-free use. But to fully enjoy all these features, you need good battery life with quick and easy charging options — so you can guess one of the biggest questions on users' minds.
The Google Pixel Watch comes with a charger

Google promises an enhanced battery life with the Pixel Watch, and you get a USB-C magnetic charging cable included for free in the box. But unfortunately, there is no wall adapter for the charger. And you will need one considering the watch features just a 294mAh battery. You can buy a new charger or use an old one that's compatible with USB-C charging cables. 
While this isn't ideal, it's similar to many other smartwatches sold today. The Apple Watch Series 8 and Galaxy Watch 5 also come with a charging cable, but just like the Pixel Watch, neither comes with a wall charger to use the cable with. It's annoying, but it's also a common trend in the modern wearable world.
