Pixel 2’s Buzzing To Be Fixed In Upcoming Update

Google’s Pixel 2 phones have been experiencing quite a bit of issues ever since it has been launched, but the good news is that Google is (so far) aware of most of these issues and have been busying trying to fix them. One of those reported problems is a buzzing sound that can be heard when making calls, which is a fix Google will be addressing soon.

In a post on the Pixel User Community (via Android Police), Community Manager Orrin announced that Google will be pushing out a software update in the coming weeks that will fix the problem. “We’re rolling out a software update in the coming weeks which eliminates a faint buzzing sound on some Pixel 2 devices when the phone is placed to your ear during a phone call.”

There are no specific dates mentioned, so we guess owners of the Pixel 2 handsets will just have to wait for it, but we’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for its release. In the meantime Google has already fixed a problem which involved the handset making weird clicking sounds, so this appears to be next on the list. Hopefully when this update is released it will address the buzzing sounds and some of the other problems plaguing the handset.

Tesla Roadster Could Be Even Faster With A ‘Special Option Package’

Tesla has recently announced a new car in the form of the Roadster, which according to the company is the fastest production car in the world. The car has a “Plaid” mode which when enabled, allows it go from 0-60mph in a whopping 1.9 seconds, which is indeed insanely fast, but it seems that it could potentially go faster.

In a tweet by Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk, he has revealed that the Roadster’s current advertised speed is only the “base model”, and that the company plans on introducing a “special option package” for the car that will take it to the next level. At 1.9 seconds that’s incredibly fast so we can’t really imagine how much faster it could be.

We would also be interested to hear about this special option package’s cost, and given that the Roadster will be priced starting at $200,000 ($50,000 deposit to reserve the car for yourself), we can imagine that this option probably won’t come cheap. That being said, the Roadster is still a few years away from being released.

The new Tesla Roadster is the successor to the company’s original Roadster from close to a decade ago, and the new model is currently slated for a release in 2020.

Lenovo Tab 7, Tab 7 Essential Tablets Launched

If you’re in the market for a new Android tablet and don’t want to spend too much money, you might be interested to learn that Lenovo has recently taken the wraps off two new Android tablets. This comes in the form of the Lenovo Tab 7 and the Tab 7 Essential, with both models coming under under $100.

Starting with the Tab 7, the tablet will feature a 7-inch display with a 1280×720 resolution. Under the hood we are looking at a 1.3GHz MediaTek chipset, where the device will also be accompanied by 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and also a 2MP rear-facing camera and a 5MP front-facing camera.

As for the Tab 7 Essential, this tablet will feature a same-sized display but will sport a lower resolution off 1024×600. It will also be clocked at 1.3GHz but will use a MediaTek MT8167D processor versus the MT8161 found in the Tab 7. It will also be accompanied by 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage.

As for pricing, like we said they both come in under $100. The Lenovo Tab 7 will be priced at $99.99 while the Tab 7 Essential will go for $79.99. These are probably not the most powerful tablets available in the market right now, but if you’re on a budget or just want a tablet for the sake of it, these should do in a pinch.
