Google's Pixel 4a will cost $350 and launches at the end of the month. After suffering from very detailed leaks as well as the company's own preamble and teases, there wasn't much left to the imagination — or press release, for that matter.
Google proves, again, it is the ruler of midrange phones with the Pixel 4a. It offers flagship-quality cameras, fast performance and good battery life for just $350. It also offers helpful Pixel-only tools like Live Caption for Calls, Call Screening, Recorder and Personal Safety features, helping it to break from the pack.

That's an 83 percent increase on the 49.8 million sales it reported for the same quarter last year.

It'll roll out to all users this fall, but some beta testers can try it this week.
Microsoft
And on the other side of the console avenue, Microsoft has pretty much redesigned the entire online Xbox store, ready for the Series X to land. The company claims the store is more than twice as quick than in the past and that it loads in under two seconds. You can "easily see" what games your friends are playing, and it should be a cinch to find out what sales and discounts are available. Microsoft will let some Xbox Insiders (aka beta testers) try the new-look store for themselves starting on Wednesday, with a gradual roll-out planned in the run-up to the Xbox Series X launch this fall.

Masterbuilt Gravity Series 560 review
A versatile smart charcoal grill.
Engadget
This Gravity Series grill offers the familiarity and convenience of charcoal with a WiFi-connected setup that works well as both a smoker and a high-temperature searing machine. Lighting it properly will take some practice, and it's missing a few features we've seen in other setups, but at $500 it's half the price of a midrange Traeger model. Continue reading.
