Google rumoured to bundle Pixel 6 in Pixel Pass subscription service

Google

If this leak from M. Brandon Lee is accurate, Google might be exploring offering a subscription package of its own. But it won't just be for its services. The rumour says Google might be bundling in its upcoming Pixel 6, too. The package will reportedly include Google One, Play Pass, Google Fi, YouTube Premium, and an extended warranty. It does seem like the Apple One subscription bundle, but that offer is just for Apple's digital services.

The Pixel Pass will reportedly offer regular upgrades to subscribers, but it isn't clear how frequent the upgrades will be. Ideally, they will provide a new phone every time they release a new device. Potential subscribers need to apply for the plan before being allowed to subscribe. But it will offer a way to cut down costs by trading in old phones. We aren't sure how true this rumour is, but it would make it compelling to get a Pixel device through this option. Perhaps we'll learn more during the October 19 event.

Google rolls out new Nest Aware plans in Canada

The simplified, more cost-effective Nest Aware plans are now available in Canada, which comes seven months since Google introduced these new subscriptions. Nest used to charge $5, $10, $30 per month and camera, depending on how many days of video history users wanted. Now, you can avail of either Nest Aware or Nest Aware Plus subscriptions. Nest Aware costs $8 per month or $80 a year, including 30-day "event video history." Nest Aware Plus costs $16 a month or $160 annually, including 60-day event video history and 10-day 24/7 video history. Event video history is the recordings of motion and sound captured by Nest cameras.

Both plans cover all Nest camera devices you have as well as products like Nest Mini, Google Home and Home Max, Nest Hub and Hub Max, and Nest Wifi Point. Both plans also offer "intelligent alerts," which will let you know when a Nest camera detects sounds or a person, and "activity zones," which you can define and then have Nest alert you when something happens in those areas. If you have an existing subscription, you can upgrade through the Google Store.
