Google has been talking about its next Pixel 6 phones for months, but the company hadn’t announced a launch date or pricing information … until now. Google has programmed a Pixel Fall Launch Event for October 19, when we’ll likely learn more about the first phones to ship with Google Tensor processors, the biggest camera upgrade for the Pixel line since the company started offering multiple devices. photo, and you know, when you can buy one.

Want something… stranger? Cycle, a company that funded a kit to make an advertising Android phone with a circular display a few years ago, is back with the Cycle Phone 2.0. This crowdfunding campaign asks users to spend $ 699 on a phone that won’t ship for almost a year. Oh, and it has lousy specs and a small, round screen that most Android apps aren’t designed for.

Here’s a roundup of the latest technology news from the web.

Pixel Fall launch [Google]

Google is scheduling a Pixel Fall launch event for October 19, when we finally know how much the company will charge for Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones with Google Tensor processors, new cameras, and Android 12.

The bicycle phone 2.0 [Kickstarter]

Cycle Phone 2.0 is an Android phone with 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage and a 3.45 inch, 800 x 800 pixel circular display that most apps will not display correctly.

Crowdfunding now for $ 699 with an estimated retail price of $ 999 and a shipping date of September 2022.

In a way this video is not a parody:

Brave and Firefox to intercept links that forcibly open in Microsoft Edge [Ctrl Blog]

Brave for Windows now intercepts microsoft-edge: links that previously opened in Edge, even if it’s not your default browser. Firefox will soon be too. But Brave also plans to redirect Windows search links from Bing to Brave, which is a bit darker.

Unloading tabs in Firefox 93 [Mozilla Hacks]

Firefox 93 brings a new crash protection feature: it monitors available system memory and if a crash seems likely, it will unload inactive but memory-hungry tabs. Available now for Windows, coming later for Linux and Mac.

Yubico launches the first YubiKeys with biometric authentication [Yubico]

Yubico’s new multi-factor authentication keys support fingerprint recognition. The new YubiKey Bio series retails for $ 80 and up and is available in USB-A and USB-C versions.

Swmo for PinePhone (postmarketOS with Sxmo and Wayland UI) [@linmobblog]

Sxmo is one of the fastest graphical user interfaces for Linux phones with entry-level specs like the PinePhone, thanks to the emphasis on simplicity rather than visual flair. When I tested Sxmo, I found that it had a bit of a steep learning curve, as you have to get used to the idea of ​​a tiled window manager on a mobile phone, as well as the use of hardware buttons for navigation. There is now a new way to create Sxmo using the Wayland display server rather than x.org. Designated as Swmo, it adds support for some apps that wouldn’t work otherwise.

It’s pretty cool (an advantage over Sxmo is that you can use GTK4 Megapixels), but I really need to tweak it to have an easy way to lock the screen and put it to sleep by pressing a button to make it actually usable for me. Cannot replace muscle memory.

Despite my inability to modify my muscle memory to work with #Swmo (I’m still confused that the power button doesn’t work as a power button once I actively keep it in mind), I think I’ve found a place for it: #PinePhone “Convergence.” pic.twitter.com/md4abUr3J3
