It’s a new day, new year, with new beginnings.
Let’s hope the new year brings better times and leave behind the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
May the new decade begin!

Closer to home in Singapore, the skies opened up today to usher in the new decade. Video shot with Google Pixel 4 XL.
Google has launched the Pixel 4a (S$499) which will be available online from 10 September. Pre-orders for the mid-tier smartphone in Singapore begins tomorrow.
The Pixel 4a has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G Mobile Platform, Titan M security module for on-device security, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage with an even bigger battery that lasts all day. To the right is a sneak peek at the Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5.
The Pixel 4a comes in Just Black with a 5.8-inch bezel-less, OLED display, with a 3.5mm headphone jack, increased storage space of 128GB and 6GB of RAM.
Together with the launch of the Pixel 4a comes the Pixel 4a knit fabric cases, which combine beauty, lightweight protection and recycled materials.
Here are some tips from Google on digital wellbeing and how our devices can contribute to our daily happiness.
The first step toward digital wellbeing is often understanding more about how you interact with technology in the first place. Tools like the Digital Wellbeing Dashboard in Android 9 Pie and YouTube’s Time Watched offer ways to keep you more informed about your habits.
Despite being one of the wealthiest nations globally, research has shown that Singaporeans are amongst the unhappiest people in the world.
Disconnect when you need to. Take advantage of tools that help make it easier to take a break from your devices, and switch off at the end of each day.
It’s 2020. Happy New Year! あけましておめでとうございます!

May peace and love be with you always!

Google has begun providing Pixel users with functionality improvements through what they call Pixel feature drops. The first one has just arrived.
These features are already rolling out and will hit all Pixel phones (Pixel 2, 3, 3a, 4) in the coming weeks. To get them, you have to update to the latest version of Android and go to the PlayStore to start downloading the updated apps.
The Pixel feature drop is in addition to automatic updates that Google currently already provide for fixes and minor improvements.
This first feature drop includes a new way to capture portraits, easier Duo calls and automatic call screening (for those in the US).
So for Singaporeans, what’s new with the new Google Assistant in English?
After much anticipation, Google Pixel 4 has arrived in Singapore, together with other #MadeByGoogle hardware, such as the upgraded Nest Mini speaker and Nest Wifi system. Singapore won’t be getting the Pixelbook Go or the Pixel Buds though. Prices and availability below.
