what's happening Brian song here and welcome to everything Google that we can think of this week it's still the biggest story in the smartphone world and it's the latest on the galaxy note 7 now you've all been waiting to see how Samsung's updated Galaxy Note 7 refresh is going but it may not look that good that's after a report from the South Korean TV news network that says a growing number of complaints are now claiming the updated phones are still having battery issues this time they are accelerated battery drain or difficulty charging when plugged in now one example of battery drain was jumping from 75 percent to 49 percent in just 39 minutes or gaining only a 10 percent charge through an entire night of charging so far these incidents are limited to South Korea and Samsung is claiming these are also isolated incidents so we'll have to wait and see but it's really all about a preview to Google's October 4th event next week Tuesday after a Google released a tweet last week it's never been explicitly said but the announcement of their new Google pixel phone is a sure thing and they have been blasting the marketing on this like no other Google phone that we've seen in the past now leaks have showcased blurred-out models of the pixel and pixel XL with its glass and aluminum construction but reports by Android police claimed they will come in silly colour names such as very silver white black and the third alleged colour really blue and we're being serious also Android police reports that Google will have final pricing for the anticipated Amazon echo rival Google home and it will retail for 129 which is $40 less than the standard Amazon echo Google Wi-Fi will also sell for $129 according to the reports and will be able to connect to multiple Google Wi-Fi access points to create a big single one and the chromecast ultra 4k renders have been released for their newest 4k video streaming dongle that will sell for $69 according to reports with a newer slightly sleeker design but there's still more coming in the future from Google an exclusive report from 9 to 5 Google's claims Google plans to launch the anticipated and dromeda Android and Chrome hybrid OS on two devices including a Huawei Nexus tablet and a convertible laptop that Android police also operated now Huawei tablets could be the one Evan blast tweeted out a few weeks ago but reports also confirmed Google is testing out Andromeda on the Nexus 9 tablet as well timelines could be a lot further down but the huawei tablet is starting to be ready before the end of the year and the new pixel convertible laptop could be ready by the third quarter of 2017 and finally and what looks like the worst Google self-driving car accident to date you can see the damage to the cars right door site and the crushed windows but reports say that this was in fact a civilian driver at fault that ran a red light and collided with the Google car whose green light was on for at least six seconds Google added that human error has played a part in 94% of crashes reported to date all right that's gonna do it for this week's show you can always email me at Google issues at cnet.com or to me at brian tom thanks so much for watching we'll catch you next time for some more of that Google issues do you Ganesh's
