Find, lock, or erase a lost Pixel phone If you lose your phone, you can find, lock, or erase it. Go to android. If you have more than one phone, click the lost phone at the top of the screen. Along with the new year, and a fresh wave of smartphones has washed ashore ready to push the Pixel for the best Android phone title.

Google is behind the curve here. All the prejudgment of the Pixel 3 was based on its looks, but our opinion immediately softened when we held one in our hand. This cannot be properly conveyed through words or photos alone, so we strongly suggest you try to lay hands on one yourself. The Pixel 3 is the perfect size and weight for a smartphone. The clever part here is the back of the Pixel 3 is in fact one continuous piece of tough Gorilla Glass 5.

No room for a MicroSD card here and no 3. The Pixel 3 is a very similar size to the iPhone XS , measuring in a touch taller, but not quite as wide. While Apple has packed a 5. The dual lens front-facing camera is embedded in the left side of the top bezel and there are central stereo speakers top and bottom. The speakers are 40 percent louder than the Pixel 2, and they sound much more dynamic, and the sound can easily fill a room. The higher contrast ratio really tells, especially in low light and dark conditions where true black stands out and backlights cause problems.

With a 2, x 1,pixel resolution, the Pixel 3 display is sharp and legible. The Pixel 3 screen is excellent.

The Pixel 3 can do things no other phone can. A lot of these A. It allows you to use Google Assistant to answer a call for you, and then you will see a live transcription of what the caller is saying. You can mark it as spam if it is the latter. Either way, this has quickly become one of our favorite features on the Pixel 3.

It has also rolled out to the Pixel 2 and 2 XL. If you plug in the wired, USB-C earbuds that come with your Pixel 3, then Google Assistant will pop up and tell you when you have a text message, giving you the option to hear it. You can also ask any of the usual array of questions to find out about the next train, your schedule, the weather, or listen to another track. This is a slick, responsive smartphone that happily fires up and runs whatever apps or games you choose.

That puts the Pixel 3 at the same level as most other Android flagships, including the Note 9. It may take a little period of adjustment to get used to the lack of classic navigation buttons and pick up the new gestures, but anyone switching from another Android device is going to feel at home here. Check out our Android 9. As the developer of Android, Google will push security updates and larger feature updates out to the Pixel range first.

That means software update speeds on a par with Apple, negating one of the big criticisms of the Android ecosystem: Security and fragmentation. And also after taking a video or a picture without the victim knowing, that we could have deleted it from the storage after sending it to the hacker. So there is absolutely no trace. LO: Right.

Be prepared

Now you guys were using the Google Pixel 2 XL on the Google Pixel 3 when you started researching the Google camera app, but then you found after further digging that the same vulnerabilities are on camera apps of other smartphone vendors, right? How many vendors are potentially impacted?

1. Account Options.
2. Redmi Note 8 Pro Message spy.
3. It takes just a few minutes to sell your Google..

And they actually contacted all the vendors of the Android ecosystem. They indeed told us that there are some vendors that are affected by the same thing. And we did not actually bother to check because our goal is basically to let everyone know that they need to check their apps. There might be other companies that have.

How to find a stolen or lost Android phone

LO: Yes, I mean, speaking of disclosure, you mentioned in the research that when you reach out to Google, you had a positive experience in terms of disclosure and rolling out patches, can you talk a little bit about what they did to mitigate the issue and the process of rolling out those fixes.

Usually they are very serious with triaging the issues. And the same happened here. Quite quickly, they triaged it and decided that this the severity of this issue is high. The first release of the patch fixed the issue, but they were not sure that it does not break other functionalities. So we decided to wait with the publication until they release the final patch. And we definitely understood that. But when it comes to third party app permissions in general, I feel like this is really becoming a bigger issue in terms of data privacy and data collection, especially because videos and photos are so personal.

Install the app

Definitely if there are children or the specific app is, is really trending. This is something that we need maybe to put more more focus and awareness on and education of consumers. And if it makes sense. But in general, try to download only applications that you really feel secure about. Are these patches automatic at this point, or do they need to update? So if users have automatic updates on your phone turned on then they should be safe. If not, turn it on and to update all the applications not only the camera application, in general to keep your operating system and applications up to date is always a good idea.

This is just an example.

But these findings are happening all the time with different severities and different applications. So this is just a general rule of thumb that should be followed. LO: Great. And Erez one final question. Was there anything else that stuck out to you in terms of this research or any takeaways or anything else you want to make clear as a final point? It seems much more specific and lucrative for cyber criminals for sure.

Erez, thank you so much for coming onto the Threatpost podcast today.
