In this week’s top stories: Google officially shuts down music sales in the Play Store, Carl Pei leaves OnePlus, Google Camera 8.0 can be installed on older Pixels, and more.

Google Play Music took another large step toward being shut down this week, with the Google Play Store app fully removing the ability to buy music.

Previously, you could buy songs to listen to within Play Music or download as MP3s for your favorite player.

Google will keep Play Music playlists, uploads, purchases, likes, and other data until December to give users a chance to migrate to YouTube Music using the transfer tool.

While OnePlus fans eagerly awaited news of the latest phone from the company with the OnePlus 8T, another interesting bit of news was brewing.

Starting out in credible rumors before being formally confirmed, it was discovered this week that OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei has left the company, following rumors of a dispute between Pei and fellow co-founder Pete Lau.

On the Google Pixel side of news this week, the Pixel 5 began reaching customers’ hands which has also meant that the latest Google Camera app update has reached the internet.

However, unlike versions past, Google Camera 8.0 is not easy to sideload onto older Pixel phones.

In other OnePlus news, the company has had a change of heart since the launch of the OnePlus 8 earlier this year.
