Following last month’s announcement, the migration of Google Keep reminders to Google Tasks is slowly rolling out.

Google Messages for Android is redesigning how link and YouTube previews look inside conversations. 

I’ve found plenty to love about my Pixel 10 over the past few months, but so far, nothing has topped the inclusion of PixelSnap. Google’s branded Qi2 implementation — the first of its kind we’ve seen on Android — brings all sorts of magnetic accessories to this year’s lineup, and in my experience, it feels like the closest we’ve come to a modern, market-friendly version of modular design. I’ve spent the last few weeks testing out a handful of magnetic accessories (some Qi2-specific, some not-so-much), and honestly, I can’t imagine going back.

Aqara has built a name synonymous with quality, and the deals it has for Black Friday make its devices a can’t-miss upgrade for your home. That includes smart locks, Matter hubs, and video doorbells at deep discounts during the holiday season.

I think Android laptops are happening in part because Google does not see a future where Chromebooks rival Mac and Windows for market share. All the success Google has in various consumer form factors comes down to Android. To that end, one of my biggest questions about this reboot of Google’s desktop strategy is how much will Android laptops try to copy the success of smartphones.

The monthly “Google System Release Notes” primarily detail what’s new in Play services, Play Store, and Play system update across Android phones/tablets, Wear OS, Google/Android TV, Auto, and PC. Some features apply to end users, while others are aimed at developers.

The Google Store has kicked off its 2025 Black Friday deals, with these Pixel offers available until December 2-6.

Samsung’s futuristic Galaxy Z TriFold looks pretty incredible, but the big question is still around pricing. There are some rumors going around, but the big question is what would you pay for it?

Roborock is kicking off its Black Friday 2025 deals with big discounts on select robot vacuums, some of which are up to 50% or even 70% off. Here are some of the best deals available.

Black Friday 2025 is in full swing, with many discounts opening up this week. It’s also the best time of the year to get on a streaming service, as major streamers such as Disney+, HBO Max, and Apple TV are all heavily discounted for Black Friday.

Following the Android version in June, the Google Account page on the web has been redesigned and simplified with Material 3 Expressive elements.

All of the best Black Friday deals you’ll across the internet today are now waiting for you down below alongside a gigantic collection of notable price drops live from the Black Friday Week events that are now un full swing.

Head below or a closer look at the best Black Friday deals now live. 

Since the launch of Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro, Google looks to have limited what free users can access in response to high demand.

If you’re looking for a decent replacement for an older phone or a backup, and the Pixel 9 looks eerily similar to the Pixel 10, is it still worth it? Well, of course it is, but let’s get into why in this deep dive.

Following the Feature Drop announcement two weeks ago, Google Maps is rolling out Power Saving mode on the Pixel 10 series.

Google is testing an update to Circle to Search on Android that sees any follow-up queries routed to AI Mode with a new bottom search bar design. 

This latest Pixel drop brought one of my biggest fears to Android: notification summaries. It’s something Apple botched in iOS 18 last year, and something I didn’t feel like Android needed given its top-tier notification management. After a week with the feature, though, I’m of two minds. Google is definitely doing this the “right” way, but does that mean I’m likely to leave this tool enabled for weeks to come? Unfortunately, not quite.

The war between TV display types has only made things more complicated and more confusing. The Hisense U7 stands out, offering a solid mini-LED experience at a price that sits right in the middle of the pack, where it should be.
