Google is opening up access to the major Fitbit app redesign on Android this week, but there’s a long list of features not available in the preview release just yet.

The forthcoming November update for Google Pixel devices has shown up a little early in some leaked images, suggesting that “theme packs” and more are on the way.

Telegram has released a new beta update on Android that adds a bit of Liquid Glass, and users aren’t very happy about it.

Google TV might be in your hotel room sometime next year, as Google has just struck a deal with DIRECTV to use Google TV as the underlying experience for a new “Advanced Entertainment Platform” designed for hotels and hospitality.

The near-complete absence of Qi2 magnets in Android phones ended with the launch of the Pixel 10 series, but why did it take so long? In a recent video, Nothing suggested it was partially due to cost, as the company estimated it would cost a company about $10 million to implement Qi2. If that sounds ridiculous… it kind of is, as the WPC has confirmed this is not the case.

Nothing has made a couple of big reveals over the past few days, with a new Nothing Phone (3a) Lite coming up quickly, but also the reveal that the company will start pre-installing apps and including lock screen ads on select devices to subsidize their hardware cost.

If there’s one thing Google is good at with Pixel, it’s color. This year, “Indigo” is the standout color, even if it’s not on the flagship series, and my new Pixel Watch band reminded me just how good “Indigo” is.

Meta’s new Ray-Ban Display smart glasses are impressive, but they’re also hard to get. On top of costing $800, they also require an in-person demo before making the purchase, and you’ll now be able to do that at select Verizon stores that will offer Meta Ray-Ban Display demos.

The Pixel 10’s Qi2 support opens a new world of accessories, but first in line should be Belkin’s clever little 3-in-1 stand that not only serves as an excellent travel charger, but also just a perfect starting point.

In the latest round of heated negotiations, YouTube TV is now at risk of losing channels from Disney including the likes of ESPN and ABC.

Almost everyone uses a smartphone case as a means of protecting their smartphone, but what if you could have a case that barely actually covers your phone? The Arc Pulse promises to add protection to your Pixel 10 while showing off its design and only covering a tiny fraction of the actual device. Would you try it?

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 plans have not been going well as of late, but rumor has it that the company is now delaying the launch of its flagship series by several weeks.

Following up on its solar-powered pan-and-tilt camera from earlier this week, the Wyze Battery Video Doorbell is available starting today, and it hits some similar notes to Google’s latest Nest Doorbell too.

It’s been nearly a decade since Pebble was bought out and, in time, slowly killed. But now, Pebble is getting a reboot with the Pebble 2 Duo being the first smartwatch shipping to customers, and it’s ready to pick up exactly where it left off.

OpenAI has launched its first browser in ChatGPT “Atlas,” and while it has its own set of features, it’s just another Chromium-based browser.

The Google Maps app for Android Auto is getting a partial redesign to better surface the “Report” functionality on smaller displays while also hiding suggested locations by default for some users.

If you’re noticing freezing and crashing issues for the Spotify app on Android as of late, you’re not alone, as an ongoing issue causes the app to run into numerous issues when connected to certain Wi-Fi networks.

Samsung’s new Galaxy XR headset is the world’s first Android XR device and a proper competitior to Apple’s Vision Pro. At $1,799 it’s a lot more affordable than Apple’s headset, but Samsung is charging a truly obscene $250 extra for the case and the controllers – and no, that’s not a combined price tag.
