Samsung’s stable One UI 8 rollout with Android 16 should be starting any day now and, ahead of that, a bunch of new Galaxy phones have been updated to gain access to the beta program or get a revised version.

Google’s Tensor reboot of the Pixel lineup has never been about adding more power, but rather about creating an experience tailored to what Google wants your phone to be. With the Pixel 10, Tensor G5 takes a big step in the right direction, but its increased gap with the competition begs the question – is Tensor enough for the Pixel 10?

One of the most controversial changes in the Pixel 10 series – at least for US users – is the switch to an eSIM-only setup. For many, that might mean the first time ever using eSIM and it begs the question, how did that go for you?

As Pixel 10 devices are arriving on doorsteps this week, some of the early issues are coming to light. For a number of Pixel 10 owners, some wireless chargers seem to be presenting an issue.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z TriFold isn’t the first of its kind, but it’s still going to be interesting seeing what it brings to the table as the first device that maybe, possibly could be sold outside of China. Through a new software leak, we’re getting a chance to see how Samsung’s new foldable unfolds.

If you just picked up a new Pixel 10 Pro or Pixel 10 Pro XL, you might notice that one of Google’s new features – 100x zoom – is missing out of the box, but a simple update should take care of that.

More and more Google TV devices are lacking a plethora of port options, but a new option is now launching with a ton of options available, and it comes from Acer of all brands.

Google Pixel hit the scene in 2016 and, ever since, Google has been trying to figure out how it wants to build a flagship Android smartphone. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride in one way or another, but after a week using the Pixel 10 Pro XL, I think, for better or worse, this is the culmination of Google’s efforts thus far.

Following seemingly strained negotiations, YouTube TV has confirmed a contract renewal that will keep Fox channels on the live TV service.

Google Photos is rolling out support for making custom stickers from your photos, but it only works on iOS with seemingly no plans to bring it to Android.

YouTube TV is going through yet another set of strained negotiations this week as its renewal with Fox is coming down to the wire, threatening to let those channels go dark as soon as August 27.

The built-in Qi2 magnets in the Pixel 10 series are one of the biggest hardware additions and, for the world of MagSafe accessories already on the market, a piece of good news is that there’s a little “lock” magnet to help keep those accessories in place, just like you find on iPhone.

The story of Google’s Tensor chipsets has been one full of compromise and slow improvements over time, but Google says that the Pixel 10’s Tensor G5 is its “biggest leap in performance yet.” Now that early reviews have arrived, we can talk about what it’s like to use, and also see the (still unimpressive) benchmarks.

Google is clearly trying to get more people to switch to Pixel 10, as the company has just launched a new “Head Start” tool that walks users through the process of moving into their new phone.

Every year, Google creates a new statue to commemorate each Android release and, for Android 16, it’s a celebration of Material 3 Expressive in the form of a mini merry-go-round.

Batteries have been a big downside of Chipolo trackers for some time, but the brand is now launching two new products – Chipolo Loop and Chipolo Card – which support Android’s Find Hub network and also go all-in on rechargeable batteries over alternatives.
