Will Sattelberg is a writer and podcaster at NewGeekGuide.
He’s been covering all things Android since 2021 when he joined the team at Android Police, serving as both News Editor and Phones Editor throughout his tenure. Prior to professionally covering Android and all things smartphones, he was just a passionate enthusiast, having purchased his first Android device — HTC’s Thunderbolt — back in 2011.
Will has a degree in video production he occasionally remembers to use, but his real love lies in both writing and podcasting. He’s constantly fascinated — and sometimes frustrated — by the ever-evolving shape of consumer technology, and enjoys bringing that sense of affection and curiosity to everything he produces.

Portable projectors are a dime a dozen these days — a quick glance at store listings on Amazon makes that painfully obvious — but TCL’s latest gadget manages to stand out thanks to its unique design.

The OnePlus 13 is one of my favorite smartphones of the year, in part because of a surprisingly excellent camera that — while perhaps not as reliable as the best from Google — can really impress in its best moments. Much of that performance comes from the company’s partnership with Hasselblad, employing the camera company’s color science to help make something that stood out from the typical ultra-processed, contrast-less landscape. Unfortunately, that relationship is coming to an end.

Hot off the back of its acclaimed Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung’s back with a new smartphone. And while this one doesn’t fold up like a map, the Galaxy S25 FE could be a pretty enticing device this holiday season.

Welcome to episode 2 of The Sideload, a podcast by NewGeekGuide. This week, Will is joined by Noah Dentzel, CEO and co-founder of Nomad, and Harvey Hunerberg, Associate Director of Product Management at Nomad, to discuss their company’s new expansion into Pixel accessories, beginning with Pixel Watch straps. From the decision to launch accessories for Pixel after primarily focusing on the Apple ecosystem to how tariffs affect companies like Nomad, it’s a pretty fun — if in-depth — conversation. Plus, Will gets to nerd out on just how excited he is for a Qi2-dominant world, and we get a quick tease for what could be next from Nomad.
Samsung’s just a few days away from launching their next Galaxy Tab series, but you don’t need to wait until Thursday to get a pretty cohesive look at these two tablets.

Welcome to episode 67 of Pixelated, a podcast by NewGeekGuide. This week, Abner, Damien, and Will reconvene after a week with the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL to talk about their respective experiences. These three phones might look familiar, but between Tensor G5, Magic Cue and Daily Hub, and Pixelsnap, there’s plenty to break down.
While those of us in North America might be biding our time until Samsung’s long-promised tri-foldable eventually arrives on store shelves — apparently later this year, though not at next week’s Galaxy event — Huawei is prepping to launch a second-gen version of the Mate XT. Thanks to a social media tease, we’re finally getting our first real look at it.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 just arrived on store shelves last month, but Samsung’s already gearing up for another launch event next week.

Google’s post-purchase support for Pixel has never been fantastic — a quick glance at r/GooglePixel will make that abundantly clear — but with the Pixel 10 series, it seems like the company’s looking to improve on its overall experience with a refreshed premium offering.

Nothing’s made a pretty sizeable splash this year with the launch of three smartphones — including its first-ever flagship-adjacent device — but it hasn’t been without controversy. Following a controversial video comparison earlier this year between the Phone (3a) and iPhone 16 Pro Max, Nothing’s been caught using professionally-sourced stock imagery on in-store demo units of the Phone (3).

We’re still waiting for the eventual launch of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 FE, perhaps timed perfectly with those rumored Galaxy Tab S11 tablets. But if you just can’t wait for an early reveal, one Portuguese retailer accidentally published a full specs sheet earlier than expected.

Most smartphone rumor cycles have some amount of conflicting information, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra isn’t immune. Throughout this summer, leakers have gone back and forth on whether or not Samsung’s next supersized flagship would feature a battery upgrade, potentially delivering the brand’s first increase over its usual 5,000mAh cell size ever. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like that’s happening after all.

Introducing The Sideload, a new podcast from NewGeekGuide! Each week, Will Sattelberg sits down with a rotating panel of guests to host a chill, low-key conversation about Android and the world of technology at large. This week, NewGeekGuide‘s own Ben Schoon joins the very first episode to break down Made By Google 2025 moment by moment. From Jimmy Fallon’s awkward Tensor moment to some surprisingly impressive demos, join Ben and Will as they figure out whether Google’s new event format was a success, failure, or something in between.
The Pixelated crew reassembles after an absolutely exhausting week covering Made By Google. Abner, Damien, and Will break down Google’s wild swing at this year’s event, featuring countless celebrity cameos alongside a musical performance, all hosted by Jimmy Fallon. After talking through all of Google’s various new devices, they also touch on the surprise release of Android 16 QPR2 Beta 1, that blink-and-you-miss-it look at new smart speaker hardware, and deliver a quick tease for the next NewGeekGuide podcast.
The Pixel 10 series might’ve been unveiled two days ago, but we’re still learning about some of Google’s latest features. Today’s announcement comes hand-in-hand with WhatsApp, as the two companies are bringing voice and video calls over satellite as an initial exclusive.

After skipping out on the Galaxy Tab S10 series, Samsung’s ready to bring an 11-inch flagship tablet back to market, and unsurprisingly, the big change comes from following its bigger siblings in a move to MediaTek.

The Pixel 10 series is officially here, and while they might appear pretty similar to last year’s models, looks can be deceiving. From a more powerful, more efficient Tensor G5 chipset to a 5x telephoto on the base model — not to mention Pixelsnap and all of the AI skills you can handle — this is a much larger launch than first impressions might imply. If you’re looking to pre-order one of Google’s new smartphones, there are plenty of places to score a deal, either through retailers or through your carrier.

The Pixel Watch 4 is finally here — or, well, it will be, once its October shipping date finally rolls around. It sure seems like the wait’s going to be worth it, though. With a bigger, brighter display, improved battery life, and plenty of improvements to fitness tracking, it’s shaping up to be a must-buy for older Pixel Watch owners, and that means you’ll want to get the most bang for your buck on a trade-in.

Google’s Pixel Watch 4 is finally official, and while wearable fans might feel stressed about its October launch date, those hardware improvements seem well worth it. But with a new charging dock comes the need for additional chargers, and depending on what you want to buy for your next smartwatch, you should probably start saving up.
