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.

It’s been a while since Qualcomm launched an upgrade for Quick Charge, but ahead of the company’s annual Snapdragon refresh, it’s back with some big changes for its proprietary charging standard.

Android 16 is making the Quick Settings more useful with sizing options, but also quietly added a double-tap gesture to make it easier to more precisely edit the layout.

While the Galaxy S26 Edge — and its unabashedly iPhone 17 Pro-esque camera bump — is bound to soak up plenty of the attention at next year’s Galaxy Unpacked event, it’s just one of the three new smartphones we expect Samsung to launch. Now we’re getting a fresh look at the Galaxy S26 Pro set to overtake the usual standard model, but despite the refreshed branding, the overall design is anything but.

As promised, Nvidia is launching its Blackwell upgrade today for GeForce Now, bringing RTX 5080-based machines to the cloud service alongside a whole slew of other upgrades.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 might be an impressive piece of design, but with one obvious shortcoming: its massive camera bump. With next year’s Galaxy S26 Ultra, Samsung could be bringing that design to its standard phablet, without any noticeable changes to its sensor lineup.

Spotify might be centered around a lot more than music these days, but it’s still delivering new sorting features on a semi-regular basis. In addition to a handful of new customization options, the music streamer is also bringing new filters to sort your library by more than just genre.

Welcome to episode 3 of The Sideload, a podcast by NewGeekGuide. This week, Will is joined by Joe Maring, Trending Editor at Android Authority, to discuss their respective experiences with the Pixel 10 series. With Joe back from a recent trip to visit Will in Buffalo, the two discuss how Google’s latest smartphones hold up under the stress of traveling, including whether the battery life is good enough to survive the airport, how the camera performed at Niagara Falls, and the utter mess that is Daily Hub.
It’s been a busy 2025 for Nothing, having launched a trio of smartphones alongside the brand’s first-ever over-the-ear headphones, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the year is quieting down.

There’s a lot to love about the Pixel 10. Through four generations of Tensor, we’ve waited for a chipset that could match the thermal performance of Qualcomm’s best, and my experience so far suggests Google’s nailed it. The 5x telephoto lens, while far from the best on the market, helps the camera feel far flexible than non-Pro Pixels in the past, and helps the device stand out from entry-level flagships from Samsung and Apple. It’s sort of the Pixel I’ve wanted for ages, even if it’s not an out-and-out perfect smartphone.

Welcome to episode 68 of Pixelated, a podcast by NewGeekGuide. This week, Abner, Damien, and Will break down their feelings towards Material 3 Expressive now that Android 16 QPR1 is finally out in the wild. Is this the best Android has ever looked? Will Samsung follow Google’s Material 3 Expressive rather than rushing towards a Liquid Glass-esque reality? Do we spend a large chunk of this episode breaking down how we’ve laid out our quick settings menus? That last one has an easy answer: you bet we do.
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.

Alongside Android 16 QPR1, Google is pushing out a slew of updates to all Android users, releasing the Pixel 10’s new AI-powered writing tools to everyone and finally giving Quick Share an actual user interface.

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.

While Samsung has an event scheduled for later this week to unveil the Galaxy S25 FE and Galaxy Tab S11 series, it might not be the only announcement planned for September after all.

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).
