At Snapdragon Summit 2025, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon had an on-stage conversation with Google’s Rick Osterloh. The SVP of Platforms & Devices had more comments about desktop Android, with Qualcomm also working on it and “incredibly excited.”

Outside of Chrome, Drive, and Quick Share, Google rarely makes native desktop apps with everything usually being based in the browser. That’s changing today with a new experimental “Google app for Windows.”

Google is getting a little more adventurous in the accessory game with a new rope wrist strap offering for Pixel phones, or any device, for that matter – just not the Pixel Fold series.

It’s been clear for some time that the “open web” as we’ve known it for years is in a tough spot, but Google has argued the opposite. In a court statement, though, Google’s own case argues that the open web is “in rapid decline.”

Google issued a brief statement on its blog this week, promoting the security of Gmail following erroneous online claims of mass warnings sent to end users.

It seems like the wait might be over, and the Google Pixel 10 series will get Qi2 magnetic charging, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

We’ve got a little more than a week to go until the official unveiling of the Pixel 10 series, but like most of the company’s launches, it’s starting to feel like we’ll know everything about Google’s new smartphones before anyone actually walks out on stage. If you already know you’re buying a Pixel 10 but you’re stuck on color choices, this might be the leak you’ve been waiting for.

Following its loss in court against Epic Games, Google has just a few weeks to make some absolutely massive changes to the Play Store – and in effect, Android as a whole – despite the company’s goal to appeal the court’s decision.

The trial of Epic Games vs Google has been dragging on for years now, with the latest court case ending with the 2023 verdict not being overturned and, according to Tim Sweeney, the Epic Games Store on its way to the Google Play Store.

Alphabet today announced Q2 2025 earnings with $96.42 billion in revenue. These numbers range from April to June.

A partial outage appears to be hitting various Google services today, including Workspace, Gmail, Gemini, Nest, and other products powered by Google Cloud.

A jury is ordering Google to pay $314.6 million in damages for acquiring and misusing data from Android users in California without their permission.

Back in April, Sundar Pichai said over 30% of code at Google is now generated by AI. The company today released guidance for all Google software engineers on how to best adopt AI for coding and their work.

Google has reportedly cut Google TV’s budget by a significant margin. This comes as the company is preparing to bring Google Gemini to the platform later this year, as well as make a bigger push for improvements to YouTube.

YouTube has no plans to quell AI content. In fact, it’s making it all the more possible to upload and view artificially produced videos with a dedicated Veo 3 integration in YouTube Shorts.

If you’re struggling with Google services right now, you’re not alone as it appears that a partial outage is affecting many of the company’s various apps and services.

Samsung is seemingly struggling to find chip buyers for 3nm chipsets due to low yields, as the company enters its third year in production. This comes as Google has shifted to purchasing its upcoming Tensor G5 SoCs from TSMC instead.

Google’s new ‘G’ logo appeared on stage during the I/O 2025 keynote, and is now live in more apps and the web.

If the internet wasn’t already full of misinformation and general filler content, Veo 3 is going to take it to an entirely new level. Google’s newly announced Veo 3 video and audio generation engine is already being used to create terrifyingly realistic videos that would fool just about anyone.
