As part of Gemini for Home, there will be a redesign of the Google Home app and here’s a quick look at it.

Besides “Google Home Speaker,” there are more details about the “Home Premium” subscription that is replacing Nest Aware.

Samsung’s Galaxy “TriFold” device is clearly right around the corner, but where it will be available has been up for debate. According to a new report, though, Samsung is “considering” selling the Galaxy TriFold in the US and other markets, but nothing is set in stone.

It’s been a busy year for Samsung’s software team. After launching a pretty massive overhaul with One UI 7 earlier this year — an update that took far longer to reach older devices than most expected — the company has seemingly found its footing again with One UI 8.

It’s iPhone 17 review week, and word on the street is the base model is the one to buy this year. Pitting platforms against each other, Apple has a pretty distinct advantage over the Pixel 10 from the jump, with the iPhone 17 arriving with 256GB in its base $800 configuration, while Google delivers just 128GB for the same price. It’s easy enough to see this as a miscalculation on Google’s part — one it can rectify with next year’s Pixel 11 — but the Pixel 10’s status as a device “designed for AI” really feels at odds with this single decision.

Following up on last year’s Nothing Ear, the Nothing Ear (3) is launching today at a higher $179 price point, but with a new “Super Mic” feature added on, as well as some tweaks to its sound profile.

Meta is launching its first smart glasses with a built-in display, with the new “Meta Ray-Ban Display” glasses launching later this month for $799.
