The Pixel 10 series launched with Android 16 QPR1, and some owners are now seeing a September 2025 security patch update. 

The Galaxy S25 Edge launched at the wrong time for the wrong price, even though it’s objectively a high-end device. The Galaxy S25 Edge appears to be $400 off right now with a surprise Amazon deal, and it could be enough to remedy some of the phone’s obvious flaws.

A federal judge today announced what remedies Google faces after the company was found to have a monopoly in online search. 

It isn’t exactly a surprise that Samsung’s next device is appearing online in leaks just two days before launch, but it’s happening anyway. A new Galaxy S25 FE leak showcases the device in real-world images, and screenshots detail which Galaxy AI features we should expect at launch.

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.
