The 2025 NFL season is just about a month out from kicking off in style, but YouTube TV isn’t waiting to get in on the action. NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers can now access a new benefits program featuring discounts and deals from various sponsors and Google products.

According to a new report, a portion of the new devices Google will be launching later this month won’t actually arrive in the hands of customers until October, including Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

While we expected Samsung’s One UI 8 update, based on Android 16, to start rolling out to older Galaxy devices sometime this month, the company has just confirmed that won’t happen until September, but the beta is expanding today.

We’ve already seen pretty much all there is to see about the Pixel 10 series, but now a new pair of leaks are more clearly showing of the base Pixel 10 and the Pixel 10 Pro, and offering a pretty clear picture of what’s glossy and what’s matte on these devices.

Ahead of iOS 26 launching this fall, Apple Music for Android is beta testing version 5.0.0 with new features and design tweaks.

In addition to a bigger Charge 6 and tracker/smartwatch updates last week, Fitbit detailed some improvements to sleep tracking.

New findings reveal that Samsung’s upcoming One UI 8.5 update for Galaxy devices will likely make it easier to use gesture navigation on a new device, something Samsung is years behind the rest of the Android industry on.

With a little over two weeks until the announcement, a new Pixel 10 “Soon” teaser from Google heavily needles how Apple hasn’t been able to ship the Siri AI upgrades for the iPhone 16. 

Spotify announced that it would be increasing its Premium subscription pricing in a few key regions, but the hike, which seems clockwork-like, excludes the US.

Samsung’s engineering is brought into question every single year when a new foldable lineup comes out, and every year, things get just a little bit better. The brand-new Galaxy Z Flip 7 goes through the same torture tests, and it just won’t give in.

After announcing an expansion to bring satellite talk and text to users across the US, T-Mobile has officially purchased US Cellular. The company will absorb all existing customers and a handful of employees top continue expanding the existing network.

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 is reportedly making a hardware change to the benefit of mobile payments, with a second NFC antenna reportedly being added to the top of the device.

As we near the launch of Pixel 10, I’m getting some déjà vu with Google’s new devices, as the company has been pushing forward with its flagship phones for the betterment of the entire Android ecosystem, rather than just its own benefit. Sound familiar?

In July, Google finally launched a bottom address bar for Chrome on Android. Are you using it?

The US Google Store and other retailers have kicked off a $100 discount on the Pixel 9a that ends a few days before the Pixel 10 launch.

Back in June, Google introduced three new voices for the upcoming Gemini-Assistant revamp for the Nest Mini and Audio. Ahead of launch, Google has renamed most of them, but they otherwise appear to be the same.

The clear difference between Gemini and AI Mode will be an assistant. That’s already the case today, and what LLMs continue to make possible will only widen that gap. However, the similarities today make me wonder whether this is confusing for most users.

As previewed last November, Google Home for Android is giving the media controller a Material 3 redesign.
