Tonight’s game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks isn’t just a Super Bowl LX rematch — it’s also the official start of the 2026 NFL season.

Following the September 2026 Android Drop announcement last week, Google Messages is widely rolling out its new Keep Notes integration.

Samsung has a killer deal on its Galaxy Z Fold 8 foldable, with a new discount taking the price down to $1,599 with a free Galaxy Watch included in the deal, though there is one slight catch.

New reports coming from industry sources close to Samsung suggest the smartphone maker will equip not just the Galaxy S27 Ultra with its Privacy Display panels, but the Galaxy S27 Pro, as well.

Samsung has been pushing the foldable market ahead for several years now and, arguably, makes some of the best foldable devices out there. But Apple is about to make its long-awaited debut with the first iPhone foldable, and Samsung has some advice.

Dbrand is launching a new brand, “MNML,” which is built around offering thinner, subtle cases for popular smartphones including select Google Pixel models.

Following last week’s Android Drop, Google is now rolling out an app update that brings the “Remembered” tab to Find Hub.

Boox offered some wandering the halls of Messe Berlin at IFA 2026 the opportunity to check out its most exciting upcoming release – a tiny e-reader called the “Picco” that you could probably pocket and take anywhere.

As previewed earlier this year, Google Chrome is now operating on a two-week release cycle.
