Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series was expected to deliver on a few key upgrades that were long overdue, but that all went out the window last year when Samsung apparently decided to go all-in on avoiding a price hike. Despite killing those upgrades, though, leaks suggest that the price is going up anyway.

Google has steadily released new Android Canary builds since July, and now has a new dedicated community for the program on Reddit.

The 2025 smartphone market ended on a high note, acting as the calm before the storm with brands including Google Pixel, Nothing, and Honor being among the fastest-growing smartphone brands of the year.

IKEA’s smart home tech gets a lot of the basics – including price – right, but Matter connectivity issues are a downer on the whole experience, including some problems with the newfound button compatibility in Google Home that isn’t working right for some.

At the Super Bowl — sorry, I mean “Big Game” — this Sunday, Google is airing an ad all about the Gemini app. 

Just in case you own the book and subscribe to Spotify Premium, the music streaming giant is adding a feature called “Page Match.” It’s essentially Google Lens for finding your place in the audiobook using a picture of your actual book.

Google surprised us all yesterday with an official confirmation of the Pixel 10a ahead of its February 18th preorder date, but beyond a couple of images, we don’t have much actual information to work off. Luckily, it’s a Pixel phone, which means all four of Google’s new colorways have already leaked in fresh renders.

Rising manufacturing and RAM prices have affected nearly all corners of the gaming and tech markets, and even Valve, the giant behind Steam, isn’t immune. Valve still can’t say when the Steam Machine will start shipping and for what price, but it’s still aiming for the first half of 2026.

After launching on the Pixel 10 series last year, Google has teased that AirDrop support via Quick Share will be coming to more Android phones, with announcements coming “very soon.”

Lenovo’s compact lineup of gaming tablets struck a chord on their wide release in early 2025, but the sequel was never made available outside of China. Now, another new Lenovo gaming tablet with an 8.8-inch screen is in the works with the latest Snapdragon chip and a huge battery upgrade.

As we predicted, Samsung’s new Galaxy S26 series will reportedly not have built-in Qi2 magnets, instead relying on a case to add the functionality that is required for several of Samsung’s new accessories.

Alphabet today announced Q4 2025 earnings with $113.8 billion in revenue. These numbers range from October to December and wrap up the fiscal year.

After months of leaks, renders, and just a little bit of head-scratching, the Pixel 10a is finally official. While we’ll have to wait until a more complete unveiling to learn about its specs, those same leaks have done a pretty good job in painting a picture of a very familiar A-series launch from Google. Assuming everything we’ve heard about the Pixel 10a is true, if you have any interest in grabbing a new budget phone this year, picking up a Pixel 9a right now is going to save you an easy $100 without making much of a sacrifice.

Google this morning officially announced the Pixel 10a via a video teaser emphasizing the updated design.

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 trio is shaping up to be an interesting launch — it’s just that the phones themselves aren’t actually the interesting part. We already know that a lot of what could’ve made the S26 lineup different from its predecessors has been thrown out the window thanks to failed concepts and stiff competition. Now, Samsung needs to try to tease a lineup that appears unchanged even by this brand’s own standards, and so far, it’s a bit of a mixed bag.

The Galaxy S21 series will no longer get quarterly updates from Samsung as it reaches the end of its supported life.

Ahead of its launch, the Google Pixel 10a has just leaked in a collection of official-looking images that show off the phone in a blue, “Indigo”-like colorway. Except, we weren’t actually expecting this color option.

It’s been clear for a while that Google is working to let Gemini control your Android phone, and we now have some details on how this “screen automation” will work.
