Foldables opened the door to a whole new world of smartphones just a few years ago, but somehow the entire Android market has settled into just two form factors – clamshell flip phones and book-style devices that just open up to double the width of a normal smartphone screen. As the inevitable “iPhone Fold” approaches, though, it seems Apple is looking to revive a form factor that Android brands, including Google Pixel, once tried, but failed to keep around, and there’s a clear reason why that happened.

We know Samsung has another round of earbuds coming soon, likely timed with next week’s Galaxy S26 unveiling. Ahead of Unpacked, we’re getting our first look at dummy units for both the Galaxy Buds 4 and 4 Pro, and they’re really driving home how Samsung has heard all of your AirPod comparisons.

The Pixel 10a is now available for pre-order, but depending on your situation, the Google Store might not be the best place to pick one up.
