It has been almost 30 days since Google officially launched the Pixel 11 lineup, and the 11 might be the most sensible device of the bunch. Here’s what I have learned, having used it for the full month post-launch.

Google is graduating game support on Android Auto from a limited beta to broad availability, allowing developers to bring games to your car’s display.

Right on schedule, Nothing is releasing Nothing OS 5.0 open beta for the Phone (4a), Phone (3a Pro, and Phone (3a) before the company’s official Android 17 release next month.

Oppo has just held its launch of the Find X10 series in its home region of China, with a global launch to come for the new devices.

Samsung appears to be delaying the rollout of its Android 17 update, at least slightly, with pushback in some regions.

Months after it arrived on iPhone, Adobe Premiere’s mobile version is now available on Android devices with layered video editing, templates, foldable optimization, and more.

Good morning. Today I’m bumping to Carly Rae Jepsen’s new double album (it’s great!), wishing I had more kidneys so I could afford the new M5 Ultra Mac Studio, marveling at Astra’s ability to decrypt 100-year-old WWI cyphers, and counting down the days until I can play Control Resonant.

The monthly “Google System Release Notes” primarily detail what’s new in Play services, Play Store, and Play system update across Android phones/tablets, Wear OS, Google/Android TV, Auto, and PC. Some features apply to end users, while others are aimed at developers.

Apple’s iPhone Duo may not have reinvented the Android foldable, but it certainly did put a polish on a number of things. Inlcuded in that list is stylus support on the iPhone Duo, something that was more complicated behind-the-scenes than it initially sounded like, and an effort that Samsung should probably take note of.

Following a mediocre teaser back in May, Googlebook is officially here and, well, I’m still pretty skeptical. I’m not sure I see Google’s vision of this new lineup or laptops because, frankly, I’m not solving any of the problems Chromebooks already faced.

Xiaomi has confirmed support for the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s Privacy Display on the upcoming Xiaomi 18 Pro, and it apparently does a lot more than Samsung’s implementation of the feature.

The initial batch of Googlebook laptops that debuted earlier today use either Intel or Qualcomm chipsets, but MediaTek has confirmed it will also be backing the platform with the debut of its flagship laptop chip, the Dimensity CX C10 Max, which will show up in an incoming Lenovo Googlebook.

OnePlus has officially revealed the design of the OnePlus 16, a device that’s likely not going to be available to many of the customers who were previously able to buy OnePlus flagships.

Google Chrome extensions are reportedly taking too long to load on macOS devices, when they should reasonably only take a couple of seconds, due to a bug in the latest updates. Google is aware of the issue.

Following last week’s Feature Drop, Pixel VIPs 2.0 is beginning to roll out, and it brings more changes than just the widget redesign.

Ahead of more information coming tomorrow, Motorola has teased its wild-looking “Signature 27” phone on social media.

After a protracted wait, the first wave of Googlebooks is now official. Having spent a brief period testing, here’s what it’s like to use one.

An overwhelming sense of familiarity struck me the first time I used a Googlebook. That was immediately followed by a realization that this is just Android, and I think that feeling of similarity will go a long way in justifying and ultimately selling Googlebooks.

Following the May preview, Google today fully announced Googlebooks ahead of the consumer launch in October.

This month’s stable release of Android 17 QPR1 comes with some unexpected status bar icon changes on Pixel.

Smart glasses are such a logical, futuristic step in mobile tech, and it’s one we’re on the cusp of being able to embrace. Yet, there’s a huge hurdle to overcome. For as useful and enjoyable as it is, the camera on smart glasses has become a massive problem, and it’s basically ruined existing smart glasses for me personally.
