AI can be useful in a lot of places, but there are many scenarios where it doesn’t make sense. Amazon, having been stuffing its app full of AI lately, is now going to use AI to generate images of fake products as you type in search terms.

There’s been a lot of pushback in recent months around the impact of AI data centers on local communities, with the use of water being a key issue for many. Google, in an expension of its “water stewardship” programs, is making commitments that include replenishing more water than it uses at its data center sites.

A new leak reveals Microsoft’s next-gen Surface Pro that’s powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite and due to be released very soon.

Following some previous appearances, the entire library of Pixel 11 wallpapers have now made their way online, but they’re pretty subdued and, frankly, a little boring.

With coding having emerged as one of the best use cases for LLMs, Google is reportedly looking to train its AI models with code from actual Android app developers, but is at least paying them to do so.

Yet another Google Home update is now rolling out, bringing a Gemini-powered “Pet Memory” to Nest Cam owners, while also expanding on “Ask Home.”

Motorola is gearing up to launch its new Edge (2026) mid-range device with a US release coming later this month for $599, a higher price for a device with a refreshingly smaller display.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8, the wider one, continues to shape up to be a great addition to the lineup, with a new leak revealing that it fixes another problem with foldables – weight.

As rumored, Walmart has quietly debuted a collection of Onn-branded TV sets that are all powered by Google TV, with prices starting as low as $248.

If there’s one app I’ve always been jealous of from the iPhone, it’s Flighty, a super-useful flight tracker that not only logs your flight history, but puts all of the information you might need in a single place alongside a UI that’s far better than anything your airline is offering up. But it’s never come to Android. The launch of “Aviate,” though, is as close to “Flighty for Android” as I’ve seen.

Microsoft, Nvidia, and MediaTek are working together on “RTX Spark,” a new chip for Windows PCs that’s all about AI, but if you look beyond that, it sounds like it might still be a good chip in general.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8 is debuting a wider form factor we’ve not seen on Android in a few years and, ahead of its launch, the device has been spotted in the wild.

Later this year, Samsung Gallery will be completely ending its integration with Microsoft OneDrive but, months early, the app is already removing support.

According to a new report, Honor is trying to bring its Android phones to Canada, or at least it’s trying to find out if it can.

Prototype devices find their way to leaking in a variety of different ways, such as the infamous iPhone in a bar. Now, though, there’s been the finding of what appears to be a Pixel Watch 5 that was lost… in the ocean.

Further reflecting on Google’s practical focus for Gemini and AI in general at I/O 2026 last week, I still find myself struggling to find ways to actually make this technology useful in ways that actually matter. So, what are you doing with Gemini?

A new leak shows off the difference, in person, of the Galaxy Z Fold 8’s wider form factor versus the “Ultra” one we’re already used to.
