Lenovo’s small Android tablet, the Legion Tab, has seen its price go up since its announcement and launch, with the price now landing at $549.99 for US buyers.

Samsung is rolling out new One UI 7 beta updates to the Galaxy S24 series as well as to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 which deliver fixes, upgrades, and more. Here’s what you need to know.

In the hype ahead of the Oppo Find N5’s launch, OnePlus broke everyone’s hearts with the announcement that it wouldn’t be releasing “Open 2” this year. However, it seems OnePlus does still have some new foldable in the works.

Google is expected to release the Pixel 9a later this week, but the leaks haven’t stopped as the device has now received the customary YouTube unboxing which has also seemingly confirmed that the modem inside isn’t on par with the rest of the Pixel 9 series.

It was revealed earlier this year that Pebble smartwatches may be making a comeback after Google released the source code for PebbleOS. The “RePebble” project promised new hardware – a Pebble reboot – with the backing of the original founder, and a new countdown has begun on a store.

Google has released the first Android Auto 14.0 update through its beta program and while there are no major user-facing changes, code behind the scenes continues work on temperature controls.

Google released a new Android 16 beta earlier this week and, hiding beneath the scenes, there are more new features and changes in the works including custom icon shapes for the app launcher, a revamped notification panel, and more.

We got our first look at the Pixel 10 series this week and it looks rather familiar, but Google is apparently planning to add a third camera to the base model, and that raises a lot of questions.

One of the downsides of RCS messaging for a while was a lack of support for end-to-end encryption but, now, the GSMA has announced that the latest update to RCS will add the long-awaited security layer, and both Google and Apple will support it.

Google is preparing support for “summarized” notifications in Android 16, as revealed by code in the third beta update.

Android 16 is recycling the same Easter egg from Android 15, which is also the same one from Android 14. But with its latest release, Google has added a new “autopilot” mode to the space-themed Easter egg which integrates with Android 16’s Live Update feature.

From just beyond its deathbed, the Chromecast with Google TV finally picked up its promised Android 14 update this week, and it seems that there are a handful of issues for those still using the streaming dongle.

After being revealed for its shady tactics late last year, Honey has updated its Chrome extension to no longer take credit for affiliate sales it didn’t earn, likely as Chrome policy now prevents such behavior.

It seems that Google is still working on a new design for the incoming call UI on its Phone app for Pixel and other Android devices, as another new UI has just surfaced.

Months after it started rolling out to other brands, Samsung is finally getting its Android 15 update together, with the One UI 7 beta now available for the Galaxy S23 series as well as the Galaxy Tab S10 series.

Foldable cameras are typically inferior compared to regular smartphones, but it’s been getting better. With its upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung is reportedly preparing a 200MP rear camera as well as a better camera for the inner display.

One of the annoying limitations of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series is that only a few apps work on the cover display out of the box. One UI 7 isn’t changing that, but it is making it much more obvious for Galaxy Z Flip owners to find out how to run apps on the cover display.
