Remember the Pebble Time 2? The long-awaited, modern-looking Pebble that was supposed to launch in 2016 had the hearts of fans at the time, but was brutally killed when Fitbit bought the company, leaving the hardware to never actually ship. Finally, though, that dream is being realized as the “Core Time 2” will be launching later this year, and it has some big upgrades.

Just shy of nine years after their initial debut, Pebble’s second-gen smartwatches are officially making a comeback with the original founder’s new company, “Core Devices,” reviving the Pebble 2 and Pebble Time 2 as the Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2, shipping starting in July with updated hardware and the same appeal as the Pebble smartwatches that came before.

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.

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.
