Following the acquisition and Pixel Watch, Google is now thoroughly redesigning the Fitbit companion app on Android and iOS with Material You.

The new Galaxy Watch 6 series has arrived with the revival of the “Classic” model that brings back the fan-favorite rotating bezel, and it’s better than ever, but the big upgrade might just come from the thinner hardware.

Samsung’s latest foldable smartphones have arrived in the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5, and they’re very iterative. Here’s what’s actually new and what you should care about in any capacity on Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5.

Foldable cases have improved drastically since the first couple of generations, and you’ll find more and more brands making them too. But it’s still very much worth looking at how those cases work in actual use. Over the past couple of days, I’ve been using Bellroy’s case for the Google Pixel Fold; I’m blown away at how very extremely not good this case is.

The Nothing Phone (2) is a smartphone from a company with huge ambitions and grand visions, and much of that narrative bleeds over into how people often talk about the device. After almost two weeks with Phone (2), though, I’ve really come away with just one conclusion – this is just a really good phone, nothing more.

Sometimes smart home tech results in the thought, “Why does anyone need this?” But in other cases, the benefits are abundantly clear, even if they aren’t always fully realized. Garage door openers are one of those pieces of smart home gear that fit into the latter, and over the past few weeks, the Tailwind system I’ve been using alongside Google Home has not only hit my expectations but has also gone above and beyond.

Flip phones were once a relic of the past, but the arrival of foldable smartphones has given new life to the form factor. And, now, the 2023 Motorola Razr+ is showing the modern flip phone at its best.

When does a Chromebook become more than “just a Chromebook?” That’s the question that Google has set out to answer with its upcoming “Chromebook X” program for high-quality laptops and tablets.

I’d like to believe that Google’s modern hardware division could have released a tablet primarily for content consumption – like the Nexus 7 – at any time since its inception in 2016 but just chose not to. Made by Google’s high-level MO is to add unique aspects to its products. On the Pixel Slate, that was deemed to be productivity, and it did not work. In trying again with the Pixel Tablet, Google clearly still believes it needs something unique, and that’s how we have a Nest Hub Smart Display UI sitting – literally – on top of Android.

Google is about to start shipping its first Android tablet in years, the Pixel Tablet. But, all the way back in 2015, Google launched the Pixel C, an Android tablet that was way ahead of its time. Let’s take a look back on it.

As it continues to bolster its smart home experience, the Google Home app is adding support for a “Script Editor” that supports more advanced automation routines. The functionality is rolling out this week, and we’ve had an early chance to try it out.

After countless leaks lately, the Motorola Razr (2023) and Motorola Razr+ have arrived, with new hardware, impressive features, and more. After spending some time with both phones this week, I feel they’re the foldable flip phones that finally nail the vision of what this form factor should be.

Google Chat, the company’s Slack and Microsoft Teams competitor, looks to be getting an overhaul in the near future that features a new logo and “Timeline”-focused redesign of the mobile apps.

In using the future of Google for the past few days, I’ve had some takeaways about the AI-powered Search Generative Experience (SGE). It’s early days for SGE, but I think the fundamentals are set in stone: Most people for most queries will find generative Search useful.

Android smartwatches have been in a rough state for years now as they’ve watched the Apple Watch become an absolute juggernaut to compete against. But the debut of Wear OS 3 and some proper hardware has breathed new life into Google’s efforts and has also now given us the TicWatch Pro 5, a powerhouse smartwatch that literally outlasts the competition.

Google is preparing to launch Wear OS 4 this fall, and one of the most significant additions is Material You, which makes your smartwatch more colorful to match your current watch face.

High-end Chromebooks used to be a tough product to recommend, but years of advancement in ChromeOS and the changing world of work have left the form factor a pretty desirable product for many. HP has offered many Chromebooks with high-end specs, but it wasn’t until the Elite Dragonfly that we saw a true flagship, which was unfortunately wildly expensive. But now, there’s an easy recommendation for the best high-end Chromebook, the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook.

Joining the absolute fray of Google I/O 2023 announcements today is Android 14 Beta 2 for Pixel.

Ahead of Google I/O 2023, we went hands-on with the Pixel Fold and Tablet. Both are first-generation products, but one — surprisingly — ends up feeling less so than the other.

Last year Walmart shocked many with the launch of its super-affordable Onn-branded Android TV streaming devices, and now the retailer is back with a new generation. The new Walmart Onn Google TV box is insanely affordable and, like its predecessor, shockingly fantastic for its under-$20 price point.

ADT and Google have been working behind the scenes for years now on a new partnership that, finally, has resulted in a new “DIY” security system. But, after getting started with “ADT Self Setup” as a Nest Secure owner, I’ve quickly learned that owners are going to be incredibly disappointed with this transition.

Android tablets have earned, rightly, a reputation of being middling and not as good as their Apple counterparts. With its first tablet, the OnePlus Pad, OnePlus isn’t making any groundbreaking changes to that reputation, but at the very least, this is a pretty good Android tablet on the whole.

Smartphones are entering a new era, with something new appearing alongside the slabs we’ve become so used to. Foldables have shown their worth, and are growing quickly, but on the other side, there are rollable phones, which have yet to hit the market. This week at Motorola’s HQ, I had a chance to try out the Motorola “Rizr” rollable concept, and it really showed the potential of this technology.

“Now Playing” made its debut on Google’s second Pixel series and, in the time since, has continued to be one of many features that add a bit of delight and utility to Google’s software. Now, Google is working on expanding “Now Playing” on Pixel to include a new “Summary” page that breaks down songs you’ve heard.
