After adding Gemini 2.5 Pro, Google is updating AI Mode with four big features across Search Live (video with Google Lens access), Canvas, and more.

As Galaxy S26 leaks have started to mound, one more added to the pile indicates that the Galaxy S26 Ultra could decrease in thickness. It might not get a bigger battery, but charging speed could increase up to 60W. That, among display, and camera changes, may prompt some excitement for the company’s most expensive slab phone.

Nearly a year after Google launched AI weather summaries on the Pixel 9 series, Pixel 8 users are starting to see those same reports slowly roll out to their devices.

It’s quite possible that the sudden and mostly unexpected Galaxy S25 Edge release was a precursor to a larger lineup change. Samsung is reportedly gearing up to launch a Galaxy S26 series with subtly different variation names, opting to use the “Edge” moniker in the flagship trio alongside a curious new Galaxy S26 “Pro” model.

Through evidence spotted in the latest Android Canary release, it looks like Google is preparing a new Pixel feature that would let users theme their homescreen icons using AI as well as their own custom styles.

Following the unveil at I/O 2025, Google is beginning to let AI Mode users share their camera in Search Live.

Like on the web, Google is rolling out a small redesign of the Gemini homepage and prompt bar on Android.

No phone launch is complete without one of JerryRigEverything’s durability tests, and that goes double for foldables. With the Galaxy Z Fold 7 now on store shelves, it’s time yet again for Samsung’s folding phone to go through a gauntlet of scratches, dust, fire, and of course, a bend test.

While its name might point to a mostly-abandoned push into the metaverse, Meta’s found itself in the midst of a wearable revolution, thanks to both its smart glasses partnership with Ray-Ban and, of course, the Quest lineup of VR headsets. Now, several years after initially cancelling its first-ever smartwatch, Meta might be looking to give wrist-based gadgets another go.

Google is rolling out the latest updates for the Fitbit Versa 4, Sense 2, Inspire 3, and Charge 6, which sees the biggest updates today.

As announced in May, Google has given its default QR code scanner on Android an appreciable redesign.

According to a new report, Google Pixel has settled into a #4 slot in the US smartphone market ahead of the Pixel 10 launch, though growth has cooled off a bit.
