As part of bringing Gemini (models) to Assistant on the Nest Mini and Audio, Google is adding more natural voices. Following the initial seven options added in December, Google recently introduced three more voices.

In addition to today’s One UI 8 Watch beta release, Samsung’s keeping the train rolling with a third beta release for One UI 8, complete with a new trick for Now Brief.

Only a few Google services offer Apple Watch clients, with Google Calendar unexpectedly becoming the fourth app today.

At the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) 2025 conference, Google today announced the latest Gemini, Workspace, and Chromebook features for education.

Wear OS 6 is now available for the Galaxy Watch series in the form of Samsung’s One UI 8 beta update. The new software will offer a few changes, including serious health suite features.

Well after its initial announcement, Samsung has finally released the first One UI 8 Watch beta, based on Wear OS 6, for the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra.

A ton of leaks have detailed many of the new updates to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, but there are still some details that haven’t yet come to light. In a new post, though, we’re getting a few new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and even more Flip 7 tidbits regarding the core specs of each device.

AI has taken over basically everything in tech. Whether it’s search, social media, or basically every other app on your phone, AI is just everywhere. It demands your attention and is often not optional, but Google Photos just showcased an increasingly rare example of building out AI features with a sense of compromise and care for the end user.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 is already going to be a big upgrade for its improved outer display, but it seems the device is also set to adopt a thinner overall profile based on the latest leaked image.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 is quickly approaching its launch date, with the foldable breaking cover yet again this weekend with a new image showing off the thin design from a new angle, as well as reiterating the return of a hole punch camera.

With less than two weeks to go until Unpacked, every Galaxy Z Flip 7 leak seems to agree on one thing: Samsung is finally delivering on a larger cover screen for its 2025 flip phone. It’s what Samsung fans have been asking for since the Moto Razr+ launch last year — and the arrival of Motorola’s successor models last month. This change should feel like as large of a leap forward as you can find in smartphones, and yet, without some crucial changes to One UI, I’m not sure it’s going to be enough to steal back the Razr’s flip phone crown.
