Google issued a brief statement on its blog this week, promoting the security of Gmail following erroneous online claims of mass warnings sent to end users.

After the initial wave of M3 Expressive, the Gmail for Android redesign continues by placing each email in a container.

Amid a number of price hikes in recent years, YouTube TV is reportedly looking to introduce a new “Sports & Broadcast” package for subscribers, but the details, and whether or not it might happen at all, are still a bit murky.

Samsung’s stable One UI 8 rollout with Android 16 should be starting any day now and, ahead of that, a bunch of new Galaxy phones have been updated to gain access to the beta program or get a revised version.

One of the most controversial changes in the Pixel 10 series – at least for US users – is the switch to an eSIM-only setup. For many, that might mean the first time ever using eSIM and it begs the question, how did that go for you?

Welcome to episode 67 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Abner, Damien, and Will reconvene after a week with the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL to talk about their respective experiences.
