In a sign of the times (and where things are going), visiting google.com/ai now opens Google Search AI Mode.

Welcome to episode 68 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Abner, Damien, and Will break down their feelings towards Material 3 Expressive now that Android 16 QPR1 is finally out in the wild. Is this the best Android has ever looked? Will Samsung follow Google’s Material 3 Expressive rather than rushing towards a Liquid Glass-esque reality? Do we spend a large chunk of this episode breaking down how we’ve laid out our quick settings menus? That last one has an easy answer: you bet we do.

After announcing in May, Google Photos is now widely rolling out a major redesign of the image editor on Android.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold will be the first additional type of foldable that the company has debuted since the Galaxy Z Flip over 5 years ago. This is the second time that an official animation has shown exactly how Samsung’s three-sided device will fold and unfold, and it’s still wild to look at.

There hasn’t been a flood of foldables in 2025, but several large competitors have released entries. Namely, the Motorola Razr (2025) lineup comes to mind. According to recent market data, Motorola wiped the floor with Samsung.

Portable projectors are a dime a dozen these days — a quick glance at store listings on Amazon makes that painfully obvious — but TCL’s latest gadget manages to stand out thanks to its unique design.

The OnePlus 13 is one of my favorite smartphones of the year, in part because of a surprisingly excellent camera that — while perhaps not as reliable as the best from Google — can really impress in its best moments. Much of that performance comes from the company’s partnership with Hasselblad, employing the camera company’s color science to help make something that stood out from the typical ultra-processed, contrast-less landscape. Unfortunately, that relationship is coming to an end.

Following an early leak yesterday, a new set of renders has essentially confirmed that the Galaxy S26 Edge will look a lot like Apple’s next iPhone, while apparently also adding Qi2 magnets.

Starting today, the Roku Sports experience will start showing content from YouTube TV including NFL games via Sunday Ticket.

Following a leak last month, a new update to the Google Home app has surfaced with images and details about the company’s new lineup of Nest cameras.

Nothing has just confirmed that it will soon be launching Nothing Ear (3), its fourth-generation earbuds, are launching “soon.”

After a few generations faltering, Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 7 seems like a smash hit, with a new report revealing that Samsung is already needing to boost production just to keep up with demand.

In the wake of what seems like regular subscription cost increases, YouTube TV appears to be offering some users the chance to get $66 off two months of service, but the discount is hidden. Here’s where to find it.

Besides the actual phones last month, Google started selling limited-edition Pixel 10 merchandise.

This year, Google publicly focused on the serviceability of the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a. However, a Pixel 10 teardown reveals a new battery removal mechanism.

Earlier this year Tecno showed off a concept device called the “Spark Slim” which was aiming to offer a thin profile like Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge, but without the compromise in battery life. Now, just a few months later, that concept is now reality, with the Tecno Slim coming to market soon.

Following last week’s announcement, Google shared today how much of a hit Nano Banana has been for the Gemini app.

Xgimi is building on its popular projector lineup with the Horizon 20 series. The three new Xgimi Horizon 20 models, including the Max, offer high-end visuals with an aim at consumers, starting at $1,699.

Following last week’s big Google Translate update, Circle to Search on Android is now adding “Scroll and translate.”
