The original Pixel Fold was a good start for Google’s foldable ambitions, but it didn’t age well and was quickly replaced by the drastically better Pixel 9 Pro Fold. But, if you’ve been itching to try a foldable without the crazy cost, the original Pixel Fold is a worthwhile start at its limited-time price of $599.

Right now, during Samsung’s boosted trade-in deals, the company is offering a brand-new Galaxy Watch Ultra model. Even though color and storage are all that’s changed, you can trade in your old Galaxy Watch Ultra and still lose money.

The flip phone market has a new entrant in Samsung’s more affordable Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE – short for “Fan Edition” – and, while that’s exciting in itself, I’m not sure Samsung’s option holds any ground up against the base Motorola Razr which, for 2025, is about as good as you could ask a more-affordable foldable flip phone to be.

Linkind is stepping up its game with the expansive EP6 Hexagon Light Panels, which combine precision app controls, auto-mapping capabilities, and far more flexibility in placement over traditional fixed-point designs. Things only get better with synchronization, as these panels can be integrated with the brand’s ET6 Smart TV Backlight, EL8 Light Strips, and more – all to help you create the perfect media center for your streaming and gaming sessions.

Google just announced the Android Canary release channel to replace the traditional developer previews. There are a lot of unknowns today, especially in regards to how often they will be released, but how’s everything new in the first Android Canary update.

Meta has a new generation of Ray-Ban smart glasses in the pipeline, and the designs have just leaked.

If your home has any of Belkin’s Wemo products, the connected devices will cease to operate in early 2026.

The Galaxy Watch 8 series offers a lot, whether you think it looks fantastic or not. Samsung’s pre-order event has Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic trade-in values boosted for a limited time. Here are the big takeaways.

Google today is “announcing a significant evolution in [its] pre-release program” for Android. Instead of Developer Previews, we’re now getting an Android Canary release channel. The goal is to “provide earlier, more consistent access to in-development features.”

YouTube launched the Trending page in 2015, and is now planning to retire it as people’s viewing and discovery habits have changed.

Ahead of the full Material 3 Expressive redesign, Phone by Google is widely removing the Favorites tab for users enrolled in the beta program.

After bringing Veo 3 to subscribers around the world last week, Google is now rolling out photo-to-video generation in the Gemini app. 

Unpacked came and went without an expected tease of its long-rumored tri-fold device, but it sounds like fans won’t be waiting too much longer to get our hands on it.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is an undersung achievement in Samsung’s latest foldable portfolio, with the flip phone delivering the first significant hardware improvement in years. It’s arguably as big of an update as the Fold 7, but Samsung’s stubborn refusal to give in has left that upgrade with an annoying asterisk.
