Google today announced the Pixel 9a as its mid-range phone for 2025. We’ve had some hands-on time and it feels like its own design compared to past Pixel devices. 

Since launch, the Gemini app has required that you sign in with your Google Account to access. That’s no longer the case.

After rolling out to a third of available devices two weeks ago, the Wear OS 5.1 update is now available for the LTE Pixel Watch 3 and 2, as well as the original Pixel Watch.

Remember the Pebble Time 2? The long-awaited, modern-looking Pebble that was supposed to launch in 2016 had the hearts of fans at the time, but was brutally killed when Fitbit bought the company, leaving the hardware to never actually ship. Finally, though, that dream is being realized as the “Core Time 2” will be launching later this year, and it has some big upgrades.

Following last week’s model updates, Google is rolling out Audio Overviews and a new Canvas tool to the Gemini app. 

Just shy of nine years after their initial debut, Pebble’s second-gen smartwatches are officially making a comeback with the original founder’s new company, “Core Devices,” reviving the Pebble 2 and Pebble Time 2 as the Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2, shipping starting in July with updated hardware and the same appeal as the Pebble smartwatches that came before.

Samsung is set to release two new flip phone foldables this year, but the “Galaxy Z Flip FE” is reportedly launching “months” after the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
