We’re still more than a week away from Samsung’s Galaxy S26 trio hitting store shelves, leaving plenty of time for fans to take advantage of some solid pre-order deals. But if this year’s refined design and Privacy Display haven’t convinced you to upgrade, say, your aging Note 20 Ultra, our first S27 Ultra rumor suggests you might be better off waiting after all.

As per usual, Google is at MWC 2026 in Barcelona this week with its Android Avenue setup, including a host of adorable little Android figures all over the place, building an Android sign, as well as preparing for your chance to take Google’s Android XR glasses for a spin.

Ahead of its full launch later this week, Nothing just showed off the new colors of its Phone (4a) series at MWC 2026, in the most Nothing way possible.

While the Honor Magic V6 is the brand’s biggest announcement at MWC 2026, the Robot Phone and humanoid robot are perhaps the ones the company is more excited about. While no one has really had a chance to use the Robot Phone yet, Honor says it will launch the device later in 2026.

At MWC 2026, Qualcomm announced the premium Snapdragon Wear Elite for Wear OS and other AI form factors.

Qualcomm’s taking Mobile World Congress by storm, with a collection of networking-centric announcements set to lay the groundwork for the next decade of connectivity.

Following rumors swirling for quite some time, Motorola has announced a partnership with GrapheneOS that will see the privacy-focused, de-Googled version of Android pre-installed on upcoming Motorola devices.

Motorola’s new Razr Fold looked great when we didn’t know anything about it, but it just looks all the more attractive now. During a hands-on session at MWC 2026 this weekend, I was able to see more of the Razr Fold’s software suite, and it feels very much like it’s the perfect middle ground between the Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy approaches to book-style foldables.

Following a preview back at CES, Motorola is officially detailing the Razr Fold specs including a big 6,000 mAh battery and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset.

There are a lot of different types of laptops out there, but Lenovo wants to give you everything at once with its new ThinkBook modular PC concept, and I kind of love the idea.

Foldables have come a long way in the past few years, but outside of reinventing the flip phone and hiding a tablet within a smartphone, the concepts haven’t changed all that much. Lenovo, though, has a really clever idea in its new Legion Go Fold concept, which I really hope makes it to reality someday.

Following up on its first release in the States, Lenovo is back with a new Legion Tab, Gen 5, which brings back the compact 8.8-inch form factor but this time with a much bigger battery, new colors, and a way higher price too.

After leaking in regulatory documents earlier this year, the Motorola MA2 wireless Android Auto adapter has quietly made its debut, with a much lower price point.

Qi2 battery banks are perhaps one of the best accessories for a Pixel 10 owner, but finding one that’s compact while actually having a decent amount of power inside is not easy. But with the new PicoGo AM52 power bank, Baseus has built a 10,000 mAh Qi2 battery bank that just feels right.

The Galaxy S26 series as a whole isn’t anything all that groundbreaking, but if there’s one feature that should have your attention, it’s the Privacy Display on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. This feature is rightfully the standout addition to this year’s lineup and, after spending a busy couple of days in exactly the situation where Privacy Display is the most useful, there are a few things I think you should probably know.

Calling cards in Phone by Google let you personalize calls to your contacts with a fullscreen image. The Google Phone app is now adding the ability to set “your calling card” that other people will see. 

The Honor Magic V6 has arrived and, rather continuing to be obsessed with a thinner device, Honor took a new route in focusing in on a massive battery, because you’d never guess that this phone is nearing 7,000 mAh.

Xiaomi is kicking off MWC 2026 with the global debut of the Xiaomi 17 series, as well as a new Wear OS smartwatch and its first Find Hub tracker, among other things.

The Galaxy S26 series doesn’t have Qi2 magnets and the official excuse for why ignores the big picture.

Since launch, Gemini Live has primarily been a fullscreen experience, but Google is now rolling out a floating pill redesign on Android.

Pixel At a Glance is getting its first new information types in quite some time today with Sports and Finance.

The ability to build on short-form videos is a key part of the experience for many, but YouTube Shorts is now testing out a version of that which uses AI, with two abilities in the works.

Chrome on Android has offered a Reading mode for several years now, and Google is now significantly redesigning it.
