Rumors and reports have made it all but certain that Samsung will launch two models of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 this year, and now a new leak pinpoints the model number of the “Ultra” variant.

Google is rolling out Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2.1 today with a slew of bug fixes. It follows the last milestone nearly a month ago. You can install using the factory image or on-device OTA.

An ongoing lawsuit has questioned Google’s continued collection of browsing data from the Chrome browser’s incognito mode. Now, as part of a settlement for the case, Google has pledged to “destroy” that data.

As well as Gmail does to sort out promotional emails from the important messages, unwanted marketing noise still gets through. Fortunately, Gmail has an unsubscribe button built into the web and mobile app. Here’s how to use it.

Foldables are finally affordable now that Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 is $220 off, dropping the 512GB model down to $900. It comes joined by a 1-day sale on this 14-inch ASUS Chromebook Plus 2-in-1 at $330 as well as Google’s latest battery-powered Nest Video Doorbell at $130. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

Since the rebirth of Android with Material You, Google has been working on tons of first-party app widgets and we wanted to share some of the best.

Android 15 is still in its early days, but it’s looking like one visual revamp in the update could be a new design for the volume panel.

Especially in recent years, Google’s efforts in the smart home have received continued criticism, but looking at the current state of the Google Home app and Nest hardware, is that still deserved?

Sold as a useful option to help you quickly find things you’re viewing on your device, Circle to Search has only just rolled out to more devices over the past week. Here’s what you had to say about your daily use.

After doing bi-monthly recaps of new features for the past several years, YouTube Music will now detail launches on a quarterly basis.

The YouTube family of apps have their own design language compared to first-party Google applications. That trend is not changing anytime soon and continues today with a redesign of the custom share sheet in YouTube Music for Android.

I feel like a broken record at this point, but amid new leaks of the Pixel 9 this week, there are many still asking Google for a “Mini” device, forgetting that small phones are dead.

Google.com has historically been used to advertise new first-party hardware and features. We’re now seeing a “Try the new Google Pixel 8” message on the Search homepage that wants you to “Upgrade now.”

I wish Gmail and Google Calendar were built for consumers instead of businesses. That shift could make the suite of apps infinitely more useful. They are already vital in day-to-day use, but the target audience feels more like employees of a company than anybody else. 

Scrolling issues have been reported by some Google Pixel users for years now, with the issue resurfacing recently on Pixel 8. Now, though, Google claims that Pixel scrolling issues should be gone for good in Android 15.

Samsung is raising the price of its Galaxy protection plans, “Care+,” but also allowing customers to get unlimited replacements of their battery while they are subscribers.
