The Motorola Razr FIFA edition was announced earlier this year ahead of the World Cup, and it’s now available for purchase with some perks.

Well, that didn’t take long. After word of an early build of One UI 9 for Samsung’s upcoming foldables leaked out, we’re getting our first look at what the company’s wider Galaxy Z Fold 8 variant might look like, and in a twist, it’s even wider than Google’s original Pixel Fold.

Quick Share, Google’s version of AirDrop for Android, seems to be moving towards the removal of its always-on “Everyone” sharing mode, moving closer to iOS.

Samsung’s feeling reinvigorated in the foldable game. After catapulting itself back into the conversation with last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, the company recently launched a tri-fold model that, despite its sky-high price, can’t seem to stay in stock. We know Samsung is working on at least two additional book-style foldables for later this year, and now, its wider alternative is showing up with a fresh One UI 9 build.

Samsung may have been a little too ahead of its time when it announced plans for a smart home robot powered by, you guessed it, AI. The product appears to have been shelved, as Ballie vanishes from Samsung’s website.

Google has confirmed a Pixel 10a launch on February 18, and now a detail list of the phone’s specs have leaked, showing exactly how it differs – and how it doesn’t – from the Pixel 9a.

YouTube is running a test where you might not get notifications for a channel even if you’ve subscribed for “all” notifications.

After introducing text-to-speech in August, Google Docs is now rolling out audio summaries. 

The vast majority of Google’s Android apps have switched to a short bottom bar. Google Photos was the big exception, but we now know it’s moving to a floating toolbar, starting on iOS. 

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra is rocking the same 5,000 mAh battery as the past five generations of the company’s most high-end flagship, and it’s being beaten by Samsung’s cheapest smartphone, the Galaxy A07.

Sony officially released its flagship WF-1000XM6 earbuds with what appears to be a plethora of thoughtful touches, including 32-bit audio processing reserved for high-end earbuds.

Deep Think is Gemini’s “specialized reasoning mode,” and Google today announced a “major upgrade” to let it “solve modern challenges across science, research, and engineering.” 

Months on from the original launch, the honeymoon is over, but do we still have that “spark” with the Pixel Watch 4? Discounts have been forthcoming, but with six or so months before we get a follow-up, just where did Google do well, and do poorly? Here is everything you need to know.

The new Google Maps custom car icons have been available for a year, and more recently, the existence of custom icons in the Android Auto build. A new APK teardown report alleges that Google is preparing to bring that car color and icon picker to Android Auto displays, too.

Our smartphones and tablets continue to get better at gaming, and now there’s a big new title available. As of today, the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider has arrived on Android (and iOS) for $19.99.

Cloud gaming has been on a tear, with Nvidia at the forefront, with compatibility changes a frequent occurrence. The latest addition is Fire TVs, with an app coming to users on Amazon’s OS.
