Google today surprisingly released a major 3.0 update for Snapseed that entirely redesigns the photo editing app on iPhone and iPad.

Following version 2.0 at Made by Google last year, the latest update to Pixel Magnifier introduces live text search.

Wear OS is unsurprisingly going all-in on the Watch Face Format introduced two years ago, with support for all other “legacy” types going away in early 2026.

If you’re struggling with Google services right now, you’re not alone as it appears that a partial outage is affecting many of the company’s various apps and services.

After a hint earlier this year, it has now been officially confirmed that Nothing Phone (3) will be sold in the US market, and with actual carrier support behind it too.

Meta AI is just another AI model among many popping up from existing and popular companies. What’s drawing people in, though, is the AI chatbot’s direct tie into Meta’s social apps people are already using to post, like Facebook and Instagram. It turns out that blurring that line between social and chatbot means people are asking a lot of personal questions, and they are all out in the open.

Earlier this year, “Pixel Sense” leaked as “predictive suggestions” for this year’s flagships. As the Pixel 10 launch nears, the latest leak reveals that it has been renamed to “Magic Cues,” while we have an actual example of what it can do.

Another place AI is marking a particular big impact is weather forecasting. Google is continuing its work in the area with a new Weather Lab website and experimental cyclone, or hurricane, predictions.

Recent leaks have cropped up, indicating that Samsung wants to release more Galaxy Watch 8 models than we thought. A new variant of the Galaxy Watch Ultra is included, and we have questions.

Following several leaks of the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and its new look, we’re finally getting a peek a that base Galaxy Watch 8 with new renders hitting the web.

Samsung’s next-gen Galaxy Z Fold devices appear to be launching next month. Right now, existing Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 units are on sale, and Samsung is looking to clear space for the influx of new units. That means substantial Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 discounts without a trade-in.

Google is apparently finally ready to adopt magnetic charging in the Pixel 10, but its Qi2 support will apparently not be baked into the actual hardware.

Before it kicked the bucket, Essential was teasing a radical new “Gem” smartphone that never came to market, but someone on eBay is currently selling quite a few of them.

Following its launch last month, Samsung has just rolled out the second One UI 8 beta while also expanding the program to some new regions around the globe.

While the Google TV Streamer isn’t the outright best Android TV box, it is a solid set-top box that is now a little more enticing as part of a limited Amazon sale.

With the launch of Android 16 earlier this week, Google did not release the Pixel hardware repos and device trees that are particularly important for custom ROM developers. This led to speculation by some that “AOSP is being discontinued.” Google has denied that, but the Pixel change does look to be intentional.

With Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2, the Pixel Launcher search bar is getting a redesign to match the Google app’s updated homescreen widget.

The first beta release of Android 16 QPR1 rolled out a redesigned lock screen with a “seen notifications” section. That newly introduced UI element has now been made a little bit better in Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2.

Along with updates for Pixel phones and the Watch this week, Google is rolling out new firmware for the Pixel Buds Pro 2 today.
