Google develops Android, the operating system found on over 3 billion devices, which gives it a strategic advantage to hook users on its Gemini-powered AI.

Pixel is “a good business” and important to the future of Google. But AI is what will win this race in the long term, Google says.

Google is set to launch the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro smartphones this week. It's a chance to build on the success of the Pixel 9 family and shape the smartphone future.

The AOD upgrade on the Pixel 10 should pair nicely with Android 16’s Live Updates. The latter displays real-time info from food delivery and ride-hailing apps on the lock screen and notification shade, making it easier to track your orders and rides at a glance. When tapped, a slick transition should take users from the AOD to the lock screen.

Here in 2025, there’s been even less motion on tablets from Google. Really, the only progress we’ve seen has been the Pixel Tablet Pen mysteriously surfacing recently. Would Google’s interest in pushing Chrome OS and Android together into a merged platform rekindle some of the old tablet love?

Google’s latest Pixel 10 phones, which were just announced today, don’t come with many external physical changes. The most tangible hardware addition across the lineup, in fact, is completely invisible: a set of magnets beneath the phones’ back panels.

G oogle has started rolling out its latest batch of Android 16 features to beta testers, including expanded support for dark mode and themed app icons. The QPR2 beta 1 was announced yesterday alongside Google launching the Pixel 10 series, and is expected to get a full public release sometime in December, according to Google’s release timeline.

The Pixel 10 Pro's hidden Thread radio is a crucial piece of future-proofing hardware for the smart home. More details here.

We went hands on with the Google Pixel 10 and one thing is clear: it offers the Pro pixel experience, without the Pro price.
