After teasing its next budget-friendly phone earlier this month, Google today officially lifted the covers off the newest member of its Pixel 10 lineup. The all-new Pixel 10a arrives largely as expected, offering a modest refresh over the Pixel 9a with only a couple of subtle design refinements and incremental spec upgrades rather than a sweeping overhaul. For the most part, the Pixel 10a sticks closely to its predecessor, so let’s start with what’s new. The phone drops the plastic ring around the rear camera module, allowing it to sit even more flush with the back panel for a cleaner,…
Google is expanding the multimodal capabilities of Gemini, once again. Following the success of the viral Nano Banana image generator, the company is releasing Lyria 3, an AI model that can generate music. Google says you can get started with your words and describe what kind of music you want to generate, and the model will comply. Alternatively, you can feed it a picture or even a video, and Lyria 3 will generate a “high-fidelity track,” with custom lyrics in tow. “From funny jingles to lo-fi beats, you can create custom 30-second soundtracks for any moment,” says the company. Lyria…

NotebookLM is leaning harder into presentations, and the latest slide deck update targets the parts that usually slow you down. You can now revise slides with a prompt, and you can hand the finished deck off as a PowerPoint-ready PPTX file. That combination turns the Google studying tool from a quick generator into something closer to a drafting workspace. Build the structure from your notes, then refine it without rebuilding slides by hand. When you need to share or present, you don’t have to re-create everything in another app. Because you wouldn’t let it slide… these are rolling out today…
Cyberpunk 2077 on Android just crossed a line that used to belong to tech demos and wishful thinking. In a recent ETA PRIME video, the game runs on a phone without cloud streaming and without a nearby PC doing the heavy lifting. The setup relies on PC emulation layers, including GameHub and WinLater, to translate x86 games so they can run on ARM phone hardware. It’s starting to look like a repeatable recipe instead of a one-off stunt. ETA PRIME used a Red Magic 11 Pro, which they call the most powerful Android phone it has tested so far. The…

Samsung wants you to shoot, make fixes, and share from one place, so your phone feels like a camera and an editor at the same time. Samsung says the reveal happens at Galaxy Unpacked in February 2026. The livestream is scheduled for Feb. 25 at 10 a.m. PT, and the company…
Google set Google I/O 2026 for May 19 to 20, and it’s making AI the headline from the start. The company’s save the date messaging puts Gemini front and center, with Android, Chrome, and Google Cloud called out as the core places those updates should land. If you’re watching Google I/O 2026 AI announcements to guide product choices, the real news is in the framing. Google is treating AI not as a side stage topic, but it’s positioning model upgrades and developer tools as the throughline that connects the rest of the platform story.
