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.

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.

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…
