When triggered, it warns users with a notification, sound, and vibration, offering a timely nudge to hang up before any damage is done. So far, this feature has been exclusive to Pixel devices, but it could soon make its way to phones from other brands, starting with Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 series.

Google has a long history of quietly building some of the most capable AI-based chatbots and services, but its newest experiment, called Project Genie, is unlike anything most of us have seen. Developed by Google DeepMind, Genie is a text-to-digital-world generator, if you will, capable of generating interactive digital environments. While we’ve been getting used to generating text, images, or even videos with short text-based prompts, Genie can quite literally convert a simple sketch, a photo, or even a concise prompt into a sandbox-style world on a computer you can move around in, through your own digital character.

Wearables are getting smarter every year, but most of them still lean heavily on a nearby smartphone to do the real thinking. That dependency may not last much longer.

Inside the chip that bends without breaking What makes FLEXI stand out is not just its computing ability, but…
