“I think your black and white question is, are you going after a phone? A lot of people want me to say no, but a lot of people want me to say yes, I get it. Here's my take: it's not necessarily [that] we're going after a phone, no.”

Gemini Intelligence can automate multi-step tasks for you, and navigate the tasks too. And with visual context, Gemini can instantly act. For example, a grocery list on your screen can easily be turned into a shopping cart with all the items for delivery. Or if you see a travel brochure you can ask Gemini to find a tour like that on Expedia for a group of six. While Gemini works in the background on tasks like these you can track its progress live through a notification. When it's done, you only need to give it a final confirmation.
Sony hasn't detailed the specs sheet of the Xperia I VIII yet, but thanks to leaked renders, we know what the smartphone will look like. It will feature a notchless display on the front and sport a triple-camera setup on the rear, aligned in an upside-down L layout.
Sony is getting ready to introduce a refreshed version - meet Sony's The ColleXion headphones. These are supposedly coming in the near future in two colors, black and white. They seem to have a different hinge compared to the WH-1000XM6, and the cup material could be different too.
Pixel phones are the closest thing to iPhones in the Android realm. They're made by the same company that designs the operating system, and they run a relatively clean version of Android, as envisioned by Google. Like iPhones, Pixel phones are the first to receive software updates, as Google controls the OS rollout. While Google has been refining the Android experience and appearance for its Pixel phones over the years, Pixel phones still get some criticism from longtime users, including a complaint about the home screen experience.
End-to-end encrypted (e2ee) messaging is an important privacy feature that makes users far less susceptible to surveillance by hackers, governments, or the companies that make these communication platforms. When these messages are sent between devices, they're encrypted while in transit, making it near-impossible for anyone else to intercept and read the message. But until now, messages sent between iPhone and Android devices could not be end-to-end encrypted (e2ee), even though iMessage has been encrypted since its launch in 2011, and Android users have been able to communicate among themselves via e2ee since 2021.
With the new app, during the onboarding process, you will be able to set whether you want your posts to be viewable by everyone by default, only by your friends, or viewable only to you. This is important because a lot of people may not know that the default has so far been sharing with everyone.
Samsung officially released its stable One UI 8.5 update globally, after a pilot run in South Korea. The Galaxy S25 series is not the only one to get the new software. Owners of Galaxy S24 and S23 devices (including the Fan Edition series) should also expect the update in the coming days.
We start with the Samsung Galaxy S26. The base model - which finally features 256GB of storage instead of 128GB - is €165 off. There's the option to upgrade to 512GB, which also involves a discount voucher. All three S26 phones follow the same pattern - straight discount for a 256GB model, discount + voucher for the 512GB model.
