Google reportedly cancels Pixel Tablet 3

Android tablets haven't seen anywhere near as much success as Apple's iPads, and Google's wares are included in that assessment. The company gave up on tablets in 2019 before it teased the Pixel Tablet in 2022 and then released it last year, and now it looks like it's ready to give up on the form factor yet again. According to a new report supposedly coming from "multiple industry sources close to the project", Google has decided to cancel the development of the Pixel Tablet 3, codenamed internally as Kiyomi. The decision was apparently made last week, which is when all of the teams...

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE is coming in 2025, here are the details

Next year, Samsung will launch the Galaxy Z Flip7, the successor to the Flip6 which arrived this summer. But, according to a new rumor, it won't be the only flip phone Samsung releases in 2025.

Weekly poll results: OnePlus 13 can't come to global markets soon enough

With Gladiator II hitting theaters this week, there is only one way we can say this – the OnePlus 13 gets a massive thumbs up from the audience in the arena.

The good folks over at Android Authority spotted some references in the latest Gmail Android app to something called “Shield Email”. The concept is simple – Google gives you a temporary email address to give out to third parties instead of your actual email. Then, as you receive an email to your...

nubia Red Magic 10 Pro+ smashes AnTuTu with a chart-topping score

nubia just recently made the Red Magic 10 Pro and 10 Pro+ official. As per the announcement, both phones run what is denoted as the Snapdragon 8 Elite "Extreme Edition".
