"Pixel Watches are our next iteration of smartwatch for Fitbit,” a Google spokesperson revealed in an interview. Google acquired Fitbit in 2021, and except for two watches in 2022, the company has not released a smartwatch since. After two years of no new watch launches from Fitbit, its parent company confirmed that the Pixel Watch will absorb that department.

If leaks are correct, Samsung plans to make material changes to the Galaxy S24 FE, with an increased display size and upgraded internals. If you're a fan of Galaxy devices and can't wait for Samsung's next midrange installment, here's everything we know about the Galaxy S24 FE.

Earlier this summer, Google introduced the Fitbit Ace LTE, a new product specifically designed for kids ages 7 to 12. While there are plenty of wearable fitness trackers on the market — including smart watches for women, smart watches for men and smart rings — options tailored for children and tweens are understandably more limited.

Since the first model was announced 10 years ago, the Apple Watch has changed a lot. It’s gotten larger displays, new health features, more powerful chipsets, and more. It still serves the same general purpose of being an extension of your iPhone on your wrist, and it’s become one of the best smartwatches you can buy today.

Apple’s iPhone 16 launch event falls on a Monday (September 9th) this year, which is a first for the iPhone. Apple routinely holds its mid-September iPhone keynotes on the first Tuesday or Wednesday after Labor Day. This year’s event was expected for September 10th, but Apple probably moved it to September 9th to avoid next Tuesday’s presidential debate.
That’s the thing about iPhone launch events. They’re the most important attraction in tech every year in September. Most rivals stay away from sharing the spotlight with the iPhone. But this year will be different because one Chinese smartphone vendor is ready to...

Are people getting more high maintenance or is it just me? One thing that you can't deny is that CERTAIN people require a lot more TLC and attention, on the daily and especially during trying times. This applies to both platonic relationships and romantic. We usually call these people high maintenance because, well, they usually require (or demand!) all of your efforts and then some to be satisfied. These characteristics are closely linked to their zodiac sign temperament, so read on to see who is on the list!

5 Zodiac Signs that are the Highest Maintenance and Most Demanding

Samsung is the king when it comes to smartphone sales, recently reclaiming its number one spot from Apple. And over the past decade, it has built quite a reputation with its impressive Galaxy lineup, offering some of the best phones that are usually pretty reliable. Samsung recently launched its sixth generation foldables with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. And while these are some of the most refined foldables on the market, that doesn't mean things are going to be perfect, as there's always the chance that new and unforeseen issues can pop up.

Refined by New York chemist Robert Chesebrough almost 150 years ago, petroleum jelly is still widely used today in topical applications. Even with the myths that abound online about it being carcinogenic, it has withstood the test of time.

Apple is widely expected to replace the iPhone Plus variant next year with an ultra-thin iPhone 17. In the past few months, we’ve been calling it iPhone 17 Slim, iPhone 17 Ultra, and iPhone 17 Air as we adapted to what leakers said about it.
Considering the most recent iPhone 17 leaks, “iPhone 17 Air” might be the best designator for the handset. The ultra-thin iPhone will be a flagship device, but not the best iPhone 17 model Apple can offer in terms of power and performance. Reducing the thickness of the handset will force Apple to make some compromises.
We’ll have...

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny six-pound dog named Alistair who is looking for his forever home. At only one year old, this little boy is a sweet dog who is thought to be a Maltese, "but we can’t make any guarantees that he would be suitable for those with allergies," explains the nonprofit animal rescue.

The Google Play Store is probably the most trusted repository for Android apps. However, it has several limitations ranging from occasional malware-laced app uploads you can avoid if you're careful, to functional irritants like ads and app promotion carousels littered across the UI. One of the biggest complaints from users over the years has been the Play Store's sheer inability to update multiple apps simultaneously. It appears Google is finally fixing this limitation.

I've Covered Apple Watches for 9 Years: Here Are My All-Time Favorites

After announcing seven years of OS updates for its Galaxy S24 smartphones earlier this year, Samsung is doing the same for its TVs. If you have a Samsung TV from 2023 or later, the company will provide seven years of free updates for its Tizen OS, Business Korea reports. The updates will first be available for the AI-integrated TVs that launched in March 2024 and some TVs released in 2023. Samsung hasn't announced a list of models or a rollout schedule yet.

Since the 2018 Pixel 3, Qi wireless charging has been a staple feature of Pixel phones. On Pixel 6 and newer flagship models, Google's pricey Pixel Stand 2 enables wireless charging speeds of up to 23W. However, these phones will only pull 15W of power with a regular Qi charger. The Google Pixel Fold was the only exception, as its wireless charging speed topped out at a paltry 7.5W, irrespective of the charger used. The situation is even worse with the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, as it does not support the Pixel Stand (2nd gen) at all.
