As is tradition, a recent spate of leaks have ruined just about everything about the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and even the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. This hasn't deterred Google from showing off its upcoming flagship in a promotional video. Here, we get to see the Pixel 9 Pro for the first time, at least in official capacity.

Midrange phones are more competitive than ever, and their performance and battery life make us wonder why we spend $1,000+ on flagship devices. Phones under $500 used to include drab displays, awful build quality, and hardly any software support. But recently, even budget devices have featured OLED displays and years of software support. With so many high-quality options close in price, even a small discount can make a big difference.

Nothing has first teased the Phone 2a Plus this Monday, and now, the company has confirmed that the new smartphone will be launching on July 31. The brand didn't share much about the device other than saying it would be "Plus. More. Extra." But as it's a part of the A-series, you can expect it to launch with an affordable price tag.

Samsung touted its Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra as a laptop replacement and charged laptop prices for the 14.6-inch Android tablet. While it is certainly a premium device, many fans baulked at the idea of paying so much for a device that is still limited by the Android operating system. Fortunately, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is on sale at Best Buy for $649.99 — a whole $450 less than its usual $1,099.99 retail price.

A recent Geekbench listing showed the Galaxy Tab S10+ running a Dimensity 9300+ SoC, making it the first high-end Galaxy tablet in recent history to run MediaTek hardware. A subsequent leak told us that Samsung plans to axe the vanilla Galaxy Tab S10, leaving just the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and Tab S10+. Now, Ice Universe has revealed an important detail about the duo, and no, it does not involve Exynos.

We've known for a while that is . While the company says it has been integrating that into various aspects of the voice assistant, it's also working on a more advanced version of Alexa that it plans to charge users to access. Amazon has reportedly dubbed the higher tier "Remarkable Alexa" (let's hope it doesn't stick with that name for the public rollout).

The Pixel Watch 2 (curr. $269.99 on Amazon) still remains Google's current smartwatch following its release last October. However, the company has already confirmed plans to host a new 'Made by Google' event next month, where it tends to unveil new hardware like smartphones, earbuds and smartwatches. To that end, there is now plenty of evidence that Google has created four new Pixel flagship smartphones, which it will all sell under the Pixel 9 series.

Xiaomi's Smart Band 8 is getting a successor, the Xiaomi Smart Band 9. Per the latest announcements, it will launch on July 19 in China.

We joke that OEMs leak their own products to drum up interest, but Google isn't even trying to hide it anymore. We already knew about a Pixel 9 event scheduled for August 13, and we've long expected to see a sequel to the Pixel Fold around that time. We also heard rumblings that Google would shake up the naming scheme for its foldable line this year, and Google just went ahead and confirmed all of that with a new teaser video.
