One of the best budget Android phones I've tested is not made by Samsung or OnePlus

Google has historically announced its new Android hardware in October, even if it didn't have much new to show. For instance, in 2020 it released the solitary Pixel 5, a basic mid-range phone—but 2024 is the polar opposite. Google has moved up its Pixel unveiling, and the company has a cornucopia of new hardware announcements. There are not one, not two, not three, but four new Pixel phones coming, plus earbuds and a smartwatch. It's a good time to be a Pixel fan.

Leaked images have given us a look at the rumored Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, which is expected to be announced in October, when it will compete with the Google Pixel 8a. Has it got what it takes to tempt us away from Google’s excellent low-cost phone? According to the images the new smartphone will be released in five colors: graphite, blue, silver/white, green, and yellow. Two Samsung website-exclusive colors are also expected to be announced.

A lawsuit that several artists filed against Stability AI, Midjourney, and other AI-related companies can proceed with some claims dismissed, a judge ruled yesterday. Many artists allege that popular generative AI services violated copyright law by training on a dataset that included their works and, in some cases, that users of these services can directly reproduce copies of the work. Last year, Judge William Orrick allowed a direct copyright infringement complaint against Stability, operator of the popular Stable Diffusion AI image generator. But he dismissed a variety of other claims and asked the artists’ attorneys to amend them with more detail.

If you want your next purchase from phone deals to be powered by Android, we highly recommend the OnePlus 12, especially now that you can get it with a discount through a direct purchase from OnePlus. The version with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage is currently priced the same as the version with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage at $800, for savings of $100 on its original price of $900. The offer may end at any moment though, so if you want this Android phone, you should complete your purchase quickly in order to pocket the savings.
