Google is adding several new features to Pixel phones with its latest March update, including the ability for its Gemini AI assistant to do things for you, like order groceries or book a ride. This feature, which was first shown off during Samsung’s Unpacked event last week, is rolling out now to the Pixel 10, […]
Google is rolling out an Android update that includes the ability to share the location of your missing luggage with an airline.

We’ve been talking to phone companies both big and small this week at MWC, and they’ve basically all agreed on one point: the RAM crisis is hitting hard, and phone prices will almost certainly increase where they haven’t already. For a major global brand like Xiaomi, volume is one lever the company can pull. To […]

The standard formally known as 6G is still being established, but it’s going to be a major topic of discussion at Mobile World Congress 2026, which gets started today in Barcelona. 5G arrived back in 2019, but also, did it, entirely?
