Have you ever noticed how your phone just… doesn’t last like it used to? One day, it’s going strong, and the next, it’s dying before dinner—without warning, without explanation. If you’ve ever felt that frustration, you’re not alone. And until now, Android hasn’t given users a reliable way to check what’s going on under the hood.

Until now, most foldable phones have come in two forms. They either open wide like a book, or they're smaller squares that open vertically like an old flip phone. The Huawei Pura X is something different, a small phone that opens wide like a wallet. W

Samsung's S Pen is a digital stylus packing Wacom technology that first appeared on the original Galaxy Note in 2011. You can now find one tucked away inside every Galaxy S Ultra—but I feel its natural home is on a line of phones that doesn't actually come with an S Pen: the Galaxy Z Fold series.

Google's Pixel 9 Pro is now on sale at a 20% discount, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a top-notch Android smartphone. This price cut really boosts its value, but it's not going to last forever.

I manually search for apps in the Play Store all the time, but I can't remember the last time the Play Store introduced me to an app I hadn't already heard of. The store is terrible at this vitally important part of its job.

If you can't splurge for a Google Pixel Watch, Google's Fitbit sub-brand is an amazing option if all you need is something to track your workouts. The Fitbit Inspire 3 is the cheapest in the lineup, but it's still pretty good, and it has just hit a new all-time low price, so you better act quickly.

The Pixel Tablet is still yet to see a successor, but it remains one of the best Android tablets your money can buy. If you don't really want to go for an iPad, you can grab one of these at a record-low price, just for today.

Over a year ago, I started using my phone as my PC, relying on Android desktop modes in conjunction with a lapdock or external monitor. I no longer own a conventional computer. Here's what I miss most.

Wondering about the missing always-on display (AOD) customization features on your Samsung Galaxy phone? You're not alone. The options aren't in the AOD settings menu anymore. So where are they? Let's find out.

Announced within the space of a month, the Google Pixel 9a and iPhone 16e are premium mid-range phones that come in under the $600 mark. If you're in the market for a high-quality but somewhat affordable device, these will likely be at the top of your list. So how do they compare?

I don't currently own a laptop. Instead, I use the hollowed-out shell of one—and in some ways, it's better than the real thing. You might not need a fully functioning laptop, either.

Talking about a budget Android phone usually involves a lot of caveats and apologist statements. The Nothing Phone (3a) bucks that trend. It’s a fully-capable device that looks like it should cost $1,000. Instead, it comes in at $379 and is just fantastic.

A long time ago, in smartphones that looked very different, there were SD card slots for expanding storage. That’s a long-lost feature, but it’s still surprisingly easy to use external physical storage with your iPhone or Android phone.

As good as phone cameras have become, they could provide much better shots by using detachable lenses, just like dedicated cameras do. I would love for this to be a thing.

The Epic Games Store on Android now offers two free mobile games each week, a major shift from the monthly freebie system that it previously utilized. This change also applies to iPhone and iPad, but only in regions where Apple allows third-party app stores.

The Google Pixel 9a is finally here as Google's cheapest smartphone. It's pretty nice since it packs most of the punch that the Pixel 9 series has, and it has the same SoC and pretty good cameras. It's increasingly looking like Google might have cut more corners than you'd think, though.

Every so often, the folks at Dead Zebra release a brand new Android mini figurine. The latest adorable collectible features the iconic Android bugdroid mascot in classy wood grain.

Google Wallet just got a whole lot more family-friendly. Now, it’s easier to give your kids a little bit of freedom to use digital payments while still keeping a watchful eye on their spending.

Remember Huawei? The US banned the company from using Google apps and services or collaborating with US companies, but it has made a comeback and has continued selling phones, even without Google services. And it also makes foldable phones, too, even as its latest one might look a bit unique.
