Google adds a few innovative features to the Pixel Watch 4 LTE, priced at $390 (was $450), that will significantly improve your everyday routine. When you put that aluminum case on your wrist, you’ll be impressed at how comfortable it feels, because the weight just balances out. Fast charging is also a lifesaver; half a charge in 15 minutes keeps your routines running smoothly even if you’re constantly on the go.
Boston Dynamics’ Spot, a four-legged machine that has been making its way through factories, warehouses, and power plants on its own for years, can now connect to the Orbit platform and the AIVI-Learning tool. This Google Gemini-powered program uses the photos to provide reports on safety, equipment health, and cleanliness. The system has done well with easy tasks, but when scenarios become cluttered, things become a little hazy.
Compact size is rarely combined with so much capability in one device. Google designed the Pixel 10 Pro, priced at $749 (was $999), with everyday requirements in mind, rather than breaking records on paper, and that mindset has resulted in a phone that feels robust and ready to go day after day.
Software is being rolled out to Samsung Galaxy XR devices beginning April 7th, and one of the new features is an experimental setting that adds a new dimension to 2D material inside the headset. Auto Spatialization handles the translation from 2D to 3D so you don’t have to edit a single web page’s code or modify any apps, allowing you to continue watching YouTube or browsing the web while seeing the sites come to life in 3D with layers that provide a sense of depth and space.
Video making has long required breaking the bank or devoting hours to learning complex software. Google Vids eliminates all of those hassles at once. If you already have a Google account, you can create, edit, and share videos right from your browser, no downloads or subscriptions required.
OpenAI has quietly pulled the plug on Sora, announcing the shutdown on social media this morning with a brief thank you to everyone who used the app to create and share videos. The company acknowledged the decision would disappoint many users but offered no explanation for it. Sora launched last September as a mobile app built around a video generation model of the same name, and its run has come to an abrupt end less than a year later
Google Maps just released the most significant navigation update in over a decade, and Gemini is at the center of it all. Two new features take center stage: a conversational tool called Ask Maps and a revised driving mode dubbed Immersive Navigation, which finally incorporates super-realistic 3D views with turn-by-turn directions.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold enters familiar ground, with new CAD renders providing the best look yet at what Google has in mind for its next book-style foldable. These photographs, leaked by a reputable source, OnLeaks, in partnership with Android Headlines, reveal a smartphone that moves forward quietly rather than trying to shake things up with crazy innovation.
Google’s Pixel Watch 3 (41mm) is the best non-flagship smartwatch you can buy right now, especially for $169.99. That’s a significant drop from the original $249.99 MSRP, and surprisingly, it packs more punch than you’d expect for the price.
Google launched the Pixel 10a earlier this month, and the smartphones will begin shipping to customers on March 5. If you pre-order one now for $499 (128GB model), you’ll get a $100 Amazon gift card, Android 16, and seven years of key OS upgrades and security fixes.
