A couple of weeks back, we told you that a T-Mobile fee increase was on the way that would hit your bill. This would be the third time in less than 2 years that T-Mobile was increasing bills through fees. Today, that fee increase has gone live, so on your next bill, assuming you don’t have one of those plans with fees baked into the price, you’ll pay more. How much more? At least $1.00 per line mo

In addition to the big news that is the Google Fitbit Edge this morning, Google also announced several major upgrades that are coming to Google Health, the Fitbit Air, and the Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5. There’s actually more to dive into than you are probably expecting, so let’s just get straight to it. Upgraded automatic workout detection Google has brought major improvements to automatic activity
12 Oct 2026The Google Fitbit Edge went official this morning as the next fitness tracker to be paired with Google Health. This new device fits somewhere between the screen-free Fitbit Air and the new Pixel Watch 5. Google is pitching the new Fitbit Edge as a device that is super comfortable to wear all day, will give you glanceable information at all times, and will last for an entire week on a single charge
12 Oct 2026The next batch of phones seeing the October Samsung update is the Galaxy S26 series. Like the update for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Ultra, this is a minor bug fixer, which makes sense since the S26 series was just updated to One UI 9 and Android 17 in recent weeks . If you own a Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, or Galaxy S26 Ultra, the update should be live for you, at least on Verizon. This should be
12 Oct 2026Google launched its new Googlebook devices in recent weeks as the ultimate laptop companion for Android devices. In fact, in almost every promotion for these new Googlebooks, they mention that these work best with other Android phones, and we’re not just talking about Pixel phones. It then came as a surprise to Samsung phone owners who were missing some critical Googlebook features out of the box.
10 Oct 2026The Google TV Streamer is now well over 2 years old , if you can believe that. The streaming media box with its sleek pill-shaped design, was once the easiest recommendation in the business for someone looking to upgrade their not-that-smart smart TV. But because we’ve reached the 2-year mark and Google handed the streamer a substantial price increase without any upgrades, there may be other optio
10 Oct 2026Google is pushing out a new Google Health update today to finish off the week. This update brings 3 changes, one of which only affects those in Japan. The other two you might find useful, though. This is Google Health 5.10 and it’s rolling out now on both iOS and Android. In the update, we’re seeing an expansion of Irregular Rhythm Notifications to Japan. This feature analyzes heart rhythm data in
9 Oct 2026Google confirmed today that the Fitbit Edge is indeed real and is launching much sooner than we expected. In a short teaser posted to Twitter, Google told us to get our wallets ready on Monday. For those not familiar with Fitbit Edge, this is expected to be Google’s new fitness tracker that lands somewhere between the new Fitbit Air and Pixel Watch 5. It’ll have a small display, yet not run the fu
9 Oct 2026It’s Friday, so Google has continued on with its schedule of releasing new Android 17 beta updates to take us into the weekend. Today, they released Android 17 QPR2 Beta 7 for all of the still-supported Pixel devices. The new update only has a couple of bug fixes, so it does appear to be minor. This would be Google fine-tuning everything as we approach a stable release that should arrive in Decemb
9 Oct 2026Google’s Pixel phones are mostly known for their cameras. While someone like me might choose one for the software first, I think it’s safe to say that the industry knows Google’s phones as having top tier cameras, maybe even the best. But since the world can’t stop infusing everything with AI, the Google Pixel camera experience continues to adopt new AI-powered features that Google has cooked up.
9 Oct 2026UPDATE 10/12 : These are official as of today. The Speaker S costs $59, while the Speaker M costs $109. Nothing Store : Speaker S | Speaker M This morning, we noticed that Nothing had submitted two new devices to the FCC under the model numbers E494 and E495. These devices are each labeled as a “Portable Wireless Speaker” for their affordable CMF brand. Thanks to those FCC listings, we’ve been han
9 Oct 2026The Pixel Watch 5 may be the shiny new object on the wrist, but it’s not all that different from last year’s Pixel Watch 4. And because of that fact, buying last year’s model with a steep discount is probably going to be the right play. At the moment, you can find the Pixel Watch 4 LTE (41mm) with a huge $200 off discount . That’s a 45% price drop from its full $449 price point. This deal is likel
8 Oct 2026As far as I know, the Amazon whatever deal days thing is over, but we’re still finding really good deals. In fact, this Galaxy S26 Ultra deal is better than the one we had earlier in the week . The Galaxy S26 Ultra is up to $450 off right now and you don’t need a special code or trade-in to get the discount. $450 off Samsung’s best phone I’m going to guess this won’t last much longer, but Amazon h
8 Oct 2026It feels a bit weird to start talking about the Pixel 12 series only a couple of months after Google officially gave us the Pixel 11 series, but that’s how this industry works. The story of the Pixel 12 and Pixel 12 Pro is already taking shape and we want you to know everything about it. For the Pixel 12 series, we already have codenames, a potential release date, early display specs, and more. Co
8 Oct 2026The Pixel Watch 2 and Pixel Watch 3 models that have LTE connectivity initially launched with access to a feature called Safety Signal. Google announced today that they are cutting off free support for this in December. In a short community post, Google explained that Safety Signal was an included feature for the LTE models of each watch that would provide Emergency SOS and Fall Detection alerting
