The latest Pixel software update is now available for download on supported devices. The February 2025 update focuses on two fixes.
The release notes note that the February 2025 update includes an audio output fix in Android Auto. It also resolves a bug preventing Bluetooth from connecting with specific devices or accessories.
The new software update is being rolled out to all supported devices, which include the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. However, older Pixel devices, such as the Pixel 5 and earlier models, will no longer receive regular software updates and are not eligible for this release.
Users with supported devices should receive update notifications in the coming days and weeks. Additionally, they can manually check for updates through their phone’s settings menu.
Google is expected to announce the Pixel 10 series in just a few months. Like the current Pixel 9 series, it’s likely to contain four handsets. In this case, a Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
We expect these phones will feature a Google Tensor G5 chip. Camera enhancements are also likely as are software improvements, specifically with AI. The new phones could also use a MediaTek modem rather than the Samsung Exynos modem like previous models.
The Pixel 9 series was announced last August, while the Pixel 8 series launched in October a year before. We can probably expect the Pixel 10 series this summer.
The last significant Pixel update was released in December. The update brought several new features and enhancements. Key improvements included upgrades to Gemini, Google’s AI model, which now offers a “saved info” option for personalized responses, better app integration, and more.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
