Here at Android Authority, we’ve been on a quest to test all the worthy robot vacuums available, and we have a list of the best robot vacuums here. The Narwal Freo Z Ultra is the top contender, but that thing is usually really pricey! If you’ve been looking for a good deal on it, this is the best one we’ve seen so far.
The Google Pixel 9a is already an outstanding budget phone, but the deal is even better right now. It’s $50 off, bringing the Pixel 9a down to a much more reasonable $449. This is an all-time low price we’ve only seen once before!
Spotify’s Android Auto app just got an important upgrade, adding the popular Jam feature to the in-car experience.
When WhatsApp changed its terms in 2021, I was one of the many users who looked for alternative messaging apps for Android. While I had heard about Signal before, the controversial move by WhatsApp prompted me to actually try the app out. I loved it then and I still love it now.
But over all these years, I barely use Signal even though I prefer it greatly over WhatsApp. And that’s because of a major advantage WhatsApp has over the privacy-focused messaging app.
I’ve previously detailed a list of open source Android apps I always install on my phones, old or new. While all those apps add utility to my handsets, few of them provide pure entertainment. That’s where open source Android games come into play.
Open source games might seem counterintuitive, but their transparency and alterability are part of their allure. They allow users to view their source code up and down or enjoy it as they are. Some have even spawned mods of their own, or started as remixed versions of older titles. Each of the games on this list stands tall in its own right. They’re all genuinely great games, and I’ve enjoyed spending time with each.
You’re not alone if you’re pining for longer battery life from your latest smartphone. Despite emerging technologies like silicon-carbon cells, we’ve seemingly hit a ceiling just above the 5,000 mAh mark — at least for phones sold in the US and Europe. Meanwhile, glance over at models in China or India, and you’ll spot far larger batteries in otherwise identical handsets.
For example, the new Nothing Phone 3 packs a 5,150mAh battery globally, but bumps that up to 5,500mAh in India. The HONOR Magic 7 Pro goes from 5,270mAh in Europe to 5,850mAh in China, and the Xiaomi 15 Ultra stretches from 5,410mAh globally to a massive 6,000mAh in its domestic market. So what gives? Why can’t we have these same huge battery capacities on the other side of the world too?
I am a big fan of these “relatively portable” power stations. Their place in the market is solidifying right between the ultra-portable and the ultra-high-capacity models. You can easily take them places, but they are pretty powerful. If you’re looking for one of these middle-of-the-ground batteries, there’s currently a really nice sale on the BLUETTI AC70 Portable Power Station.

Samsung is about to launch its new foldable phones. The Unpacked event is scheduled for July 9th, in under a week. New launches usually come with nice discounts on the previous model, and the sales are starting! You can currently get the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 at a $545 discount!
Amazon’s Prime Day sale is almost here, and it’s already raining deals and offers. Not only has Amazon already started discounting its own devices early, it’s also now offering a very exciting deal for young adults — a free Amazon Prime membership for six months with all the bells and whistles.
Amazon Prime Day is right around the corner, and it’s one of the hottest sales events we see every single year. You don’t have to wait for July 8-11 to start saving on hot products, though. Amazon Prime subscribers usually get early access to discounts, and today we noticed an influx of deals on Amazon devices. Almost all are on sale, so let’s talk about the hottest offers.
Important note: All of these offers are exclusive to Amazon Prime subscribers. They are essentially early Prime Day deals. You can learn more about Amazon Prime plans and pricing here. Here’s a pro tip, new subscribers get a free 30-day trial. If you are eligible for the trial, you can take advantage of these deals and next week’s Prime Day deals for free!
US Mobile is once again getting ready to offer its wild Pixel 9 deal, which will see the $799 phone drop down to just $249 on the carrier. The deal is valid for both new and existing US Mobile customers. The only catch is that the device will be locked to the carrier’s network for 90 days of active service.
Police in Spain, specifically in the autonomous region of Catalonia, are very alert when they spot someone using a Google Pixel phone. As weird as it sounds, Pixels are highly preferred by those involved in organized crime, according to the Catalan police.
AT&T is introducing a new Wireless Account Lock feature that lets you lock your subscriber account to prevent any unauthorized changes. People often complain about reps making changes to their accounts without their knowledge, adding or removing plans, promotions, etc. This new feature should protect AT&T users from anyone trying to alter their accounts without their consent.
Google Photos frequently refreshes its interface and settings, and it’s doing it again with a revamped Photo view, i.e., the screen you see when you open an image in the Google Photos app.
The smart ring arena is evolving quickly, but Oura still sets the pace. Its current-generation ring is polished, feature-packed, and impressively reliable. Yet, no device line is immune to the itch for something more. With new rivals entering the scene and wearables advancing rapidly, now feels like the right time to think about what’s next. The Oura Ring 5 is likely a ways out, but I’m already daydreaming about what the next model might include.
