cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-03-23 19:30:06

Google's latest budget phone, the $499 Pixel 9A, arrived fresh off the heels of Apple's "affordable" offering, the $599 iPhone 16E. Very convenient timing. The Pixel 9A is $300 cheaper than the baseline Pixel 9 and therefore scales back when it comes to features like cameras and RAM. But it maintains other attributes, like display size, processor and AI features -- and even touts a higher battery capacity than its pricier Pixel counterparts.

Inside the AI Party at the End of the World

wired.com Kylie Robison 2026-03-22 19:00:00

In a $30 million mansion perched on a cliff overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, a group of AI researchers, philosophers, and technologists gathered to discuss the end of humanity. The Sunday afternoon symposium, called “Worthy Successor,” revolved around a provocative idea from entrepreneur Daniel Faggella: The “moral aim” of advanced AI should be to create a form of intelligence so powerful and wise that “you would gladly prefer that it (not humanity) determine the future path of life itself.”

First Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 3 leak has bad news for 2027’s flagship phones

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-23 19:26:07

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The first major Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 3 leak suggests Qualcomm could offer two versions of the chip, akin to Apple. The leaker also asserts that 2027’s flagship phones could be more expensive due to the cost of the chipset. It also sounds like standard flagship phones could use a less capable flagship Snapdragon processor.

AOSP isn’t dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developers

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-23 20:11:57

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google has made it harder to build custom Android ROMs for Pixel phones by omitting their device trees and driver binaries from the latest AOSP release. The company says this is because it’s shifting its AOSP reference target from Pixel hardware to a virtual device called “Cuttlefish” to be more neutral. While Google insists AOSP isn’t going away, developers must now reverse-engineer changes, making the process for supporting Pixel devices more difficu
