October 2025 Pixel updates start heading out, including fix for Pixel 10 display glitches

2025-10-09T03:02:53+00:00
TL;DR

  • Google’s October 2025 update is landing now for Pixel 7 and newer devices.
  • None of the glitches being patched sound too severe, and most target stability issues.
  • There is one fix specifically for new Pixel 10 handsets, addressing “frozen or fuzzy” screen output.

We may be firmly into the second week of October by now, but with the month getting started mid-week like it did, that’s meant having to wait a few days to get our hands on Google’s latest updates for its Pixel hardware. Yesterday, Verizon offered us a taste of what to expect, previewing the changes in the October 2025 Pixel update, and now we’re finally seeing Google make those updates available.

Forget Pixel Watch 4: Wear OS 6 is now available on Pixel Watch 3 and 2

2025-10-09T03:02:43+00:00
TL;DR

  • Wear OS 6 is now available for Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Watch 2, ahead of the Pixel Watch 4’s release date.
  • The update brings with it a handful of visual changes, including adaptive color theming.
  • The first-generation Pixel Watch hasn’t received the update yet, but it may soon.

Google’s newest wearable, the Pixel Watch 4, hits store shelves tomorrow. Android Authority‘s Kaitlyn Cimino gave the watch a glowing review, praising its refined design, display, and health tracking. She also liked the visual refresh and new features included in Wear OS 6. Today, in a notably pro-consumer move from Google, that update has begun rolling out to older Pixel Watch devices.

As spotted by 9to5Google, the Wear OS 6 update is now available for both Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Watch 2. I’m seeing the update on my own Pixel Watch 3 in the US, and on a post on the Pixel Watch subreddit from user Loud-Possibility4395, multiple commenters say they’ve initiated the update. One mentions downloading Wear OS 6 in Germany, too, implying this is a wide rollout.

Google confirms: Unlocking your phone’s bootloader breaks local Gemini features

2025-10-09T03:02:39+00:00
TL;DR

  • Unlocking your phone’s bootloader has long meant the risk of losing access to certain software features.
  • In support documents, Google now confirms that Gemini Nano does not work on devices with unlocked bootloaders.

If you consider yourself any kind of Android enthusiast, at some point along the line you’ve probably pushed your phone a little beyond what normal users do with it. Maybe that means accessing Developer Options, acquiring root, or unlocking your handset’s bootloader. And while those can be powerful tools, taking your phone in this direction also means accepting the risk that you might break a few things along the way. Today we’re shining a spotlight on one in particular: losing access to Gemini Nano.

Looking for a top-of-the-range new tablet? The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus is on sale for $894.99, which is a heck of a deal compared to its usual $1,149.99 price tag. That’s a solid 22% off, making it the lowest price we’ve seen on the slate. In other words, it’s a Prime Day steal, with the only hitch being that it comes locked to AT&T’s network for mobile data.
