admin2025-10-07T03:03:30+00:00- Android Auto games platform GameSnacks seems like it’s being deprecated.
- 9to5Google has shared several user reports that the app is no longer accessible.
- Google is working to expand native game compatibility on Android Auto.

9to5Google has shared a handful of user reports that GameSnacks is missing from the in-car app list. It’s not clear which version of the software users running into this issue have installed.
AT&T will offer you a new phone every year for three years, but what’s the catch?
admin2025-10-07T03:03:27+00:00- AT&T now offers a free phone upgrade every year for three years when you bundle its home internet with wireless service.
- The deal includes AT&T Next Up Anytime, 20% off home internet, and up to $800 in switcher credits.
- New and existing customers qualify, though existing ones only get the phone upgrade benefit.
As the competition over wireless customers continues to heat up between the big three, we’ve seen T-Mobile begin to outshine its competitors in some ways. To combat this, Verizon and AT&T are both working hard to win new users. To that end, Verizon recently announced a new Switchers promotion, and now AT&T has something new up its sleeve as well: a free smartphone every year for three years. The catch? You’ll need to bundle AT&T home internet with cellular service.

Google may be planning to drop Samsung for the Tensor G6’s modem for a very good reason
admin2025-10-07T03:03:23+00:00- Google may not use a Samsung modem for its next chip.
- A rumor suggests that the tech giant may pick MediaTek’s M90 modem instead.
- The reason may be that the M90 modem is faster and more energy efficient.
When Google first dipped its toe into the world of semi-custom silicon development, it tapped Samsung to be its partner. After the Tensor G4, Google shook things up by switching to TSMC for the Tensor G5 (the chip in the Pixel 10). However, Google still turned to Samsung for the Tensor G5’s modem. A new rumor suggests Google could ditch Samsung completely for the next Tensor chip.

Google Japan’s latest keyboard fever dream puts a new spin on rotary dialing
admin2025-10-07T03:03:23+00:00- Google Japan has a long history of announcing humorous new keyboard ideas.
- Last year the team brought us an infinitely curving Mobius strip keyboard.
- This year we’re going back to the days of rotary phones, with a rotary-dial keyboard.
Has the Google of 2025 lost some of the spark that made the company seem like such a fun place to work in decades past? That’s probably a fair criticism, and while it may have been an inevitability for a tech firm of this size, we’re still just pleased as punch when some of that old, weird Google manages to shine through. That’s exactly why we’re as happy as we are to see the crew over at Google Japan so gleefully coming back year after year with a preposterous new keyboard design — and this year, they cooked up something just fantastically bizarre.
