As someone who uses Android every single day, the arrival of a new major version is always an exciting moment for me. It’s usually pretty easy to predict when it’ll arrive, too. With a couple of exceptions, Google appeared to have settled into a consistent September/October release window. Until now, that is. With Android 16 , Google decided that 10 June was the most appropriate release date. June! Before summer officially started, and more than two months ahead of the expected launch of the Pixel 10 series ....

The down side of that is a tiny dustbox and an inability to get over obstacles and deal with carpets. We like the ability to charge it over USB, but if you’re likely to forget to recharge it look instead to a model with a charging base....

This updated X1 Fold is clearly more polished and streamlined than the version I saw at CES 2020, with a larger screen, new use cases, and enhanced tech....
