Mattel is a toy company. Google is an Internet services and product company. Exactly what happens when the two meets is anyone’s guess, but we’ll get some answers on February 13, since both companies sent press invites to an event, as reported by 9to5Google.

Exactly what the event entails is still a mystery, though the invitation sports the tagline, “View what’s possible.” In addition, the invitation features what could be a reel from an old View-Master, which was a stereoscope back in the mid 1990s that people used to look at photos.

The obvious guess is an update to the View-Master, which could include features from Cardboard or even Google Glass. Regardless of what it is, the product announcement will continue Google’s focus on kids, as the company recently purchased Launchpad Toys and is in cahoots with Disney for their new animated preschool series, Miles from Tomorrowland.

Something else to keep in mind is the Mattel-Google event is scheduled one day before Toy Fair 2015 starts in New York City, so the two companies’ product will presumably be shown off there. Of course, we’ll make sure to report what they announce.

And so concludes the saga of Google Pixel 8a leaks, merely days ahead of its expected unveiling at the I/O developers conference. Earlier today, insider @OnLeaks (in collaboration with Smartprix) shared more marketing renders of the upcoming budget phone, complete with its asking price in tow.

It seems Google is going to charge $499 for its next phone, at least the 128GB base storage variant, that is. For the 256GB storage variant, buyers will have to shell out $599. That’s the same asking price as the Google Pixel 7a, which arrived last year and won plaudits for its terrific mix of raw firepower, camera prowess, and feature-loaded Pixel software experience.

A new Google Pixel Tablet is coming, but it’s not what you think

It's been almost a year since the Google Pixel Tablet went up for preorder, leading many Android tablet fans to wonder when the inevitable Pixel Tablet 2 will arrive. A new rumor suggests that Google could release a new Pixel Tablet as early as next month, but it's probably not what you were expecting or hoping for.

According to @MysteryLupin on X (formerly Twitter), Google is planning to "relaunch" the Pixel Tablet without the charging/speaker dock included in the box. As you'll likely recall, the speaker dock is the Pixel Tablet's standout feature. You can use the Pixel Tablet on its own as a traditional Android tablet when you want, and when you're done, you throw it on the dock to transform it into a smart display. The idea of Google selling the Pixel Tablet without its claim to fame is an interesting one.

Google just released the first Android 15 beta. Here’s what’s new

Google has just released the first public beta build of Android 15, marking an end to the developer-focused test phase. The beta version’s release also means that Android 15 is finally in a state where it can be tried by the masses without people having to worry about too many bugs leaving their phone in a sorry state.

The first beta version of Android 15 doesn’t introduce a ton of new features, as most of the notable additions have already appeared in the Developer Preview builds. Google’s blog post, however, mentions the following features as the key highlights
