The Pixel 11 isn't even official yet, and it's already facing three separate downgrades, according to the leaks.

Google already confirmed the Pixel 11 is getting more expensive before the event even started.

Trevor Noah is hosting this year's Made by Google event with Steph Curry and PinkPantheress joining, and the leaks cover everything from a first-party tracker to a smaller battery on the new foldable.

I'm curious how much of this Google actually addresses on stage.

SpaceX to rival major U.S. carriers. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon stocks drop as mobile network ambitions are revealed.

SpaceX just told investors it wants to build a real mobile network and go after AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile directly.

It already spent $19.6 billion on spectrum for it, and carrier stocks dropped within hours of the announcement.

Analysts are split on whether this actually threatens the big three anytime soon, or if it takes years to matter.

Either way, your next phone carrier decision just got more interesting.

WhatsApp adds anonymous polls, mentions to group chats, and more updates.

Group chats are finally getting easier to manage.

Polls can now lock at a set time, hide who voted, and get edited for 15 minutes after posting.

There's also a new mention that reaches everyone, even in muted chats, plus a one-tap way to spin off a smaller group from an existing one.

If your group chat has ever spiraled into poll chaos, this fixes it.

WhatsApp users were locked out for 24 hours with no warning, here’s what happened

Imagine opening WhatsApp and finding yourself locked out of your account and banned, with a message saying you're "under review."

That happened to thousands of users this week, with zero warning and zero explanation.

Meta says it was a moderation glitch, and access has been restored, but it still hasn't explained what caused it.

If your most reliable app can lock you out overnight, is any of them really reliable?

Reddit stock fell over 20%, wiping out billions due to Google’s AI Overview impact 📉

Reddit just had one of its best quarters ever, and the stock dropped anyway.

The reason comes down to one thing: Google's AI answers are keeping people from ever clicking through to Reddit threads.

The CEO said they're still looking for a "win-win" with Google, which is corporate speak for "we haven't figured this out yet."

This is the same tension playing out across half the internet right now due to Google implementing AI overviews.

Google Earth AI tool pulled in 24 hours after fake plane crash, nuclear plant images spread

Google let people generate AI images on real Google Earth satellite maps.

Within a day, users had faked a nuclear plant in Iran, a plane hitting a Manhattan skyscraper, and refugees at the US border, all sitting on real coordinates.

The tool never once refused a prompt. Google pulled it the next day and says stronger guardrails are coming.

All four Pixel 11 series phones leaked in full, specs and pricing included

A leak just dropped full specs and pricing for all four Pixel 11 phones, and one number in particular caught my eye.

The base model reportedly starts higher than last year, while the folding version barely moves at all.

Nothing here is official yet, but the detail in this leak is hard to ignore. I have a feeling we will be talking about that Pro Fold price for a while.

New Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold leaked images confirm Pixel Glow made it to the foldable

New leaked photos of Google's next foldable just hit the web, and one detail about the hinge has people talking more than the specs.

The phone looks thinner, the camera bump looks different, and that glow feature everyone was guessing about seems to be real.

Nothing is official yet, but these images look like they came straight from Google's own marketing files. The launch event is only a couple of weeks away now.

Samsung turned a few wrong PIN attempts into a factory reset you can’t undo

Type your PIN wrong 13 times on a device running One UI 9.0, and your phone locks permanently, no more chances; factory reset is the only way out.

Even fingerprint and face unlock don't excuse you from remembering your backup password every 72 hours.

If you've ever blanked on your own PIN, this is your sign to double-check it today.

vivo X300 E trailer leak confirmed the one spec everyone was waiting on

vivo just confirmed the chip and battery inside its newest phone, and the number is kind of ridiculous.

A 7,200 mAh battery paired with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 means this thing might not care how hard you use it in a day.

The camera setup has a ZEISS telephoto lens too, though I'm curious how the cheaper sensors hold up.

Full details drop tomorrow at the official launch.
