Lilbits: Google breathes (a little) more life into the Pixel Tablet The Google Pixel Tablet launched in mid-2023 as an Android tablet that you could also use as a smart display when paired with a speaker dock. With an 11 inch, 2.5K display, stylus support, and the same Google Tensor G2 processor used in the Pixel 7 smartphone lineup, it could have paved the way for things to come. But Google hasn't released a new model in more than two and a half years.

Lilbits: A cyberdeck with a 2 inch CRT display, a 25.3 inch E Ink monitor, and the final nail in the coffin for LG’s smartphones Cyberdecks are portable computers that often have a retro-futuristic design. Often that's achieved by hobbyists who combine modern hardware (like a Raspberry Pi or a similar single-board computer) with vintage tech. But one of the coolest... and possibly most useless cyberdeck's I've seen so far takes things to another level by fusing a 2 inch black and white CRT display from 1980s-era…

Lilbits: 8 years of updates for (some) Android phones, Dasung’s 60 Hz E Ink display is going global, and more A handful of Android smartphone makers have committed to offering major OS and security updates for at least seven years after the launch of a new phone. Soon we could see phones with up to eight years of guaranteed updates. Qualcomm has announced it's partnered with Google to begin supporting flagship and upper mid-range processors for that long by delivering OS, kernel, and security updates that don't require "significant changes or upgrades to the platform and OEM code on a device." That's not a guarantee that all phones with supported chips

Google Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel Fold will get two more extra years of OS updates Google's latest Pixel smartphones come with a guarantee that they'll continue to receive operating system and security updates for at least seven years.
