YouTube is in a war against ad blockers, with its latest move seemingly closing a loophole in Firefox, and people just keep complaining about it.

OnePlus phones have had a Gemini shortcut on the lockscreen for a while now, something devices from Google and Samsung still lack, as highlighted by the company’s latest launch.

While there’s still time to capitalize on the ongoing Discover Samsung Summer Sale, we have some fresh deals to scope out today as well. Firstly Google Pixel Watch 3 is now available with as much as $130 in savings on open-box units with a full warranty, while the ongoing Pixel Tablet deals remain intact. From there we move over to some notable PC offers – Samsung’s “thinnest and lightest” Galaxy Chromebook Plus is back at its 2025 low with $125 knocked off the list price and Microsoft’s 15-inch touchscreen Surface Laptop 7 with the Snapdragon X Elite action has hit a new all-time low at $400 off. Just be sure to scope out the best price of the year on Lenovo’s Legion Go PC gaming handheld if you’re passing on Switch 2 and head below for more.

It appears Samsung is finally going to release an FE version of one of its foldables, and new reports indicate the company has decided on a price. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE edition will reportedly come with high-end specs and will only cost around $750.

Open Canvas is perhaps the biggest and most impressive upgrade to smartphone multitasking we’ve ever seen, and Google is gearing up to launch similar functionality in Android 16. While Google didn’t directly copy the split-screen feature, even Oppo thinks it’s close enough and commends Google for implementing it in Android 16.

YouTube Premium was never supposed to be the tier that rids the site of ads. Instead, it’s an option offered by Google to users who want a trimmed experience for less money than a full Premium experience costs. In a change to some regions, Google reiterates that YouTube Premium Lite is going to start seeing ads in new spots.

YouTube Music has been testing a redesign of the Now Playing screen since November of 2024. It’s not yet rolled out, and still in flux with YouTube Music now moving the thumbs up and down buttons.

Getting a new smartphone software update in the middle of the year is always going to feel weird, but with barely any headline functions and little to get excited over, is Android 16 going to suck? The short answer is: maybe, but here’s why.
