Alphabet Inc.’s Google introduced its latest entry-level Pixel smartphone, hoping that new AI software capabilities, minor hardware refinements and an unchanged $499 price can make up for an otherwise iterative update.

Google's A-series phones have offered some of the best value among midrange handsets for years, and after checking out the new Pixel 10a, I don't see that trend stopping anytime soon.

Google is expanding the creative capabilities of its Gemini app once again, moving beyond text and images into the realm of custom audio. Powered by Google DeepMind’s latest Lyria 3 model, users can now generate 30-second musical tracks directly within the Gemini interface.

Google has introduced a new music-creation capability within its Gemini chatbot, allowing users to compose tracks that match their mood.

According to Google, users can describe the type of song they want, the mood or theme they have in mind, and Gemini will generate a 30-second track.
