TL;DR Google might have begun working on navigation support for Android XR using Google Maps. Previously, Google has previewed how Maps and Gemini could work together to help you navigate, especially while walking. In addition to step-by-step navigation, your Android XR glasses could use feed from their cameras to help you when you’re feeling lost. Google will also give users the option to turn off navigation or alerts if they don’t want to use it. Android XR is Google’s next big ambitious project that it envisages to power dozens of different styles of AR glasses and XR headsets over the…

While the show floor at CES 2026 is filled with experimental “Physical AI” and humanoid concepts, one device is already delivering the promises of the future. The YEEDI S20 Infinity is a high-performance “Home Agent” that solves the two biggest hurdles discussed at this year’s show: downtime and maintenance fatigue. Most robot vacuums are good at one thing: cleaning until their battery runs out. The YEEDI S20 Infinity, on the other hand, is built to keep going long after others return to their base. While it may have launched last fall, its standout technology still feels ahead of the curve,…

Waymo has spent the past three years refining and testing a minivan-like vehicle made by Chinese automaker Zeekr. And now, before this robotaxi joins Waymo’s official commercial fleet, it’s getting a new name, the company told TechCrunch. The Zeekr RT robotaxi will now be named Ojai (pronounced “oh-hi”) — after the village in the Topatopa Mountains above Los Angeles that is known for its arts community and focus on wellness. Waymo’s official explanation, per spokesperson Chris Bonelli, is that the company determined the U.S. public isn’t familiar with the Zeekr brand. That branding may even carry through to the rider…

At CES 2026, there were a lot of updates to wireless charging technology. One clear trend was to make high-speed chargers easier to carry around. The Qi2 standard is one of the most important new things in this area. It aims to make wireless speeds more like those of wired connections. In this situation, ESR has released new Qi2 wireless charging accessories that focus on keeping the heat down that comes with faster power delivery. ESR MagSlim Power Bank: 10,000mAh and 25W Qi2 wireless charging in a thin body The ESR MagSlim Power Bank is one of the most well-known…

Clicks Power Keyboard. Photograph: Julian ChokkattuAccessory company Clicks makes cases with integrated physical keyboards for select phones, but they’re almost comically long and tough to fit in a pocket. The new Clicks Power Keyboard solves this problem and offers wider compatibility. It’s a magnetic physical keyboard you can snap to MagSafe iPhones or any Qi2 Android device, turning them into old-school BlackBerries of sorts. When you don’t need the keyboard, just take it off. It connects via Bluetooth, and that means you can also use it with other smart devices, like TVs, when you want to enter a password. You…

Not everyone remembers the unique controllers that never quite made it. As third-party peripheral makers attempt to offer gamers something different to the likes of DualSense and Joy-Cons, they often have to go in a different direction. GameSir’s Swift Drive (apparently a working product name) is definitely that. And if you remember 1998’s JogCon for the PS1, there’s definitely some shared DNA.It features a compact steering wheel at the center of an otherwise typical controller design. It’s also got force feedback, tech usually found in (full-size!) steering wheel controllers. GameSir says it has a “high precision” Hall Effect encoder built…

Joe Maring / Android AuthorityTL;DR Samsung says electronics prices are heading up as AI data centers soak up massive amounts of memory chips. At CES 2026, the company confirmed the shortage is already raising costs and admitted it’s actively considering repricing products to match the new reality. DRAM and storage power everything from phones to fridges, but AI servers are buying it in bulk, leaving less for consumer devices. Samsung just issued a warning that’s hard to miss. The huge demand for memory chips — driven by AI data center buildouts — is squeezing supplies so tightly that prices across…
